:GA: 'Informal Formal Familiars.'

Gift Art for my close friend (that's like a brother to me), DarkDragoonKain. C:

My Facebook memories noted that I drew ( :FFIV: Kain and Porom :GA: ) today last year. Decided to try again because I am hardheaded and wanted to see just how far I've come along. =]

As one can guess, yes: this is mostly RP-themed fanart -- Kain informally adopted Porom (and Palom) in the RPs we were in. C: When Edward and Anna came along to our troupe (I played Anna asdadsdasdsad), they still kept that close-knit bond. I always wondered what it'd be like to RP with that setting. Guess I can definitely dream (or at least make more gift art, hah).

Yes, I still dislike the everso popular romantic pairing of Kain and Porom (and I would dislike even if I didn't have a predisposition towards it -- the fact that The After Years implies that Kain knew Porom when she was a child just... I dunno. It squicks the heck out of me for some reason <-- my opinion, though). x.x Sorry. Shoot me, plz.

Artist Nitpick: Porom's pose on the bottom half is blah. Might redo eventually. I also like (Holy Dragoon) Kain without his headband thingy/hair not in a ponytail, but that's just me too. (Although... Kain in the top art kinda reminds me of Edward Chris von Muir for some reason. x.x Must be the eyes, sigh.)

Wonder what I might do next year? Guess I'll have to wait and see!
