Celes has always been my favorite character in all the Final Fantasies to draw. She is not my favorite character in the game, but she's an absolute joy to draw -- especially since I have her clothing design to memory after studying all of the various designs in the Amano Yoshitaka drawings. I wanted to portray a sense of movement in this piece -- though I'm not so sure if I succeeded or not.
One of my favorite things about creating a picture of Celes is coloring her hair. In all of my current drawings of her, I have decided to put pink highlights in her hair. Why? I'm not sure. Perhaps I saw it that way in one of Amano's drawings, whether he did that intentionally or not. Whatever the case, I feel that it adds a little depth, perhaps a hinting that she was never quite a normal human being.
