Description I never thought the day would come where I would successfully draw a Final Fantasy character, but it did!

I managed to get a grip on drawing the characters from Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, since they're actually pretty easy. Akihiko Yoshida, I cannot possibly thank you enough!

Anyway, I decided to start off with my favorite 4HOL character. So here we have Krinjh and Ariadne, both looking up at the same moon beneath the night sky, though they are actually miles apart.

I couldn't find a good reference picture for Ariadne (All I had was a blurry snapshot of her in-game sprite), so I tried as best as I can. I don't really think she's sleeveless in the game, but I still think she came out pretty well.

Why does Krinjh look like Edge? And I have a feeling this "moon" has something to do with Lunarians.

Well, as far as Krinjh's character design goes, you can blame that on Akihiko Yoshida. Personally, I've never made any connection between his appearance and Edge's. They're not even the same job class.

As for the moon, it's just symbolizing how they can be near to each other even though they're so far away, in that they both see the same exact moon.

But it seems like someone's quite a fan of FF IV.

i love how you drew them, they look so cute and if she does have sleeves in game i think they were really short and white.

Thank you very much.
Yeah, I found a better picture of her later on. She has those poofy things that only cover her shoulders for sleeves.

Great job on this one I like how it's neatly shaded in. And Krinjh is your favorite? Mine are Brandt and Yunita (individually and as a pairing, lol )

Thanks!

Well, I suppose you could say he's my favorite temporarily playable character. My favorite from the main cast would be Yunita.

You're welcome

I'm thinking that Rolan would be my fave temporary playable character, but then he's really whiny and emo for the most part And high five for having the same favorite character!

Thank you
I'm actually trying to work on shading effects with colored pencils. Glad to know it's getting somewhere.

this is the hardest FF game ever, and i know i played all of them, in order to beat the final boss i had to use a cheat which gave full health to me characters every turn... he killed me once!

I know what you mean. I'm still can't get past his second form, and I'll have to deal with a third even if I do.
Regardless, It's a very cute game with an amusing storyline and lovable characters.

vodkaffee In reply to diskfire [2011-08-11 21:12:22 +0000 UTC]

yes, but is harder than FFI :I
i'm not kidding, the boss killed me in 2 turns using a cheat which gave me full health, and there's people out there that call it an easy game
