[Daily Doodle] FFVI - Calm Before... (Cyan) (G)

@ff_press: [FFVI] justira: Calm Before... (Cyan) (G)

Daily Doodle: Guys, I like this one enough that I not only gave it a NAME but I am also posting a CLOSE-UP of my favourite part as the preview.

HO HO.

It's still totally a doodle and very rough, but I actually really like how his face especially came out. I seem to be kicking off another potential theme week -- something about underloved characters or old dudes or something. I was looking at various katana-related pose refs and there were plenty with more movement but this pose caught my eye -- I felt like it could fit Cyan, in a moment of just calm determination. I really like Cyan, and I wanted to show him... ready but still.

I still can't draw katanas (or weapons in general) for balls, though.

Anyway, my favourite part is definitely his face. I made up his armour (I am told this is just what one DOES with older, Amano-only FFs). And um. That's that? Crit's always welcome, I promise I'm working on my replies!
Time: lost track -- 1 hour maybe? less, I think. Call it 45 mins.

I love that nose! :O

Thanks! I love trying for distinctive, less hand-wavy noses. Part of the reason I'm so proud of his face here =D

Cyan!

I think you captured "ready but still" very well. He looks so intense and just, well, ready for anything.

Awesome, thank you! I have a definite soft spot for the older dudes in FF games it seems XD
