How to draw Ramza in five easy steps 💫
Step 1: do the rough sketch
Steps 2-5: draw the rest of the excommunicated heretic
Process breakdown of the quoted post. Five stages of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles’ Ramza Beoulve. Starting with the rough sketch on the left, followed by a rough tie-down, the cleaned line art in the middle, flat cel shading next, and the lighting and texture FX on the far right.

#FFIX #FF9
An illustration depicting the first four playable main characters of Final Fantasy IX. From top left: Garnet Til Alexandria XVII aka Dagger, Zidane Tribal, Vivi Ornitier, and Adelbert Steiner. Artwork of the scene in Final Fantasy 9 when the unawakened Black Mages gather to protect Vivi from Black Waltz 3 aboard the cargo ship. The style of the illustration emulates the style of an anime screenshot, with subtitles that read “Are you protecting him? Nonsense. You are no different from mindless dolls! What can you do?” The mages are designed after classic mages from the series: one resembling Tellah from FFIV, and the other as the iconic FF1 Black Wizard. The third remains an FF9 design. Black Waltz 3 looms in the foreground with his back to the camera, and his rod teeming with lightning, while the other mages below prepare fireball spells in their hands. Vivi is in the back, petrified. Character illustration of Vivi Ornitier’s trance form, using many elements inspired by the original Amano concept art. Character artwork of Vivi Ornitier from FFIX, tugging his straw hat over his face.

rounding off the party is Azekkus Ozark—better known as the Grey Devil ‘round these parts. Every party needs a pious edgelord vigilante, amirite? *cracks whip* 🤺
😅
#DnDart
Dungeons & Dragons character design of Azekkus Ozark. A warrior covered from head to toe in ashes, donning a featureless mask save short devil horns, obscuring his entire face. He is covered in pouches and an assortment of weapons. His shield reads Lesismor, a misunderstanding of the idiom ‘less is more’.

ah yes, Oberic; or King Oberic of Jaunthy the XIII—if ya nasty. Human Fighter™️, and something of an orc otaku… an orctaku, if you will 🤓
(and we can’t forget the MVP Obi Jr 🐷)
#DnDart
Dungeons & Dragons character design of King Oberic. A human fighter, wearing tattered peasant garb, wiping his chin from spilled wine. His weapons are rusty, but his skills are sharp. Next to him is Obi Jr, an orange baby boar glowing with electric blue energy.

Gemini Garnett—a natural on open waters, still doesn’t have her land-legs yet 🐚
#DnDart
Dungeons & Dragons character design of Gemini Garnett, a water genasi cleric. She has seafoam green skin, a teal slicked back pompadour, and is wearing an oversized sea-captain’s coat; she wields a ship’s anchor as a warhammer. She’s curiously holding up an opalescent seashell.

With only 5 days left to pre-order, now seems like a good time to mention that I somehow slammed down an entire second illustration, in a completely different art style than you’re used to seeing from me 👹

Do you wanna own a copy + support a ton of artists?

A preview of an illustration for Solaris; the upcoming Final Fantasy gentlemen zine. The image depicts Cloud Strife from FF7, sitting hunched with his arms crossed and a dour expression on his face. The rest of the frame reveals portions of a sleeping Cid Highwind snoozing on Cloud’s shoulder, and the sky eye of Vincent Valentine smizing alluringly towards Cloud. There are indications of a suit and tie, and possibly Barret Wallace’s vest buckle. They are all scrunched together very tightly—where could they possibly be?

At long last, I’m able to share a teensy-weensy preview of my absolutely insane two-page spread I toiled over for @ffgentszine.bsky.social 😳
I promised you daddies, and I drew like, SO MANY canonical fathers 😎👉🏽👉🏽

There are only FIVE DAYS left to preorder 🚀 ffgentszine.bigcartel.com

#FinalFantasy
A preview of an illustration for the forthcoming Final Fantasy gentlemen zine: Solaris. The preview depicts Cidolfus Telamon from FF16 and Cid Highwind lighting each other’s cigarette and cigar with lightning magic and a stick of dynamite, respectively. There are hints of explosions and airships poking through the frame against a rose-coloured sky behind them. Clues of other notable Cids from the Final Fantasy franchise are apparent as well.

WELL FF FANDOM I promised you daddies, and boy did I deliv—I’m being told this isn’t actually suitable for a preview and that I should show you a little bit more… 😅🫦
A preview of an illustration for Solaris: the forthcoming Final Fantasy Gentlemen Zine featuring artwork, cosplays, short stories, and so much merch like stickers, acrylic charms, trading cards, and so much more! This apparent preview depicts the pectoral region of FFXVI’s Cid Telamon, as well as his lower jaw—revealing just enough to indicate a rather sultry cigar-wielding smirk 😏

What a perfectly good day to share this very old drawing of Ramza for no particular reason. Maybe I should give it a ✨remaster✨ 😇

Characters artwork of Ramza Beoulve from Final Fantasy Tactics wearing his iconic—and badass—purple spiked platemail mercenary armour. He’s in a leaping pose and wielding a broadsword in one hand. Behind him is a faint outline of the classic FF Tactics logo.

LORGE NUMBER!! Congrats, Bay! 🎉 stoked to be along for that growth 🙌🏽 thanks for the artshare 💫

I’m André: by day, I’m an animator on some CN and Nick cartoons—and by night… I’m also usually doing that too 👹
I periodically escape into a pocket dimension to draw FF and D&D art! ⚔️

A composite illustration of the first four playable party members of Final Fantasy IX. They’re all floating in blank negative space, with exaggerated expressions on their faces. In order from left to right: Zidane, Vivi, Steiner, and Garnet/Dagger A composite illustration of the first four playable party members from FFVII. They’re floating in white negative space, and are all very excited in their expression, except for Cloud who is pouting. From left to right: Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and Aerith. An illustration in the style of an anime screen shot. The scene depicts the moment in FFIX when Black Waltz 3 attacks the airship to capture Princess Garnet. Vivi is on the ground, surrounded by three other Black Mages who are guarding him from Black Waltz 3 flying above them and teeming with lightning, taking up much of the foreground. They have their arms raised, conjuring fire spells. Text on the bottom reads “Are you protecting him? Nonsense. You are no different from mindless dolls! What can you do?” An illustration of a dungeons & dragons character standing in the pouring rain. He is a barrel-chested swashbuckler in a long purple overcoat, and has a thick braided red beard with white streaks throughout. His left hand is holding a sword; his right hand is missing, but in its stead is the outline of a magically conjured hand of wind revealed by heavy rain drops

Coming back from a brief social media hiatus cause work was whooping my whole ass—catching up on all your messages and wonderful comments on my art is giving me life 🥹
Maybe the real phoenix downs are the online communities we made along the way? 🫶🏽🐦‍🔥

#FinalFantasy #art
A cartoony illustration of the curly mop-headed goblinoid artist in a dark dungeon environment stylized like a PSone era Final Fantasy battle map (FFVIII to be precise). Despite looking disheveled, marred and bruised, he is stumbling back to his feet with a resolute and mischievously disconcerting grin on his face. He is surrounded by low-polygon magic dust, as he presents a glowing red feather in his right hand. Above him is a blue overlay menu bar with text that reads ‘Phoenix Down to Clown’. He is restored to his maximum health: a pitiful 3 HP.

quick draw what you're wearing, 5 minutes max.
vibrant wardrobe to match my vibrant personality
a quick five (ish) minute art challenge doodle of the artist in all his glory: clenching onto a carafe of coffee for dear life, and wearing his usual all-black home attire consisting of a zip-up hoodie, oversized t-shirt, and yoga pants; accessorized with his absurdly thick winter season socks. he was also wearing his orange glasses at the time of drawing, but he forgot to include them in time. they're a really nice pair tho.

details 🧙🏽🔍

#FinalFantasy #FFIX #FF9
A crop of the above illustration; focusing on the Black Mage designed closest to the official Final Fantasy 9 design. Poses reaching out protectively towards an off-screen Vivi. They’re tall, wearing a tattered purple overcoat that’s loosely stitched together. Their straw hat is also quite tall and roughly assembled, held together by a few strands of string. The wand of Black Waltz 3 is in the foreground, teeming with electricity. A crop of the above illustration. Centred is a stout Black Mage, their design is based on the iconic artwork from the original Final Fantasy; wearing a blue robe and oversized straw hat, and a cowl wrapped around their neck adorned with a crescent moon brooch reminiscent of the mage design from FFIII. Their hands are stretched outwards; one is opened emanating a magical flame, the other is clenched around an Oak staff with a green orb in its pommel. Their belt is adorned with a variety of trinkets and bobbles. They stand defiantly against the threat of Black Waltz 3 looming from above. A crop of the FFIX artwork above, focused around a rotund Black Mage. This mage’s design is based on the Great Sage of Mysidia, Tellah, from Final Fantasy IV, taking inspiration from both his in-game sprite and Yoshitaka Amano’s concept art: His overcoat is vibrant purple and pink, and his trousers are a mixture of striped and patterned, drawing influence from Tellah’s 3D sprite artwork designed by Akira Oguro. His waist is adorned with a green and orange sash, and string of large beads and orbs. Both his hands are raised, conjuring magical fire in anticipation of the oncoming attack from Black Waltz 3.

“Do you dare to fight a Black Waltz?”

#FinalFantasy #FFIX #FF9
Artwork of the iconic scene in Final Fantasy 9 in which the unawakened Black Mages protect Vivi from Black Waltz 3 aboard the cargo airship. Unlike the original game, the mages here are designed based on Black Mages from previous FF games: one based on Tellah, and the other as the original mage from FF1. The third retains the design from FFIX. Vivi is behind the trio wide-eyed and teary. Black Waltz looms above them all in the foreground, teeming with electric lightning energy. The illustration is depicted in the style of an anime screenshot, the subtitles read “Are you protecting him? Nonsense. You are no different from mindless dolls! What can you do?”
