終焉を謳うもの | グレイ

Well, after many months- I'm happy to share my (rather ambitious) cover for our Final Fantasy Ladies zine: Lucia Sidera. I still can't believe the team trusted me with such an important cover. I decided to be insane and try and draw every main gal from each title and spin off (I ran out of time, so I didn't get everyone sadly). The mod team was already SO patient with me. I didn't have to do all this- but I legitimately had this vision since 2009 (and there were a LOT less gals back then). You can see from teh initial sketch layout, how many character were originally planned- but then...I went off the rails. (note, the first image is the poster version, and second is book variant)

Final Fantasy is kinda my life, let's be real- as corny as it sounds. It has been with me most of my time here on Earth. It set me upon the path I'm on now. I wouldn't be Allison without these characters, the music, the art, the stories. I won't mush too much, but this, to me, was a very special opportunity to show just how much I love this series. Getting to share that with other people in this community, whose life has been deeply touched by Final Fantasy meant a lot to me- and I hope people find there faves in this cover!

I have the remaining folded posters from the zine bundles coming in the mail, but will also be offering this as a 11x17 print soon! So much detail means it won't be coming in smaller sizes, apologies!

Anyway, it would be all too easy for me to talk about this cover and my thoughts overall but I suppose it's not overly necessary- it can speak for itself I guess! I hope you like it :)

here's a poll to annoy people. there ARE wrong answers. vote carefully.

(I only get 12 options, so I focused on mainline ones only AND only single player ones. I think not many people hold FFI-FFIII as their favourites so I put these out in order to be able to fit everything else. I'd prefer for people to vote based on the "original" game- So, discarding stuff like the 30000 other games in the FFVII saga for example. Remasters are ok to vote for tho.)

i'll probably be shaking my head in disbelief in a week but oh well!

I was discussing Baron Trio with a friend over on bluesky and exceeded the character limit in replies, then realized I could succinctly illustrate my point with a single shitpost and figured I might as well share here too

I sketched out my “version” of rydia while I was working on other illustrations yesterday. Nothing much is different about her besides the fact that she is a mash up of her multiple designs. Bonus funny (bunny) bit with a gullible bun Cecil, this is from a convo I had with my best friend lolol…I’m sorry for making you say that Rosaaaa!

Motivated by @estinininininen's post about Holy Dragoon Kain's design being better if he had a helmet, I tried my hand at an edit. It's not perfect, but I thought it was a fun proof of concept.

(Bonus bang version and a side-by-side under the cut.)
