FF14 Fanart: G'raha Tia

From Shadowbringers 3.1 update. When I saw his new design I wanted to draw him!

I went trough a bunch of pose ideas, this one being the fourth and final one. white mage, black mage, ideas ideas... It took me a few days before getting a pose I was satisfied with. I needed to draw something calm. Watching Ghibli movie must have helped my brain to find calm ideas.
As you can see I wasn't satisfied with the original background. I tried a bunch of stuff, in the end this one was the one that fitted the most overall.
I also, no matter how much i took reference picture, could not make the arm at the left not feel off, so as you can see, since it's not the center of attention, I preferred not focusing too much on it, had putted already too much into it.

Starting to get the metal stuff down... starting (✿◡‿◡)
