Color version of chapter 5's pic.

It has also finally been posted to Side7, along with the other pics done so far. I just have the epilogue left and the first set of pics will be complete!

Chapter 7 of The Diamond Rose Glass is finally done! W00t! And a oneshot of Seph and Zack cuteness almost is done. **needs a title and will probably look it over again later in case there's anything else to add.**

EDIT: And now I'm getting more odd ideas for the proposed zombie fic, based more or less on RPs. Including a Gunju from another dimension popping up who's furious at his Azazel and taking it out on every Azazel. He even fights the main Gunju and defeats him, then poses as the real one to get close to Azazel in order to hurt him. I'm still not sure what his beef is, but his Azazel is working with Koseki and has a beef against Dalton, which is part of the reason why Alter Gunju is mad.

Yeah, what a confusing RP world. LOL.

I also need to draw Koseki. X3 I swear his basic appearance was originally based on The Reader from Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat. XD;;; (Yeah, real guilty pleasure show there. I should have remembered it on the cartoon quiz.)

Koseki is a main villain in the RP with Lisa right now. X3 He just got banged up falling down a tunnel that he was trying to pull Seph and Cloud into, and now he's talking to Hojo, who found him mostly blind and bleeding in the grass. I'm thinking Koseki will end up blind in one eye. What happened was that he was clinging to Seph's leg when he was trying to pull him and Cloud into the tunnel, and Seph kicked him desperately when he was pulling. Seph accidentally shattered Koseki's glasses and they cut him. OW. There's a possibility that Koseki will be scarred from the glass shards, too. I haven't quite decided on that yet.

The flames look a tad overly-simplified and unrealistic. With the realistic, though stylized, style of the characters, they should follow suit and look more realistic! They should sway more and break apart, rather than taking the same basic shape.

Besides the boring fire, everything else is pretty awesome!

Interesting composition and lovely colors. ^^

The character in the back's head looks a tad too small for his body, though~ which is huuuuge! That could be intentional.

The character in the foreground is much more nicely drawn. More proportionate and all. I really like the clothing too, it's very well-drawn~ and hair. ^^

The biggest downpoint is the fire, really.

In short, very VERY good job!

(Are you an artist? How did I never know about this? ;_; )

I really struggle with fire. If you think this is bad, you should see what all my other attempts look like. This is a big step up from those. XD; Maybe someday I'll get it right.

I dunno, I actually think Kala-Ansa looks more disproportionate than Sephiroth. Her legs are driving me batty. Sephiroth isn't really there, either; she's thinking about him as she looks over the feather. He's supposed to be bigger because he's a background figure, looming in her mind. I think I mentioned something about that in the picture's description.

I'm glad you like Kala-Ansa's clothes and hair, though. Clothes are among the most frustrating things to draw.

Aha, perhaps I should try making you a fire-drawing tutorial? ^^;

I know he's not actually there, I just meant his head was too small, inproportionate to the rest of his body, imagined or not. ^^ I could tell.

I didn't see her legs as being that off, honestly. ♥ Too hard on yourself!

Thanks, that's nice of you. ^^ If it's not any trouble, that would be a useful thing to have. It might help other people, too.

[twitchytwitch.livejournal.com]

Certainly~ I could give it a try soon~ but I don't have much time on the computer lately. x3

**nodnod.** Well, whenever you can is fine. ^^

(For the record, I originally had tried showing some of the flames leaping up and away from the main body, but it just wasn't coming out right. XD; So I scrapped that idea.)

[twitchytwitch.livejournal.com]

Thanks~ ^^

(Ah, that would have made it look better, even if they didn't come out exactly right. x3)
