"Cecil in Dissidia costume" by Kame

Was trying to go for the look Cecil as he appears in Dissidia more than I was of FFIV (any version). I think I got pretty close.

In a lot of ways, this was an experiment. Awhile back I bought some metallic watercolor paints. I had yet to crack them open and play. Cecil in a lot of ways has a lot of 'metallic' colors to him. I always imagined his hair having an unearthly sheen. The actual implementation was okay, just not the scanning process. Pigments become 'choppy' and as a result don't look the same as they are in real life. Oh well, you live and learn.

tesco Hmm, It's actually not bad. I'd only have to say the flaw to it is his skin color. In Dissida he seems so pale and white, compared to everyone else. Otherwise good work

Everyone knows you have to be of atleast some sort of European descent to be that white. >_>

But really, his skin color on the drawing may not be bright unlike the Dissidia version, but on the original SNES sprites, he had fairly brown skin. For some reason just don't like the arms position too much. His legs are too short.

Feel free to look at the photo of the model I used for reference. It's posted on my deviantART submission commentary. Sometimes I'll use models when I'm browsing through them and they just 'strike' me as a certain character. Like that guy I saw him and I thought, "Hey, that looks like Cecil as he's in Dissidia".

Sephiroth I really like your style Kame. Good work on this one. The detail in his outfit is really nice. The complection isn't a big deal to me. I wouldn't even worry about it. Well done.
