justira: Dark Knight Gabranth (G)
Daily Doodle: Of course he's a Dark Knight. Of course.
So.
The thing is, Tactics style is apparently fabulous for displaying shapely male posterior (hint: bottom left). And APPARENTLY I now have some kind of Noah FETISH (courtesy ofchaosraven NO DOUBT) and got it into my head at some point, or maybe renay gave me the idea, to thus showcase Noah. We never see his ass, but I am willing to bet it is pretty damn fine. His calves came out pretty well turned, too.
The design is meant to be more or less in the spirit of previous job class porn entries. The design is obviously taken from Gabranth's armour, with simplification inspiration (and ideas for how to simplify Noah's face) from the Revenant Wings Gabranth art. Modified to look a little closer to the standard War of the Lions Dark Knight — the... things... on Noah's legs (tassets? cuisses? what the hell are they?) were transformed into the flary tassets of the male Dark Knight (though I kept a simplified version of the design from Gabranth's). The ridiculous crowny things on his poleyns are now the (embroidered) boot cuffs of the female Knight. (I have something of a habit of borrowing from both genders' outfits indiscriminately, though I apparently particularly enjoy putting little touches from lady costumes on the gentlemen.) I tried to work in bitty spikes on his pauldrons (quite bitty).
I had the damnedest time trying to get any kind of resemblance in the Tactics style — the faces consist of a generic-across-characters eye style, NO nose, and minimal mouth. What the hell am I supposed to do with that? Ah, I tried. He rather resembles a Beoulve, though — I smell an AU.
This did turn out more than a little busy without the colours I was too lazy to apply — those would have delineated the shapes and muted the lines. But overall, quite fun, definitely going in the queue to clean up and colour someday.
Time: 1.5ish hours, not counting the time I spent staring off into space.

Oh, and hello! I'm new here. :)

Sorry about the images -- my web host decided to delete my subdomain and move everything to a different one, so all my images are broken until I can go and enter the new url for each one. Manually. Haha.
But thank you for letting me know you'd like to see this doodle! I fixed this particular one =)
Non-broken (and generally some of my less sketchy) art can be found over on my AO3 account, if you'd like!

Gabranth is my favorite character, and my friends independently associated me with him. Haha! I also share his name (well, my nickname), as you can see. :)
I've been playing FF Tactice: War of the Lions lately, so I'm so excited to see this. I just wish that he really had been there, though. :P
Good job on this one! The only way I could find a Gabranth cuter than the one in FFXII is in Tactics. XD
