Artist's Comments

EDIT - reworked the face and the abs since they've been bugging me for the longest time.

There, I feel better now <3.

-----

Another old piece from 2003. This is an edit from the original piece on my site that I reserved for convention prints.

Way back when, there was a halloween contest on the Shinraonline forums. I chose to do a character re-interpretation of FFX's Tidus where I made him all dark/goth-ish like. In the end it looked nothing like him at all by the time I was done LOL.

So, I decided then and there that this would be the original character concept for my story idea called Blacksheep7, where I took the nursery rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and inexplicably turned it into a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story. I came up with it while I was on the can in a Chinese restaurant one evening.

This character's name is tentatively named Tybalt, named for that "prince of cats" in Romeo and Juliet.

Another concept illo from Blacksheep7 could be found here: [link]

Tybalt is an awesome name. Thank you for referencing something that isn't lame.

I'd like to hear the outline for Blacksheep7 some time.

it's like totally freaking cool! I like those "tatoos mirrors" or whatever this is, it's like a string of code shifting behind computer screen Oo.

It's remarkable how a lot of ideas come to us during our potty breaks XD I like the story of how this character was conceived. I never would've guessed it was meant to be Tidus.
