FINALLY THIS DAMNED THING IS DONE.
And just in time for AX.

This by far has got to be the most detail-intensive illustration I've done. The foreshortening on the arms and the design on the swords were the most difficult parts of the image.

Those of you who popped by the livestream sessions know just how much I OCD'ed on them.

The fact that there weren't any good refs of the weapons Noctis used didn't help, but at least I got to improvise a little using shape tools.

I'm happy how this turned out.

Though I'm not a fan of the Final Fantasy series, but this piece really gives a whole new meaning to the Final Fantasy saga. The one thing that caught my attention when I saw this was the whole thing. Apart from the fact that this took her a lot of time and effort to get to this result really proves that she knows exactly what she's doing (no doubt about it).

Another good thing about this piece is the weapons itself. Though she couldn't find any actual weapon references and had to improvise using shape tools, overall the weapons turned out to be more innovative and creative simultaneously.

Again, goes back to what I said earlier: she knows exactly what she is doing.

I luuuurve the final outcome, Jess, you really got a level up doing this kind of illustrations! nice job on the swords and ornamental-sky, and of course the always sweet thick brush strokes on rocks and character's legs. :D

contrasts are much better with the coloring here! Am not familiar with the game at all, but I love the sword.

Your sense of details destroys my brain.
The pose is very nice the whole pic is very energetic (if that's good english).
