Description Oh hai.

Got this idea when I went to bed last night. Obviously inspired by niqabs, and the thought process went along the lines of, 'What are the defining features of a Black Mage? Oh yeah, the darkened face and eyes. What could I do to bring focus to that? Oh yeah, Arabic culture!', to put it veryloosely.

I'm quite pleased with it.

Now for dinner.

Ok, first of all i have to say that you are the greatest Amano emulator i have ever seen...probably the only one, besides my own failed attempts, but you've got it down...simply amazing, and another thing, this particular black mage concept...is ingenious...i can't get it out of my head, i think it's a real shame that you aren't working for square enix as a concept artist. i LOVE it. LOVE!!! A perfect evolution of the classic black mage isotrope. 
I'm allready creating a city and culture for them in my head. like i said, i truly can't get it out of my head. so thank you for that friend

please keep it up, i'm really, really enjoying this

Ohhhh my goodness, I can't even express my gratitude to your comment as well as I'd like. I'm really honestly so delighted you enjoy these so much. And for the style to be likened to Amano's is just... alkjsdklajdklsajd an incredible feeling.

Thank you so much for your amazing comment. You really made my day! 8D

You are so welcome my friend, and i am truly looking forward to your future posts. Also, now, this is completely up to you, but in my heart i wish that you one day will wake up and feel greatly and inextricably inspired to create more final fantasy work, i would LOVE to see more of how you would interpret and transform with your own ideas the denizens and isotropes of the final fantasy universe...no preassure, hehe

anyway, have a nice day!!! love from norway

Haha don't worry, I'm always getting bits and pieces of ideas to draw, so your wish will probably come true eventually!

Thank you again.

Very cool!  I love that those black robes are hiding so many bright colors and patterns underneath.

omg your final fantasy designs are always sooooo goooooood. I love the idea of the black robes hiding beautiful bright patterns inside. Just like mages man, so unassuming outside but they can melt your face off and look fabulous doing it. <3

This is a major coincidence. Just started playing FFX and it made me go through your gallery just last night. Your Final Fantasy pics are the best on deviantart, and I just got so excited seeing this one!

Looks really good, by the way
