The Wedding of Yuna ~ (Final Fantasy X) A reworking of Franz Xaver Winterhalter’s masterpiece portrait of Queen Victoria on her wedding day to Prince Albert in 1840. One of the most difficult but rewarding pieces I’ve done to date is this one of Yuna, how I picture she’d look on the heartfelt wedding day of her choice to the one she loves. I’ll give you an interesting fact about this portrait: it’s mostly men who buy it. They always say how much they love Yuna being portrayed in a classy, elegant, utterly sophisticated way... ...basically exactly the opposite of FFX-2 which everyone seems to try to forget. Ehehehe... This piece was, for a long time, the record-holder for amount of hours spent strictly due to the enormous pearl necklace Queen Victoria had on. Removing it and re-painting the entire neck/decolletage area with a mouse to fit in with Winterhalter’s pre-existing paint job was no small feat. I walked away from this piece for a good 2+ weeks before coming back and deciding it was done. I hate when that happens! :P + HQ art prints available through my Etsy shop + More info & art in my DeviantArt gallery
