Artist's Comments

This is Britain's character, Ethan Tammerlaine, only I've got him completely wrong. For some strange reason I couldn't stop him from looking 12 and like ...oh... just about any random squaresoft character, lol. Many layers of leveling in photoshop have turned his supposedly grey coat into a kind of beige-white, and for some reason my mind never registered the part of the description that said he had curly hair - instead he appears to have bed hair lol - doh! ^^; It was drawn for a contest she was running during March/Feb 2004 on anime RPG forum Gaia.com and unfortunatly I only started this pic a few hours before the deadline. Why didn't I start earlier? I was busy reading her great story about Ethan and Knotte online ^_^
Here's the discription I failed to read on her contest page of what he's supposed to look like

"Ethan: Taller than Knotte, more built. Angelic blond curls and sky blue eyes. He usually wears a nice shirt and slacks under a grey trench coat if it's cold. Looks like Ky Kiske from GGX2 . More likely to smile or get frustrated or show his emotions in any way."

Aww, I really did get it completely wrong ^^;;

wow. that is awesome dear. I just love the innocent look on his face. so cute :D
How old is he btw? Cause I searched for his name and stuff on Yahoo!... Then I found only one link and that was your own website :rofl: [link] . so yeayh i don have any idea who he really is.
anyways. great job on coloring his hair and face, and also his outfit look all so smooth. Don know.. but for strange reason his face look so familiar to me . =P I am :+fav:ing this. i think it's great and it sure deserves a lot more views and comments.

So what if you botched the character? This looks excellent!

I'm sorry, but I have now left DeviantArt. You can still see what's on my profile page if you'd like.

Well the page Britian (character owner) *used* to have that contained his story seems to be down just now. I've tried to hunt it down for you, but I'm not having much luck T_T Britain's new url is here: [link] but it's still underconstruction. Perhaps the story'll be there later though.
The only other way I can think of for you to get ahold of it, is to pm the girl herself on gaia here [link] and ask her about Ethan and the stories.

Thanks for the compliments! And good luck ^_^

he has a strong resemblance to Vaan from Final Fantasy 12. It looks very professional. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it ^__^

*chuckles* yeah, it completely reminds me of Tidus, don't worry about comparing it to squre characters, I think it's glaringly obvious ^^; It's funny, 'cause when I'm actually *trying* to draw squarsoft characters they ofetn end up nothing like ^^;
