DeviantArt ha indetto un concorso dedicato a Lightning, la protagonista dei tre Final Fantasy XIII. Delle oltre quattro mila opere inviate, ecco i tre vincitori, selezionati da Tetsuya Nomura in persona, il quale ha anche commentato questi tre lavori.
Davvero splendidi, non c'è che dire, li potete visionare nella galleria qui sotto, mentre vi riportiamo le parole del character designer della serie Final Fantasy e di Kingdom Hearts.
Forbidden Gateway di ArisT0te
At first glance it looks like a CG, and it has a level of quality that makes it look like it was captured as a screenshot. While there were many heroic costumes for Lightning, I was drawn to the femininity of this costume and her hairstyle.
"Wilhelmina" di KarmaLizzard's
With one look I was hooked. The costume itself is sophisticated, and it’s also very well done as an illustration. The background that reminded me of the Japanese flag (Hinomaru) matched well with the piece and was beautiful. As an artist, when I look at different works of art, I think to myself “If it were up to me, I would do it differently,” but that thought didn’t cross my mind once when I saw this picture.
"Lightning - Mythril Scorpion Armor" di randis:
It’s wonderful as an illustration, but in addition to that, the artist drew in both the front and back views, so I felt the artist’s clear intent when they created this piece. The red and blue color scheme was very beautiful, too.
