Colored version!

[chibi-mushroom]

So back in June or July I was looking at some fantastic final fantasy 8 art by @skribleskrable and saw this picture that tends to get reblogged around Christmas. (If you like ff8 and/or Squall and Rinoa, seriously, go check out the blog!) Immediately inspired, I ask and was allowed to attempt to make one of the sweaters on it. Though it’s not finished, here’s what I managed to squeak out

For anyone who’s interested in making the sweater (and improving on it) for yourself, I will post the rough pattern and intarsia I made while making it. Hope you all like it, happy holidays!

The Final Fantasy VIII dub crew just did a bunch of skribleskrable's comics and I am SOARING

[thehollowwriter]

Okay this was really difficult for me but I did it! I made a ship card for Azul amd Finn. Thank you @ramshacklerumble for the link to the blank! Finn's picture and coffin icon were made by @boopshoops

(I wasn't sure if I should fill in the last one but if you must know Finn is more kinky Azul is more vanilla- *gets shot*)

What next? - part 2

So, with the last poll I didn't get a decisive result and I thought I'd try again. Only the titles that got a vote are in here, but I added some info about the story.

Get your vote in!

Surrender: Squall/Rinoa smut.

Petrichor: Squall/Rinoa facing her being a Sorceress and him being a SeeD, and what it entails. Inspired by a fanart by skribleskrable.

La cura: sequel to Remember.

Iris: during a short stay in Winhill, as Garden is going to Centra, Squall comes to terms with his experience in D-District and faces his feelings for Rinoa (in-game).

Twenty questions: Squall/Rinoa confession time.

Behind a broken mirror: after the war, Rinoa has to tell her father she has become a Sorceress, and deal with his reaction.

Constellations: another in-game story, for a prompt I received some time ago.

If you need some more help to choose, check the "my wips" tag for snippets!

I had to screenshot this amazing comment by @skribleskrable in the FFVIII Discord!! Happy Birthday FFVIII!!!

[chaos-shrine]

Happy Birthday 1 by skribleskrable

This started out so goofy and turned out SO SAD OH MY GOD FEELINGS.

[ssnakey-b]

Fandoms are fun!

Edit: formatting on Tumblr is weird, here’s a link to the full-sized version.

In what may be my weirdest idea for a comic yet, this is my reaction to @skribleskrable‘s “Afterimages”, which I have already gushed about before. It fucked me right up and drawing about it was the only way I could cope.

Okay, more seriously, I just found it amusing that I did keep this comic for the end specifically because I assumed it would be uplifting, and considering a lot of FF8 tend to get pretty sad and/or dark, I thought I’d need a pick-me-up at the end, so I felt like sharing. And yeah, it’s a fan comic of a fan comic.

Anyway, enjoy this quickly done (by my standards), unnecessarily elongated, non-shaded copy-and-paste strip that will make no sense whatsoever to anybody who isn’t familiar with a very specific circle of a very specific fandom.

Also, I ended up looking like Brian Blessed in the second panel. This pleases me. I wish my beard actually looked this good.

Oh, and I actually wanted to have a caption that reads “fandoms are fun!” in big pink letters at the end but I couldn’t get it to look right.

10 things about me

I was tagged by the wonderful @skribleskrable

1.    When I was in the 5th grade a boy had a crush on me and wrote me cute love letters.  He also wrote a list of things he liked (I was on the list) and a list of things he didn't like (it mostly was a list of vegetables).  He gave me a chocolate koala lollipop that said "I WUV YOU" on it.  When my mom found out she wouldn't let me eat it.  Instead she made me keep it in a tupperware because it was so cute.  I think it might still be sealed up in my childhood bedroom somewhere.  Years later when I was at a high school reunion his friend texted him to tell him that I was there.  He showed up within minutes even though we'd gone to different high schools.  Haha, it was fun and cute.  We playfully argued about whether or not it was a chocolate bear or a koala bear.  (I told him it was a koala bear and it was still in my room and I could PROVE it.)

2.     I'm weirdly fond of background people in my life. I'm talking about people I see regularly, but I don't know them at all.  Basically NPCs.  For instance, mail carriers, grocery clerks, neighborhood dog walkers, etc.  Sometimes I make up background stories for them or give them names.  (Once one of these NPCs came up to me and said their dog really liked me.  The dog would always see me going on walks and he would want to go outside and join me.  So cute. I was friends with a dog and didn't even know it.)

3.     I used to be afraid of waterbeds when I was really little because I was afraid I'd drown.  This is probably because a boy pushed me into a swimming pool when I couldn't swim.  I was so young I didn't even know to close my eyes or hold my breath.  I just remember sinking to the bottom with my eyes open in shock and gulping down pool water.  Luckily somebody's mom saw it happen even though the pool was crowded, and she saved me.  (It's okay, I know how to swim now.)

4.     I really, really love animals and I've almost been a lifelong vegetarian.  One of my earliest memories is another little girl telling me what meat was made of (ANIMALS!) and it horrified me.  (I'm not rude about it though.  It's just not for me.)  I don't even know exactly how old I was because I was so young.  I try to hide this because it makes people really angry for some reason.  (You're probably reading this right now and getting angry.)

5.     My brother was born 2.5 months early. I was born 2 months early.  We had a 50/50 chance of survival.  And now I just had a baby that was born 2 months early.  Luckily we all survived.  

6.     My family thinks it's weird that I like to read books for FUN.  (I might be the black sheep of the family.  Nobody else likes doing anything creative or even appreciates it much.)

7.     I've worked in public and academic libraries & I have my masters degree in library and information science.  Maybe after my child has grown I can look for a job as a librarian again.  Working the adult reference desk was really fun and I love reading too.  When you work in a public library you get to see a lot of weird stuff.

8.     My husband says I have a low sounding voice for a woman. When I was a teen a woman once told me that I'd have a good voice for radio because of that.  (I hope she didn't mean good FACE for radio.)

9.    I made archaeological technical illustrations for a book.   So I think it's fun to say that something I've contributed to has been published.  It's probably only in a few academic libraries though.  My husband also is an author on some science articles because...

10.     My husband has his doctorate in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry.  He did cancer research, but now he's teaching science at a college.  I think that's really cool and I can ask him science questions.  He goes along with my Final Fantasy enthusiasm pretty well.  He helps me write fanfics and comes up with ideas for my cat comics sometimes too.

I'll tag anybody who wants to do this.

Trying to force myself to practice lineart by cleaning up an older sketch. The original sketch also had Zell in it, maybe I'll try to add him too and color it properly 🤔

[lunamanar]

So, @xrebelxheartx is coming over to stay with me for a week starting early Friday morning and I am so incredibly psyched you all have no idea. 

I literally completely rearranged my entire house and threw out a bunch of old crap and sorted/organized EVERYTHING just because I needed somewhere to put the nervous energy. 

@runicmagitek @skribleskrable and @jadetarsier have some idea why, haha, I can’t believe I’m still awake after doing more physical work in one day than I usually do in six months. 

Flails sorry I’m not even sure why I’m putting this here I just need to put it somewhere!

Pics under the cut for those interested: 

Among the pictures hung: 

Secret of Mana

Pokemon (look closely)

Celeste (NB: I don’t live in Canada, but I kinda wish I did)

Vintage butterfly paintings that belonged to my grandmother and will never, ever hang straight.

And a giant metal butterfly

This couch and wine shelf we just bought for the master bedroom retro gaming nook.The cats adore it and have already started working on shredding it, of course. 

And in addition to this I spent 10 hours clearing out my home office of all the clutter and crap that has accumulated in the 2 years I’ve lived here. No pictures of that since there’s not much to see except a lack of mess. 

In any case I am in so much pain but I am so happy right now, haha. I really, really needed this change and this visit. It’s been such a long time coming and we’re gonna have so much fun!

[iffylogic]

You and skribleskrable are the reason I made my tumblr account. I followed your blogs for some time since I’m also a big fan of final fantasy 8 and also and also like to draw.

To be honest, you two gave me the final push forward to confidently share my artwork since I never felt confident in my art skills.

Thank you, iffy!

Oh that's AWESOME, I'm so happy for you! :D

That confidence and skill will build with time and persistence, and it's easy to keep at it as long as you're patient and having fun. I already really dig what you've drawn so far, and I look forward to seeing more, best of luck!

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to frame your ask because it made my day sdljkfhasdfj ♥♥♥

The Official Bio of Blaze Dugal

Basic Info:

Name: Blaze Dugal

Nicknames: Triggerfish (Floyd)

Homeland: The Coral Sea

Species: Sunshine Chromis mer

Birthday: 19th February

Age: 17

Height/length: 168cm

Dominant hand: Right

Class: 2-D

Dorm: Savanaclaw

Besf subject: Practical magic

Club: Film club

Unique magic: TBA

Family:

Unnamed mother

Preferences:

Hobbies: Studying movies, dancing

Likes: Music, movies, doing his makeup, anything he deems cool, swords

Dislikes: Anything he thinks is cringy or boring, Finn, Vil, students that are too quiet

Favourite food: Stuffed crab

Least favourite food: unagi

Appearance:

Blaze has bright yellow eyes and short, fluffy purple and yellow hair, like this:

In his mer form, he looks like your generic mermaid. He's rail thin. Human upper half, fish lower half. In his human form, he treats his appearance with even less care than Floyd (he thinks it makes him look cool), so he usually looks scruffy. His casual clothes usually consist of black edgy outfits. He hates how bright his hair is and thinks it's childish, but his mother won't let him dye it black like he wants to. He has a purple heart-shaped birthmark on his forehead.

Personality:

He's a bully, to put it simply. He's violent, aggressive, and easily set off. Think of him as the guy who's always like, "You talking about me???". He constantly picks on and demeans anyone he finds cringey, weird or lame, and thinks of himself in high regard (no, actually, not at all) His mother said he was a star, after all.

Although, there's this deep sinking feeling that he's simply not enough. Around his mother, he's much more meek and very quiet. He's very protective of his friends and dormates, and is quick to defend them.

For a guy so seemingly bullheaded, he is hyper aware of his surroundings and quick to react. If you saw him flinch when you raised your hand too fast, no, you didn't.

Some Fun Facts/Extra Info

•"Fun" Fact his mother is both physically and verbally abusive toward him, and he's immensely afraid of her. He feels weak and helpless whenever he's with her and makes himself feel stronger by terrorising those around him.

•His mother is a local actor for small productions with an alcohol problem, but likes to describe herself as a film star, and expects Blaze to be one too, often telling her that he'll leave a "blazing trail of greatness".

•He is very efficient at being quiet

•He doesn't eat much at all because "stars aren't greedy and fat"

•Blaze was one of Azul's bullies and the only persisting bully of Finn. He often, and still does, calls Finn a parasite and other demeaning names

•Really, he wants to do something outside of the entertainment industry, but what else is there for him?
