Hashmal: Final Fantasy XII

"Hashmal, Bringer of Order"

"Scion set by the gods to wield and manipulate the laws of this world, and with holy power lead mankind to order. Created in opposition to Fandaniel the Protector, scion of light. Desiring to bring order to all things, he joined with Ultima in her battle against the gods. He gave his body to the Thousand-Years War, and when his strength was spent, down into the burning inferno he fell.

Hashmal is an Esper from the world of Ivalice. The Esper of Earth, he represents the Zodiac sign of Leo, the Lion. His face does resemble that of a large feline, though he is overall humanoid shape. From his power of Earth, his color sign is Green. He is also referred to as the Simha Ascendant, which is the Sanskrit name of its Zodiac sign as used in Jyotish (Hindu) astrology. He is based on the Lucavi Hashmal, Bringer of Order from Final Fantasy Tactics. "

Pen and Ink on Bristol. this guy was really hard ...the pen nib was giving me a lot of crap. This is my own original take on Hashmal. You can view his reference image here: [link] Per my habit there was no prework, no presketching, and no pencilwork done prior. This was done "on the fly". I like doing things that way, it keeps the work loose and gives it more energy even if that means making it look a little rough around edges.

I personally LOVE him and am quite proud of myself for this.

Other Esper I've done: [link] ZODIARK.
