1 Shelz Keast replies: "Thank you. I agree, chocobo's are the best fantasy birds, I mean what's not to like about a giant yellow chicken?"

Chocobo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, so I'm a FF fan..addict. love the sweet yellow bird.

1 Shelz Keast replies: "Join the club. You know when you're one when even your art teacher notices (ok, so they play the game too) or when you're happy playing old versions of the game. (If you have a copy of every verion of the game, then you are a true fanatic. I haven't got that far yet.)"

OMFG!!!!! (oh my friggin gosh!) i LOOOOOVE your drawing skillz! i wish i could draw like amano can (like you can ;_; ) but the eyes are sooo hard >.<* anyways thnks for reading my blabbering nonsense i <3 your artwork!!!!

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "All comments are apreciated. I find Amano's eyes easiest to do, don't know why. I stdied several drawings before doing this to get the style reasonably accurate- but I did deviate from it a little."

Hehe, chocobo fandom aside, I like the execution in this. Good style and sensible colouring that doesn’t detract any attention away from the crisp lineart. Main thing that catches my eye in this too is the way how you have the banner from the jousting stick? Good flow with that and how it wraps around. The little detail of the bird beside it is a cute touch too. =)

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "I was basing the style on Yo****aka Amano’s and I’d noticed that he put a little bird in several of his character pictures. So I added a little bird of my own, as a sort of tribute."

I must be some kind of first sight blind or something like that, couse I sure did not see the litlle bird until I looked a second time at this drawing! Amazing! I love chocobo! As I may have said before I only have one ff game, but judging from your artwork some creatures appear in more games maybe? I like your style, your a really good artist, I hope to find more ff-art!

:-) Shelz Keast replies: "This picture isn’t really in my style though.
Yeah there are quite a few things that cary through the different FF games. Chocobos (actually plural of chocobo would also be fine as Japanese doesn’t have a plural like English does) are one but others include cactors, tonberries and malbaros and summons like Ifrit, Shiva and Bahamut. Namew will vary a little."
