Feature 174--bee-yu

Ocean inside my head

Oof, I feel this one. Being pulled underwater, so one can only struggle against too many arms holding them under, running out of breath. Running out of time...
Didn't Bee-yu do a lovely job showing the edge of the water on the character's face? Showing us how hopeless fighting against all of this is? This is why someone else; having the courage to reach into the water and grabbing the trapped person, fighting against the thoughts and strength keeping us down; can never be thanked well enough for the rescue. Because that's exactly what it truly is...


Sad elf with roses

This poor lady! Was she left at the wedding altar? That dress sure looks like it...so she's stuck there, still holding the flowers that she had to carry up the path, poor thing.
Also, look at how beautiful her hair is! It almost looks like you could run your fingers through it, if the elf would allow. And doesn't the see through sleeves fit perfectly with the way this dress was designed? I love it! That white dress is also catching so much color, it's so gorgeous.
Excellent work!

Etiennie, the knight

Look at all the blood on this armor...may none of it be the soldier's! What kind of battle is Etiennie still in the middle of? I put my money on the fight not being done because what other than the foe would be getting that look in this moment's breath?
I absolutely love how the sun is shining on the armor, as if the clouds all around are just starting to crack. And just look at how the cloak seems like it's almost as heavy as the blade at the moment. May Etiennie catch breath in time to crack the enemy into many pieces!

Weren't these three pieces amazing? If you'd like to see more of bee-yu's work, you'll find the gallery here. Check everything out!

Feature 145--Azurelly

Of light, harmony, and gallantry

This is a re-painting of a stained glass piece that Azurelly has done before. Personally, I like the eyes open version that she's done right here, full respect to the original one.
Isn't the design of the 'plate' just perfect? It shows all of the colors like stained glass would have, just look at the sun and sunlight behind the warrior, and I can almost 'feel' the texture on this as I look at it. Love his cloak and the flowers on the sides here, too. Great work!

Dancing in the dark

The wedding dance that happens in Final Fantasy 4. Could the sky have been painted any better? That moon is perfect and the colors all surrounding the two help the eyes to just go straight back to the couple. And just look at the design of the floor they're dancing on!
Love how beautiful this came out. Excellent piece!


A Healing Soul

Oof, poor Cecil in this piece, he really needs that healing being granted to him. Rosa was just something else in this game, being able to hold him together like she was able!
Cecil really does look like he fell apart here, doesn't he? Sword and most of his armor in the dark, behind his back. Fitting for what he is, what he would love to pull away from. The purple in this piece seems to be perfect with Rosa helping to bring it into a much healthier pink shade around herself and Cecil.

These three pieces were just the tip of the iceberg! If you'd like to see more of her work, this link goes to Azurelly's gallery. Don't forget to check out her folders along the top!
