Fran
Fran from Final Fantasy XII is one of my all-time favourite video game characters - I dont often do fanart, but I just had to pay tribute to the stoic, statuesque Viera sky pirate!
Original design by Akihiko Yoshida for Square Enix.

With a bow as her main weapon, i placed her in an environment reminiscent of the many wooded areas of Ivalice such as Golmore Jungle, The Salikawood and The Feywood.
Here's a more relaxed pose of Fran taking a break on a treasure jar on the Phon coast.
There are many deserts in Final Fantasy XII, giving it an exotic, middle eastern feel which i loved. I had to put fran in a desert here!
The world of Ivalice has many ancient temples and tombs - this environment reflects those - mainly the Stillshrine Of Miriam. Also, my 2nd class for Fran was a Time Battlemage because she looked badass with a crossbow!
During my 90+ hours with FFXII I had loads of pose ideas for Fran. It was very hard choosing my favourite 4 from the 20 or so i made! These are the weapon based poses that didnt make it to the final illustrations.
These are the unused standing / unarmed poses.
