I've tried gimp too, but it was a little too flaky. It's been nearly a year since then, though, so maybe I'll download it again and see if it's improved at all. It would be great if it works out. I really miss the making colored art.

Have you tried Paint Tool SAI or FireAlpaca? Those are two great alternatives that are more straightforward and lightweight than GIMP. I also have a fondness for Autodesk Sketchbook Copic Edition, which is freeware - it simulates real media pretty well, even if you have a limited set of things to fiddle around with.
I actually really like what you're working on right now, though. I think it's very clean and has a strong graphical punch to it!

You could also try MyPaint for colouring. It can't edit or manipulate images like GIMP, but it's a great program if you just want to focus on doing artwork. =)

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Looks like I now have some field research to do.

Spent today sitting on the floor in front of the fireplace with a blanket and my rabbit. This was the result.

Actually - I have a hugeeee Dissidia poster (that features her and the rest of the Cosmos-Team) in the making, but since I lost interest in the fandom some time ago I couldn't finish it =\ But! I still have love for the FF series and this poster is something I've been meaning to do for YEARS (yes, even before Dissidia came out) - so I might get into it...someday, between all school related stuff + ATLA fanarts I wanna do before that ;XD <3
And I'd love to see more FF fanarts from you (if you have any, and any kind of work would be great anyway =D I love your art~ :3 ).

Lol! You should post that picture, even if it's still a work in progress.
And if you're interested, I suppose I can dump some of my FF art here. I have a ton if it. (most of it is silly and ridiculous, since, you know, this is me we're talking about. So be warned.)
