ARTIST THOUGHTS: This is what constitutional law essays drive you to do – nursing a little sketch for three days straight in between writing about some of the most boring and inane dribble known to mankind. O____o Anyway yes, this started out as a very quick mouse drawn sketch in Flash (ALL HAIL THE SMOOTHING TOOL XD) but rather than face writing my essay, I imported it into Photoshop and kept fiddling with it. And on the third day Fayt was finished and IT WAS GOOD. XD XD

First Star Ocean fan art I’ve drawn which isn’t in wallpaper form, but that’s what happens when you do rushed computer sketches at a puny resolution and wind up working on them even though they can’t be resized. :ohmygod: So yeah, it’s Fayt. And for once Albel is nowhere in sight, oh my Lord. X_____x Jumps off the nearest roof for committing such blasphemy But Fayt is quite cute in his own way so I didn’t mind too much… he’s got nice hair, anyway. And I like drawing nice hair. Hence I drew Fayt in order to feel nice. And I do feel nice. O__o OMG WOW, don’t you just love logic??? ::rofl:: Nice enough to not subject Fayt this time around to the sadistic tendencies which seem to make themselves known whenever I do Star Ocean fan art… damn that puppy dog look. >> (“Don’t HURT me Zen!!” T_T) I put it down to the self-imposed game exile I’m currently suffering through; I’m definitely losing my mean fan art edge. BAH HUMBUG! U__U

TECHNICAL STUFF:The most spontaneous and simplest sketch I’ve done in about a year, so it nearly winded up in scraps… ^^; Since I liked how the colouring turned out though, I gave it a shot in my main gallery. Whew The brushes definitely helped as well – for all Star Ocean 3 players, the diagram brushes were a homage to Fayt’s natural engineering skill, the hex cells a reference to his gene (you all know which gene I’m talking about!) and the feathers for his delightful battle skill, Ethereal Blast. ^^ The binary “code” was just some rapidly typed zeroes and ones… I did try and find some binary code brushes, but then I realized just how lazy-arsed that would’ve been when it ain’t that hard to type two numbers over and over again. Cough O_@ Players who’ve completed the game will know why binary code matters! ;) Personally I know absolutely nothing about the stuff, you’re looking at someone who nearly failed software development class. ^__^;;;;


And that’s all from me folks, I’ve still got an essay to finish so as of now… I RECOMMENCE GOING ABSOLUTELY BANANAS. Foams at the mouth @_@
