FFXIII OC - Akai

I had an awesomely epic dream of FFXIII! This was when I only played the intro and that's it. The music in my dream were really from the XIII soundtrack which was very cool.

--->It was during the Purge of Bodhum, I was on the train heading to Gran Pulse. I didn't know why I was there or why was it a reason for us to go to this "Hell". There was a girl(*1) that explained to me about the Fal'Cie, L'Cie and the Purge like a tutorial in an average video game. The train stopped. The Purgees and I were being rescued by a group called NORA. They started to enlist some volunteers to help them against PSICOM. I didn't want any business with them and went to find my own route to escape. I had gone to the opposite direction to a different pathway were it lead to a crashed train site. It was best for my to resist conflictation with the soldiers of PSICOM so I will be able to survive on my own. I did managed to knock a solider out and gained possession their gun. When they had a Pantheron, I was forced into a battle. After the fight, an explosion erupted and the screams of people falling had startled me. This is when I let my guard down and a Manasvin Warmech ambushed me into a battle. Somehow I believed it was my friend Shijei's fault. The machina caused me to fall off the railway. Some cargo ship had broke my fall but it still had hurt.


--->Then my dream faded off to the high society courts of Palumpolum. I no longer had the gun that I stole before but I had two short swords sorta like Taki from Soul Calibur (I'M A NINJA BABY~!). There were many guards around and I had to sneak around them to avoid unnecessary battles. My camera view was over head as I can see the guards patrolling the place like a Metal Gear Solid Game. Then I had noticed that my clothing was like my friend LilKenKun's Medieval Design Costumes he had made for our friends and myself. The picture(*2) showed on the screen as if I was looking at it directly. Then It switched back to the overhead view. I knocked on to the wall to attract the guards to the area. Since they were distracted I sneaked around and got to the next area. It was an open garden park but an Ushumgal Subjugator arrived to the scene. It was time for me to fight. First off I started with a heavy offensive by summoning my Eidolon, Gilgamesh(*3). He talked a lot like the Final Fantasy XII Gilgamesh by saying like "You have to face ME! GILGAMESH!". I remembered having Enkidu with me. That's how my dream ended.


*1-After I woke up I realized that girl was Vanille. XD
*2-Here is my alt dream-self that is based on my friend 's design of our friends in a Medieval Fantasy (I'm on the far right). [link] And this was kinda my hair style when I had that dream.
*3- I had this dream at fall of last year before I had any interest in Final Fantasy XIII.


Also I was trying a new shading technique which I really liked! That's why the drawing style isn't so serious. I hope you like!


This pic was made Feb 2012. And this is the outfit Planning. [link]
