: Music that inspired the icons - 2# - Yuel (FFXII-2)

- Yeul (FFXII-2)
"Summer disappears like a dream I had; and winter comes with a knife and it cuts you down. [ Oh it never ends, it never ends ]"

I will never ever be able to recreate that icon, and it's probably one of my favorite icons to date-- just wit the feel, the angle, the little light circle that is very gently wrapped around Yuel, the cloud covering and how the colour blends in seamlessly with Yuel.

Watch on YouTube

This entire icon, the song-- oh the song. This is an icon from another game that I really could not care less about, but I loved the Caius and Yuel side story, and the purpose and how he was trying to save her and how it paralleled Serah and Noel's story in a nutshell, I can't really say anymore then that-- but I think that Yuel's entire story is one of 'not being forgotten' and so the song, it really fits.

Man, I still wish I could recreate this icon.

That icon is incredibly beautiful, and I love the song too. ♥

My favorite part are the flowers in the lower-left and the way that the light almost, but not quite, obscures them.

You know, that is not something I would of normally noticed-- and I had forgotten about the detail-- it was probably on the texture and got carried over in subtle remembrance.

But wow, you are right!

Also thanks for bringing to light something about the icon that I had near forgotten!~

That's a beautiful icon. The contrast in color, the lighting - just the way it feels like a cool rainy day when the sun peeks through the clouds. I'm quite jealous. XD No idea who the character is (never got through even the first game in that trilogy!), but who cares!

Thank you so much! And you know-- with you, I think that I am full of admiration for a lot of things-- like Guardian Angels, oh gosh-- that was a brilliant endeavor--

I mean to be perfectly honest, I still get happy giddy when I realize that one of the people I idolized back during the early RPGamer era, I'm friends with now!

i had never heard this song before! but your icon is so lovely and captures yuel so perfectly, i had to listen and it's awesome. thank you for introducing me to an interesting new group~

(i also love your laguna icon too btw, he's an amazing character.)

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

Thank you so much!

The Pierces are a great group! I was introduced to them through watching "Pretty Little Liars" and then had to search out every single song I could get grabby hands on. And while FFXIII wasn't my favorite game, I will admit that I liked A LOT of the characters in the game!
