a request by one of my friends to make her into a villain, final fantasy style. The only real restriction in this piece was that I had to use a profile pic she took. That limitation made painting this piece easier, and I had a lot of help and tips on painting by my friend and fellow artist, Stephen Bryant.
As for the piece, I opted to go for the more traditional final fantasy, more medieval than the techno/futuristic final fantasy.
For now this seems like a good point in the painting to complete, but I do plan on adding more to the background, and maybe an accessory or a pet for her.
