Entry number thirteen in the Inktober challenge of 2018! Today's theme: "Guarded". Even though Final Fantasy VIII is my favorite in the series, I realized I'd never drawn anything related to the installment before. So, I figured I'd fix that by drawing everyone's favorite angsty, teenage sorceress hunter, Squall, during the scene where Quistis tries to get him to open up a bit, to no avail. QUISTIS 👏 DESERVED 👏 BETTER. 👏 Also, GIVE 👏 US 👏 FINAL 👏 FANTASY 👏 VIII 👏 ON 👏 THE 👏 SWITCH. 👏 ArtStation | RedBubble | Instagram | deviantArt | Tumblr

No, Quistis. It’s not surprising.
Trying this again. Why am I reposting this, you may ask? Well, I have just found out that Tumblr now straight up hides posts containing links to DeviantArt among many other sites that artists depend on to give their work exposure from searches (I reblogged a comprehensive list somebody else posted earlier), so unless they already have a strong following that’s sure to reblog their work a lot, you’re shit out of luck if you link to them.
Why Tumblr would do that, especially without warning its userbase about it, when such a large amount of said userbase is made of artists promoting their work, and why they seem to actively punish people for linking to those sites, but without even telling them they’re being punished, I don’t know.
So anyway, here’s my explanation of why Quistis stops wearing her glasses, hope it does better now that I’m not linking it to DA any more. If you want to check out the high-res version, go to DA and search for “Neije”, which is my username there and it should be the first thing that pops up.
And if you liked this and want to support my art, please do reblog it so that it may reach more people, you’d be surprised how well word-of-mouth still works, even on the Internet. And of course, do so with other artists you want to support as well. As you may have guessed, they need it now more than ever.

A lot of people wonder why Quistis doesn’t wear her glasses any more after the SeeD exam and are disappointed by that choice. Well, when you think about it, the reason is pretty obvious (although if they ever give FFVIII the ol' HD remake treatment, I think it'd be pretty badass if she kept them and tipped them down when shooting the lasers). Had a lot of fun making that one. I'm very pleased with how Quistis herself turned out, managed to keep her pretty well on-model with her original design and I think I pulled off the two biggest challenges for me: the perspective on the glasses and the lighting on the lasers (not that I made it super complex or anything but I think it works). Now I want to play around with lights more! And yes, I am aware that modern glasses don't shatter because the lenses aren't made of actual glass so they would either pop right out or the lasers would melt them but my point still stands and I think it makes for a funnier visual.
