Ah, the wonderful villain from Final Fantasy VI. Those of you who are familiar with the incredibly crazy evil person that is Kefka, and the final boss fight that occurs with him in the game will undoubtedly recognise this image as being the final form he takes on. I haven't really made any specific changes from the original - I've merely painted a picture of the image from the game. The pixel art for the original game is amazing, and I thought it would make a really nice painting, so I decided to try it.
There were one of two really tricky things about this. As the original picture is quite small, it's difficult to make out all the details. The face in particular was interesting. Oh, and then the background took forever to do. When working in very close detail on the clouds and beams of light, it was sometimes really tricky to see what I was actually painting until I zoomed out to see what it looked like.
