For Love

Sorry all my L4D watchers, I'll get back to that soon! Took a break~

A drawing done for my boyfriend for his upcoming birthday (nov.17, I'm way early) By request of him months ago: his Final Fantasy XI Online character Yumeara, a mithra, drawn in a Dalmatica. When I say drawn for him I mean he's getting the original and in a frame. Fancy. I'm taking the chance that he won't look at my DeviantArt as I usually have to tell him to look and he doesn't really go on his own so.. I just won't tell him to check out my DA and we're all good.

The attire in this drawing is a dalmatica, second red mage artifact hat (AF2 for all the regs), and tatsumaki sitagoromo (the pants.) In my normal FFXI art fashion I drew based on what things are supposed to look like therefore nothing is exactly how it is supposed to look ingame. The pattern on the dalmatica, front of the red mage hat, and all the jewelry was made up by me with influence and understanding of what it is generally supposed to look like. In my L4D fashion I added battle damage - scrapes, dirt, a bandage, etc, for visual interest.

The japanese text reads (or at least it better read): Yu Me A Ra, Yumeara, his character's name. Makes sense x:
Thank you for the confirmation that it was done correctly, ParaSchiz

The original drawing looks better than the scanned, as usual >:/
