I have been adoring and recommending Undocumented Features to everyone I could get my hands on since 1998 ("no, see, it's *awesome*, and then there's Bubblegum *Crisis*, and did I mention Fuu's from *Funkotron*, and, and, and...") and so it occurred to me one day that it might be an idea to join the forums.I also wanted to make something for the Symphony of the Sword (given that, left to myself, most of *my* stories want to grow up to be it). Originally, I wanted to make a music video for the Second Symphony to the unplugged version of "Yuzurenai Negai," but this ran into a few problems, such as:
-1- I don't actually know how to make music videos.
-2- I don't have any footage that could be used for Nall.
-3- I'm fairly sure I *could* GIMP Uu'my's ears and turn people into Corwin, but doing it for every frame applicable would probably get rather old rather fast.
(I still think SKU footage on "Dashikirenai jitsuryoku wa dare no sei?" would be insanely appropriate, though, as would starting the thing with Anthy walking out.)
So instead, I made a picture of Azalynn.
The face, body, and background are from a screenshot of Kaolla Su I had around on my computer; the haircolors were picked from Kaolla's sister; the guitar started life as Azalynn's reference guitar and still doesn't quite look like it fits with the rest of the picture (argh!); and I eyeballed the hands.
