Knights

Its Beatrix from Final Fantasy 9, Saber from Fate/Stay night, and Agrias Oaks from Final Fantasy Tactics.

I... so happy... I love this piece C:

I was inspired to draw this pic after seeing a pic on dA where Saber was fighting Agrias fav.me/d5ne22o ... It also reminded me of Beatrix from FF IX... what do they all have in common?

Female knights and they are Extremely powerful

One challenge was to make these characters flow together as they were drawn in different styles. Saber was easy, Agrias was not as easy (as the character designer in FF tactics drew all the characters practically nose-less ) and Beatrix was the most difficult. in FF IX, the characters were rendered semi-chibi, there was only one instance where Beatrix had an FMV (a fully rendered cutscene), but it was short. Without an artbook of FFIX (which I only got after I drew and rendered her) it was hard to get details from the field models from that game.

I liked how I did the armor on these women... especially Agrias' armor. I experimented with drawing battle damage and nicks on Saber's armor. I saw my mistakes and did a better job with Agrias' armor., ie the kinks are more... practical and convincing I think..... in agrias' armor, I even tried to add bullet divots from musket rounds...

The hair... Curse that Beatrix for having bouncy hair ! but I believe it was the most successful of the three..

and now the background... I am so sorry ! the background doesn't fit with the theme I think I just got carried away drawing a landscape but then again, the background was literately built around these characters ( if you remove the characters, the background has some ugly gaps and stuff there)


Beatrix and Agrias belong to Square enix, Saber from Type moon,
