Artist's Commentary
One of my favorite scenes in the game was the cut scene with the coin toss
between the Figaro twins. One reason was the wonderful music - the other was
the bonding between the two very different brothers. I'm a sucker for
emotional scenes, and this one instantly made the Figaro twins my favorite
(for the time being).
This, however, has nothing to do with the picture... my rendering of Sabin
started out as a simple figure study of a reclining male figure, and it
gradually resembled him so much that I turned it into Sabin. (That's why his
claw my seem so hastily added.) For Edgar, I wanted to make sure that his
kingly and much more medieval attire contrasted with Sabin's tank and jeans,
which represents the mixed evolution of humankind after the War of the Magi.
Their eyes both look towards the same general direction...perhaps they await
adventure together? I don't answer all questions in my artwork; some things
are better left unknown.
