++ LADY, EXPLAIN THE LAYOUT!
This was unforunately inspired by the music video for "Move your Feet" by Junior Senior.
To make a long story short, I sometimes get "inspired" by music. This is just a weird product of it. No bases were used for this pixel creation. My image references are the Basch CG render, screenshots of Eastern Dalmasca, Final Fantasy VI's pixel chocobos, FFXII chocobos, and
a screenshot and the mob hunt / mark poster art for Rogue Tomato aka ばぐれトマト. Unforunately nothing seems to resemble the references in my layout.
The thing about "turbo" is that when you "feed" a chocobo one of those radish like things in Final Fantasy XII, they start sprinting. In the English version of the game, they say exactly that. In the Japanese version they have it as "turbo". Since "turbo" sounds niftier than "sprint",
as you can see from my striking out in the layout.
Why Basch on a chocobo giving you the thumbs up? I don't know. It seemed to feel nice at the time. It still does. My parents like this "artwork". It gives Alex GLEE and it makes Nakama feel as if I were a Kindergarten teacher if she didn't know me.
Editing was a pain. My dad suggested that I colored in Basch's mouth black because the red looks like he's wearing lipstick, so I did but it looked like he colored his teeth black like people used to way back in the day. Chocobo legs? not fun. Chocobo bodies? not fun. I probably spent about six hours on just the art for this layout. The coding took a
small fraction of the time.
Lastly, I would like to thank Bobbi for pointing me in the right direction for me as a newbie pixel "artist" (yes, I haven't done any extensive pixel art until this) and helping me when I couldn't think of what to put in next.
++ "HISTORY REPEATING" & "TIME"
"History Repeating" is a title from a song by Matt Dusk. Has absolutely no relation to the lyrics of the song itself apart from a few lines. I just liked the title as it suited Basch's past and whatnot. Anyways, Matt Dusk is a awesome singer. Better than Michael Bublé if you ask me. I missed out on quite a few Matt Dusk concerts in 2006 because, well in June there was Stanley Cup FINALS (sad
thing that my home team lost), and in the fall it was exactly after midterms so I had no time to prepare and buy tickets and find people to go with me blah blha blah. I feel horrible.
The "Time" i'm referring to is the "Time" ( tee-may' ) meaning "honour". The simplest explaination is for instance in Greek literature and the sorts, how Greek "save face" is the ways of arete (exellence), time (honour), and kleos (glory). I thought that "time" suited Basch, as in the soiling of the Ronsenberg family name, dwindling of his career as a Dalmascan knight,
his "rebirth" at the end of the game, therefore it was used.
++ WHERE ARE THE PANT TASSLES?
I have decided to keep the Campaign Against Basch Abuse seperate from the fanlisting mainly to prevent confusion. Great as it sounds to have a fanlisting, but I think that the Campaign should stay separate. It gave me a "out of place" feeling" when I considered merging them together.
