[Art] FFX-2 - Years Fall Away, And We Are Standing Still (Paine/Nooj) (PG13)

Title: Years Fall Away, And We Are Standing Still
Fandom: Final Fantasy X-2
Characters/Pairings: Paine/Nooj
Rating/Warnings: PG-13. Must enjoy boobies. No spoilers.
Crit/Feedback: Always welcome! =D
Notes: Happy Birthday, [livejournal.com profile] owlmoose! I noticed that there was a SEVERE LACK of Paine/Nooj arts, so I thought you might enjoy some! You filled one of my [livejournal.com profile] ff_kissbattle requests and wrote some more Auron/Braska/Jecht-flavoured goodness, so here is my thanks and my congrats =D

A/N: This one went by a lot quicker than usual -- I'm getting better at getting from idea to sketch to decent line art within a reasonable amount of time. This is very encouraging.

I had a TON of fun with ALL THE HAIR. THEY ARE THE CRAZY HAIR COUPLE. You can tell I had a PARTY with Nooj's mega-dread, but honestly, at the top part, I only added like half a switchbakc, and you can't say his hair isn't canonically nearly prehensile or something.

I think I like how their faces turned out; seem pretty on-model to me. I realized (again?) while drawing this that Nooj has a beautiful face, with lovely, fierce, strong structure. (Sidenote: he doesn't look at all effeminite, but that face would look stunningly handsome on a woman, also.)


... And yes. There are boobies. Honestly they were the first thing I drew, because I needed to get Paine's posture right. Except then they distracted me constantly for the rest of the time I was drawing the picture. I am not a ten-year old. I swear.

I can't count switchbacks, I am entirely too busy ADMIRING the AWESOME and being incoherent at Nay. !!!!!

And *yes* the faces, they came out just right, I love how they are looking straight at each other, so intently.

Wow and thank you and you are right, Nooj does have a stunning facial structure, and there are not nearly enough fanarts of it, especially not of him staring into Paine's eyes, so I can only say THANK YOU for this beautiful addition to the genre, a lot and with many capslocks and exclamation points! !!!!!!

Very nice! That hair is a million of win. My only critique for this one is that Paine's boobs aren't quite lined up properly. Based on where her neck and clavicle are, they should be a little more to the left. From where they are, her ribcage looks very tiny.

Still loving this. The intensity in their faces is totally what makes it come off the page. :)
