Hory clap I finally posted something new! And it's Tales of the Abyss fan art! Shock! :faint:

This was done based off of the skits as seen in the games. Done 100% from scratch since, as fans of TotA already know, Jade and Dist were never shown as having skit faces when kids. (Heck, Dist never got a skit face at all!)

These are going to be used as images for the Keterburg fanfics Neon Mouko and I are writing. You can see them on her DA page if you click here. http://neonmouko.deviantart.com (Yes, I'm plugging our stories again in my art! Have you missed it?) They can also be found on Neon's FF.net page, which can be found here. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/45935/ I also tend to update my LJ when new stories come out. (And I think I'm done plugging now.)

I've tried out some different techniques with these sprites, including a different way to render eyelashes. The manga for Trinity Blood's influenced me, I swear! I think you'll be able to guess exactly what I mean if you look closely. (Hint: it's got nothing to do with the fact that this sprite is animated.) Let me know what you think and if y'all think I should try doing other expressions for these two as well. (I'm already working on Peony and Nephry next. Can't finish the Keterburg foursome without them!)

If this description seems familiar to you, that's probably because I used virtually the same one for its "sibling" sprite. I figured it was appropriate for posting this delightful pair. ;3
