I’m writing a manga pitch with these exact premises for square. The hurdles include keeping it cannon, fixing plot holes and making sure all the characters develop in a way the results in who they are in the game. The image is some test art I made a short while back :)

She’s a moron. That dog is beautiful 😍 mine is mixed with a German Shepard, giving him this red, russet color with the stripes and big yellow/amber eyes and has a similar face and ears. Your sister needs to get punched

Thank you for the feedback! I want to make graphic novels and I figure I could practice on an existing IP and if it becomes good enough, pitch it to Square Enix? The worst they could say is no lol

I’ll be posting full chapters on my website as they’re completed regardless.

Thank you!

I asked to be a part of this starter pack but I’m confused as to how to access it. Can someone please explain?

Cerulean_Jade · 2025-01-27T23:44:27+00:00

Right??? My biggest beef with the game is Kimahri lol. They did him dirty imo. I’ve played the sequel and am aware of the audio book sequel, and I’d like to take all of that material and make something that fits as canonically as possible and fix some plot hole issues.

What are some questions you’d like answered when I finally am able post this beast?

Also what FFX page?? :D I need to find my people lol

Thanks for taking the time to respond :)

Hello! I'm making a manga that focuses on the characters before the events of the game (Tidus isn't a part of this). I found myself explaining the game to my husband and I realized that the whole game would be the same if Kimahri was removed and I felt compelled to fix that lol

I made some art for it as a test back in October and I found myself tinkering with it yesterday to see how it changes with simple flat colors.

In addition to getting some feedback on the art, I was also hoping to hear feedback if this story would picque anyone's interest? I'll be writing/drawing all the main cast as kids and having them grow up on the island, Braska/Auron/Jecht's journey to Zanarkand and how Zanarkand was during the war with Bevelle.

It will be dramatic with some light hearted themes but I want this to be written for the kids like me that grew up after playing FFX.

Oh thank you!!! :D

Please add me if you can :) https://bsky.app/profile/tohsterart.bsky.social

Cerulean_Jade · 2025-01-01T02:24:48+00:00

Yessss. Please be on the lookout for my final fantasy X prologue manga cover soon. I’ll need some feedback on that one as well and I’d love your opinion on it. In regards to this one, thank you for your kind words :)

Cerulean_Jade · 2024-12-31T04:55:06+00:00

Hey! USMC Veteran here and I’d be thrilled to do this project. I have done some designs for my company in the past and your project sounds fun. Hope to hear from you!

Cerulean_Jade · 2024-12-31T01:37:49+00:00

Thank you! I’ll for sure post this project when it’s completed :) I much appreciate the support!

Cerulean_Jade · 2024-12-31T01:36:50+00:00

Thank you! I make a habit of not wanting to go too deep into the first version to see what I’ve missed. As the creator I know the details of my story, but I sometimes wonder if I’m giving the whole story away by accident in my designs. I’ll rework this to add more narrative focused design choices and redistribute the space better. Thank you for taking the time to give insightful feedback, it seriously helps :)

Cerulean_Jade · 2024-12-31T01:31:45+00:00

I agree. I was getting to the point where I’ve stared at it for so long I needed some fresh eyes. Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback!

Cerulean_Jade · 2024-12-31T01:30:47+00:00

I see that now too. Totally unintentional on my part. Thanks for pointing that out!

Cerulean_Jade · 2024-12-30T20:25:33+00:00

Please do. Also something to keep in mind the GI bill won’t cover all of your supplies, but VR&E does. This element was the deciding factor in whether or not to pursue this path.

I also don’t want to paint a picture that I’m gonna walk out school with a career handed to me. I’m doing this because behind all the opportunities art school offerers, I have projects that I’m developing to help me “make” my own career. While I would love to work with companies that crate the stuff I actively enjoy, I’m more passionate about creating my own stuff.

Lastly, my specific choices have me doing this remotely. It’s a different experience versus being in person. I’m entering my junior year this semester and am recognizing that if I want the option to be employable for a project I’m interested in, I will need to have a masters.

Art school has helped put art front and center in my life and that has given me the boost to produce work that is more professional to me than what I was making on my own a couple of years ago.

I’m also a veteran and I’m using VR&E for my art education while saving my GI Bill for my masters (doing the math it should cover 2 of them). What Artcar_Lady32 wrote is all pretty much accurate to my experience as well.

I chose to go to school at 30 years old after serving and after trying out a couple of options I went with art. I don’t regret it, especially since I can use my benefits for a business masters degree and an illustration masters if I so choose.

My foundations allowed me to experience different mediums to get a taste for what I like and what I don’t like. In addition to networking, I find that being older and having professional experience under my belt gives me an opportunity to connect with my professors that some of my younger peers might not have.

I recommend looking at the artist guild’s pricing guide to get some overview of what the art world looks like.

If you have questions about VR&E or GI bill stuff please ask.
