Artist's Comments
So yeah i finished this one finally, kinda took forever, kinda worked on it for the last 14 hours straight. I hope you guys dig this, i worked a lot on it.
Yeah so if you arent aware, this is my own original character, Arvalis, whom you can find many pictures of in my gallery, done in the art style of Dissidia: Final Fantasy. It was pretty freakin hard to do, especially the lines, but overall i feel i have learned a great deal from it, and the project was worth doing. I would love to see you guys try to do the same thing with one of your original characters.

The amount of time and effort you put into this really shows RJ. The details and the attention to the design of the original art style is perfect. Great freaking work! *here's a cookie* Now with that said.. *steals Arvalis and rapes him in the corner*

Critiques
The armor and details to the costume have been well thoughtout and make working sense, as well as adding depth and reflecting the personality of the character.
The colour palette is consistent and well chosen, although a little desaturated for game art of this type.
In all he wouldn't look out of place featured in the game and the art would blend in nicely with the official artwork.
I think my main critisism would be the gender ambiguity in his face. It looks as though it's just in the eyes or jawline that give him a slightly over feminine look. This is not uncommon in the FF series, but from this image I get the impression that it is a little uncharacteristic
