Sabin Rene Figaro, the Monk from Final Fantasy VI

To see the artworks in their full size, just click on them!

Why did you choose Sabin?
I like “monk” characters, in fiction and in real life. I choose him because of his interesting back story, a real warrior and being loyal at the same time. Sabin is a complete opposite of his brother.

What do you like about him and about FFVI?
Seeing him trashing a phantom train is awesome enough.

FFV Iis one of the most satisfying games of the Final Fantasy series!

What tools did you use for the artwork?
I draw the line art in SAi, and fully painted him including the background in Photoshop.

Please describe your take on him
I made different sketches and poses without reference, so it’s very challenging and hard. I don’t want the same standing poses, so I draw him in a fighting stance.

Is there something else you want to tell the visitors of the Final Fantasy Art Tribute on GA-HQ?

Enjoy all the art. Yoshitaka Amano is one of the great artists and concept illustrators, and interpreting his work was fun and challenging.

What do you like about him and about FFVI?
He Suplex’d a freaking train! i mean you start the fight thinking, no way can this blitz work properly and then just laugh at it’s awesomeness, he’s a very do whats right jump in character, right from the going in after Ultros as he tried to escape, ff6 just has so many great lines and moments that make it stand out in the FF series.

What tools did you use for the artwork?
Tools i used, photoshop CS6, i had trouble thinking, how can i paint a suplex, of a train and keep focus on him as a character with such a large item in the shot, so i played with the balance of both quite a bit and studied some wrestling suplex pictures, to get the right angle.

Please describe your take on him
I wanted to emphasis on the Phantom part in the painting, from an artistic point, i think haunting, i think purples and blues, glowing gives a sense of dream likeness, a challenge was, how do i show someone lifting a Ghost train in a more real looking fashion as possible, so i painted like it’s a photo taken from a witness,

It was fun to paint, redesigning pixel works into your own take on them is always interesting to see what you come up with as you start things just begin to click and fit into what you want to happen. after i finish a painting a merge it flat and play with perspective resizing, a little more slanted on one part can alter the horizon and really give more of a kick.
