Artist's Commentary
I recently played Final Fantasy IV for the
first time (THANK YOU, Cecil Dark Knight!) and was
intrigued by the bittersweet relationship between
Cecil and Rydia. They are definitely characters I have
fallen in love with. The drawing itself didn't take me
long at all, because I was on such an inspirational
high! The overall emotional feel of the whole piece is
something I think I did quite nicely ... The simple
holding of the hands, the slight smile on Cecil's
face, and the look of innocence and trust on Rydia's.
They're so different, and yet they fit so well
together. This may be my all-time favorite
illustration that I've done ... Only because the
person I drew it for likes it so much! *winks*
