Description This is a drawing done by Mike "Gabe" Krahulik of Penny Arcade ([link] ). The original drawing can be found at: [link]

This is fan-art of Balthier from Final Fantasy XII.

Mike's work really inspired my own comic style, which you can readily see over at PierceLogic ([link] ). As such, I enjoyed every minute I spent working on this as Mike is one of my favorite artists.

I did not draw this, I simply colored it. I did it to practice coloring technique using my Wacom tablet. Roughly four hours total went into the coloration of this piece.

Comments are, as always, welcome!

Nice color. This reminds me did u go to Comic Con?
Penny Arcade was there. I was able to get a free sketch from Gabe (don't know is real name). It was cool I asked him to draw Gabe and Tycho I'll scan it at my DA soon once my damn scanner works.

Can't wait to see it! (If you post it that is)
I didnt get a chance to visit the Comic Con this year - did go to the one in Seattle earlier this year and met them there. Got them to autograph my copy of their first book with a little drawing. I don't live very far from them so I suppose I could always stalk them, but that might be slightly illegal. lol

Thanks, Kenu! I don't do much coloring, but I had so much fun with this one that I think I will probably start doing some more.
