Oktoberfest '10: The Language of Flowers, by Kaze

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Title: The Language of Flowers
Author: Kaze
Beta: Nyet
Word Count: ART PACKET sort of
Rating: Horrid /sob
Character(s): Anise, Yomi, Manfred von Karma, Sora and Friend
Pairing(s): None
Summary: I got ambitious this year and decided to try my hand at art. It was...kind of fail, but I tried. These are the sketches. I'll be finishing up the color later since I...had no time to do it during the deadline. /sob

Also, each flower is labeled under the picture along with the meaning in hanakotoba (Japanese flower language) or Victorian flower language.
Notes: I am so late. orz And the images are kind of huge, so open only if you can risk it on your computers.



Anise; Kingcup/Buttercup: Cheerfulness, childishness, desire for riches
[Link for those who can't see the image]


Yomi; Snapdragons: Gracious lady, deception
[Link for those who can't see the image]


Manfred von Karma; Orange Lily/Tiger Lily: Hatred, revenge, death to the recipient
[Link for those who can't see the image]

And finally, Sora with his new best friend. The aquila. Who he can ride into the sunset using the bulletin board notices overflowing with the light of his heart as bait. This...has nothing to do with the theme.

Sorry they're so late, and keep an eye here or to the cafe for when I upload the colored versions!

SCREAM THOSE ARE GORGEOUS. ;3; Yomi's hair is so pretty and I love von Karma's expression, and the flowers look beautifully delicate. ♥ And yeah. Sora is just that adorable. In short, WHY DON'T YOU POST ART MORE OFTEN.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

BECAUSE IT TAKES ME LIKE...FOREVER JUST TO SKETCH SOMETHING. /sob

But thank you. ; ; I'm glad you like them.

Holy crap, we have the most talented bunch of artists in any game ever. These are gorgeous, especially Yomi!

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed them. c:

LAUGHING SO HARD AT SORA AND HIS BFF THE AQUILA

but seriously this is really cool and pretty :O;; how can you call this kind of fail?!

[notachick.livejournal.com]

BLAME. COURT. Or, well, not really, but she had a plurk about the light from his heart or something and...Aquila bait.

e___e It's fail because I didn't get them colored on time.

Oh my god, Kaze... these are all beautiful! *___* Anise is adorable, as always, and Yomi especially looks very lovely... I could see her sketch there being used as part of a stained glass design. <33333 I also love how you integrated the lilies into where von Karma's cravat would be, and his expression there is captured very well, too. :3

And LOL, Sora and the aquila! :D I especially love the detail in the creature's feathers. <3

(Also, now I'm going to have to look up flower language because this is a fascinating concept! :D )

Very well done, Kaze! <3 Really, I see no fail in any of these drawings, but LOTS of awesome. *___*

;_; I'm glad you liked them! von Karma doesn't get enough art. ; ; I was hoping you'd like it.

And LOL yeah, the feathers were a pain. D: I did....like a million sketches just of the bird. orz

Please do! Flower language is amazing and really enriches certain flower arrangements you see at stores.

; ; And thank you again. I only wish I'd been able to color in time.

[gald_digger]

Aaah, these are so pretty! ♥ Anise looks adorable... but maybe I'm biased.


... and rofl sora.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Anise...was too perfect. ;w; I wanted a happy picture and she's...so happy. And cute. >w<

Sora be hangin' wit' his new bff yo.

[gald_digger]

Ahh, you captured her cheerfulness perfectly in that picture, too. ♥ ♥

[notachick.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think so! I've never drawn her before so I was worried I'd mess up. e_e;

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I'm so flattered that you drew a character of mine, even if he's riding that aquila like it's a chocobo, fdjakfda. And Sora doesn't even know what chocobos are, but this makes sense in my head, okay.

For all the trouble that Sora's hair gave you, it turned out really well in the end. I'm really impressed by the detail that you did on the bird itself, though. Nice job, seriously!

The rest of the drawings are amazing too, and I really like the flower concept too. :3

[notachick.livejournal.com]

He is totally riding it like a chocobo. He is a Squeenix boy. It is inherent in his soul.

And I ended up changing the angle until I found an easier one to draw. orz As for the bird, that was...the easy part. lololol /shot

I'm glad you like it though and thank you!

[doctorbadtouch.livejournal.com]

SCREAM I like your art style. *A* THESE ARE GREAT.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

;w; Thank you♥

[blind-nights.livejournal.com]

WHAT IS THIS.

sdklfjd;fglkfgf Yomi. *__* I nearly crapped myself when I read she was part of this. THEY'RE ALL SO GORGEOUS IDEK. And colored versions? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Brain is going to explode.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

She's pretty. ; ;

I hope I can do the color well! I'm terrified of messing it up. D8

[blind-nights.livejournal.com]

Being her player, I feel a strange sense of pressure and maternal flattery or something, LOL. ♥ You're art makes her look even prettier. I like the flow they all have going on; the flowers fit in so naturally.

I DOUBT ANYONE'D NOTICE ANYWAY, THEY'RE ALREADY AWESOME.

[itneverwas.livejournal.com]

LATE FOREVER but oh wow these look great *___* These linearts look so clean and awesome! I love the Yomi one especially <3
