<33333333 ;w; Thank you so much! (Haha I know, right? Now that I look back on it, they have so many adorable moments. Though Lightning seems a little more like a motherly figure to him at first, I can see them being together when he grows up. I haven't seen Final Fantasy 13-2 though xD)
Ahh thank you thank you thank you :) I want to give Hope a noogie now hehe. I wish anime hair was real sometimes xD
xD Aww don't beat yourself up about it, I love criticism. Anyway, I totally see what you mean. What I did was I drew everything as black lineart, and then I went back and colorized the lineart. That's why Lightning's arm looks a little funky haha. But I didn't put as much lineart on the folds of his...cape? Thingie so that's why it looks so faded compared to the rest xD Plus it could use a little more defined shading. Thank you!!!
<33333 I love YOU to pieces!! Thank you very much for this lovely, long comment. Those are the best to receive~~~ heehee c: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Ryu-chan!! <3333333333

My oh my, this is rather adorable to the max, isn't it? I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to commenting on this yet, because it's so cute that I just want to heap lots and lots of praise on it!~ (It also helps that I adore this couple and think that, in an odd way, it might work out in the future.)
Needless to say, I think everything looks awesome, but I have three favorite parts. First, I admire how talented you've become at profile views over the years, so I positively LOVE how you drew Hope's face. There's just something so cute and, for lack of my ability to have proper grasp of the English language, pokeable about them.
Second, the way you draw hair, particularly Lightning's wavy hair in this picture. It just looks so natural, soft, and fluffy that you make it believable. And Hope's hair looks so ruffleable also!
Third, and this one's rather random, but the soft lights in the background. It just adds a little something extra to the picture that not only makes it festive, but also kinda ties the picture together. Also, it creates for an interesting pseudo light-source that makes everything looks very soft.
As for things to improve on...uh...the only thing is that the outline for Hope's clothing seems not as...defined? as the rest of the pic. The rest of the pic is so nice and clean that its just kind of noticeable (Geh, I feels so mean giving criticism of your digital coloring when you're about 100x better at it than I am).
So yeah, thank you so much for sharing this work of art with us; it's adorable and I love it to pieces. It's been wonderful to watch you grow as an artist and get to know you as a friend over the years! :D
Haha, sappy Ryuchu is sappy. And don't worry; I get distracted by Let's Plays all the time on YouTube! At least you don't suffer alone. I am here with you! :D
And thank you for the event! Haha I'm so glad you made one, because I was seeing all these SS events all over the place but none for just fanart! Then I managed to stumble upon yours and Jen-chan's :)
You're welcome! :)
This is beautifully done, Den!!! I love it, you did so well!! I'm really glad you entered this event, thankyou so much and Merry Christmas to you!!! <3
