#illy's art

[illyrilex]

Inspired by my current playthrough of Final Fantasy VI (Pixel Remaster). My Ed is so overpowered and broken that he lands the Chainsaw insta-kill on Cactuars 99.9% of the time.

Experimental piece that lowkey killed me. Gotta give props to the very talented artists @seepingfrommyskin and @friends-w-ghosts because I filched some of their respective design choices (like the darker pigmented skin). I tried to stay true to Amano's original fantasy elements while also leaning into some of FFVI's steampunk setting, but Idk if I even pulled that off. Also, a heartfelt apology goes out to Sam Reid. (Iykyk) Anyway, there's, like... a reason I never try to draw dudes seriously.

Mama Tina getting ready to go into battle with her trusty Ultima Weapon. (The details on this killed me and I am dead.) Special shoutout to

@theposearchives for providing an inspiring reference -- again.

King in house clothes with her faithful companion 💕 Shoutout to @adorkastock for the reference pose~ *Idgaf that SNK's social media people decided that the white cat in the old-ass Art of Fighting pic by Eiji Shiroi is Marron; that pic predates the existence of the cat by YEARS. (Also, Marron literally means brown.)

Her majesty, based on a photo of Lucy Lawless. Had to draw it immediately.

Something quick and totally unremarkable: King, asleep in a chair with the lights still on. Special thanks to @adorkastock for the ref!

Beatrix from Final Fantasy IX because she's cool or whatever.

More fun with the new brushes. Also, someone new: pre-Returners Celes, when she was all cold and didn't care about anything. *Special thanks to @theposearchives for providing the awesome ref~
