This seriously makes me want to go home and resume playing FFXII RIGHT NOW. eeeee! I loved Balthier & Fran's connection, and I love even more seeing them in civvies relaxing at the Cloudborne. Speaking of which, this is such a nifty idea! It makes me laugh in delight just to look at it, great work!

Ha, this is really clever on the background there! Lovely piece!

Such a neat idea with the game still as a background! And they make an adorable couple. ;D Plus I really dig the transparent effect on the wineglasses.

I love the colors you chose for his shirt and her dress.

Hee, I love it when artists are excited about their prompts! The connection between the characters is great, very chummy and comfortable. His expression is pretty hilarious. :P

This is the first time I've seen someone do a background like this. People are so creative this year!

Heh! The background is a really cute idea, and Balthier and Fran look so comfortable and chill ♥ Fran especially looks fantastic in purple!

Aww, Balthier and Fran! I like how the bottle combines the colours of their clothes. :D And using the actual game as a background like this is a really interesting idea; I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that before. Nice work!

I really like this--the contrast between the background and the foreground, which is so typical in games in general, and the vector shading (and if it's not vector shading, then kudos, because it sure looks like it, and that's hard to do!). His pretty smile, and her hair, and the colors.

This is really neat - integrating your bit of art right into the source material! ;) That's a creative approach. The characters you've painted look great, too; that's some fab relaxed posing. I like the translucent wine-glasses, too. Clink! :D

heee! I love the idea of a casual night on the town, unwinding after they've been up to no good (successfully, if their grins are any indication). And Fran's outfit is so fabulous. You really nailed the easy camaraderie I adore so much between this pair. Thank you! ♥

This made me grin. Balthier and Fran look great all dressed up, and I love Fran's slightly cynical expression - she knows Balthier too well! Cute use of the background.

IDK the fandom, but I love your lineless style, and the fun they seem to be having.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Ohhh nice cel painting over the background. No clue as to what the fandom is, but I really really like the way you pulled this off.
Nice job ^__^

Heee I love how they're dressed for an evening on the town, as opposed to their usual outfits. Very sweet!
