Hi there! I played a long time ago. I don't think I even got past level 20. >.> Then I got busy with real life and had to take a hiatus. I've recently come to this forum as referred by another player, hoping to connect with the FF-fans (FFF?) community and maybe draw their characters if they're willing. I hope to soon be able to return to the game itself, but that hasn't happened as of yet. If I do, I'll add you to my friends list! Or... I'll add whoever I hit off a friendship with.

I -think- I saw the scar :< But not sure if I got the right position. It's an easy adjustment, just let me know. I think you have got it, here is a clearer pic. lol I love the pose. :3

This is a fully coloured 'bust' ($26USD). The person said the wings didn't need to be added, and thus didn't pay for them, so I just put a little 'sketch' of the wings behind the character--who is an avian, so he needs them.

I'm decent.

Ah, hi! Thanks for the reply and welcome. I'm glad to find a fellow FF8-lover. I've found a lot of people who consider it their fave. I think it's underrated. <3 Very much so I still like it a lot more than I did 7. I loooved Advent Children, but I didn't get a chance to finish FF7. I played to the beginning of Disc 2 then lost access to that copy of the game. FF8 was my first FF game back in 1998 or whenever it was, when it was freshly released. I've been a fan ever since. Love the series. Not a fan of a couple but they haven't swayed me enough to stop me from playing. I'm glad for FFXV. It's a work in progress but it has restored my faith.

Thanks very much, keeper of steaks!

Yep, this is my favourite, too! I love that smouldering look. <3

omg don't sweaaaar. ; <3 Thanks for the sponsor. Is that the right word? I feel like it isn't... EDIT: ENDORSEMENT. That is the word I wanted. >.>

Just out of curiosity, any other FF8 fans out there? ^^;

Hi there, I don't have a screenshot of my guy but I have drawn art of him, myself. Would you like to practice him? He's a nice easy human.

Aw, that sucks to get locked out of your server! Are you adjusting nicely to Faerie, at least? I have no idea about either of those servers as I haven't been able to play the game for quite a while. :<

Hopefully I'll be able to get back into FF Online sometime in the future and can RP with you. :thumbsup:

Ah, thanks very much.

Oh, I haven't been able to log into my character for so long, I may not be able to get a screenshot of him.

Oh, I myself have not yet returned to the actual game, but welcome back! Your character is veeery nicely crafted. <3 Thank you! I really wanted to put some effort into him. If/when you come back, poke me sometime I'm really hoping I can some day. I definitely will.

Why, should all roleplay held in public forums, accessible to the majority of the public still be considered as 'private' roleplay? Does the integrity and validity of another roleplayer matter less than your own personal character or.. what? It's quite a shame, because some better examples of amazing roleplay happen when punishment and crime collide. I'm just, a bit.. confused to why it is the norm to treat the Public air/places as still private despite it being public. maybe people just say they want an immersive world.. but not actually want one. I think an RP is always private if it is on a private 'tile' or 'area' (such as a tavern room). I think an RP is private in a public area if only the people involved in the RP are there, but if others show up, the characters already there can choose to have their private moment, or the characters can sort of ease out of it as they were ICly interrupted (as is what happens IRL, sometimes), and either interact with the new character/s, or move on to other things. I don't like being shoved out of RP in a public area, or people getting irritated with me if I post my character's entrance to a public space and they complain about it being a private RP. If you want it to continue to be private, move your characters to a less-public area. Certainly don't abuse me for trying to write with you. >.> And yes, I think it is acceptable for characters to be held accountable by others if their private matters are eavesdropped on. I always check for other people coming into the area before I send my post, if I don't want people seeing it, but if people come in before I post it, then I'll edit it to be discreet and have my character noticing others around. etc. It's all about mutual respect and realism (in a fantastical world, I know). I was in an RP once where most of the people there were in a big battle with each other and NPCed bad guys and monsters, and other people came in and started RPing in the same area like nothing was happening, not acknowledging a thing. In that sense, refusing to acknowledge an RP already happening can make the whole scene seem weird, and the characters RPing the new scene over the already-there battle scene look disjointed from the world, and insular. Not a bad thing, it just doesn't make for cohesive RP. Some people prefer to RP with just a select few and do so, even in public places where something world-sized might be happening, and they just ignore that world event.

Yep, pretty much everything you said there is sensible. The big thing for me is communication. OOCly communication. So many relationships and friendships fizzled out because the other person didn't keep up communication. One person didn't play her character (the girlfriend of mine) for a whole year but was on every single day playing another romantic couple, for that whole year! But she never once had my character's girlfriend write a letter, or talk to me about maybe what they were doing while we weren't actually RPing them. That wasn't a pre-planned romance on my part, but she was pushing hard to get my character to like hers (ICly mostly, with subtle hints OOCly that I can see now as I look back on it), and -eventually-, after months of almost constant interaction between the characters, they got together. Then the stuff above, etc.

Ah yep, see? In this case, you're RPing with your husband, so that would totally work, and it's one hundred percent safe. If I had a significant other who RPed, I might consider pre-arranging at least in PART, but for me personally, without a significant other, I'm completely happy with things unfolding as they will. I don't plan for my characters to fall for the characters of others, so it happens naturally - or it doesn't. :3 That person ignored the fact that you were married? That's pretty bad. >.>

Those chibis are sooo adorable. :love:

Oh, I myself have not yet returned to the actual game, but welcome back! Your character is veeery nicely crafted. <3

Your art is sooo nice. :thumbsup:

Ah, hi! Thanks for the reply and welcome. I'm glad to find a fellow FF8-lover. I've found a lot of people who consider it their fave. I think it's underrated. <3

Ah, thanks very much, Aisha. :3

Well said. There are pros and cons to pre-arranged and developing relationships for different people.

Oh, thanks very much! I'm glad to be here. Thank you also for browsing my work. <3 I will definitely have open slots by the weekend, so if you do want to order something, by all means post in that thread when you're ready (or send a PM if you prefer)! :3
