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 😎👉🏽👉🏽

#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.
