Do you have a Michael's arts and crafts store in your area? They sell watercolor markers for WAY cheaper. I also have those, and they're pretty decent.
Yes, copic markers are expensive. Luckily, I get a discount at the university bookstore since I am alumni. If you want, I could work something out and get you the markers for cheaper.
Oops, I just realized I had this window open the entire time I was working on fanfiction.net. Ha! Someone actually reviewed one of my stories. I'm excited! I thought I'd be writing PSII fanfic to myself and the wind.
I didn't either. And the sword is just cartoonish. I of course wish Vincent had a bigger role. I'm not a fan of button-mashing games, the subsequent VII spinoffs are a let-down. They have some great scenes, but the gameplay... Bleh.
