One of my original characters, named Alexus Gehn, in a Final Fantasy X setting, depicted as the fayth of his Aeon, Leonidas. Leonidas is somewhere between a lion, a sabertooth, and an archaeopteryx, but while I have some images of him, I don't have anything terribly concrete that I'm all that happy with.
Absolutely gorgeous line art. I am in awe.^^ Your eye for detail is excellent (for instance on the sash around his waist), and the wings are really well-done.^_^ Or wait...*stares harder* is that only one wing? If so, it looks rather like he's in mid-transformation, and that's done very elegantly.^_^ Great pic!^^
Was he the actual inspiration?
