Artist's commentary
Xande: Behold Darkness
~TheFavs gave me the idea to draw this character - another big Final Fantasy character that no one really has paid attention much to.
I guess I have this guy to thank for being able to meet my fiancee, the Cloud of Darkness. LOL!!! Psychotic
In the story, his death brought forth an imbalance in light and darkness, which in turn awakened the Cloud of Darkness. - So I decided to draw him with the "Darkness" swirling around behind him as if growing out and well, he isn't that dead here in this drawing, haha! Laughing
And oh yeah, I wonder who that creature is coming out of the black vortex --- do those tentacles give you a hint? LOL!!! :D (Big Grin)
Again, I wanted this to look like one of Yoshitaka Amano's works - so I made it look a bit sketchy and somewhat a bit messy. :D (Big Grin)
LOL!!! Had fun drawing this. :D (Big Grin)
