Golbez, Clad in Darkness

What do you get when you combine an evil, conniving psychic and a large, imposing figure you don't ever wanna mess with? You get Golbez, the most badass villain in Final Fantasy.

The pose is original, and the armor is the Dissidia (Amano) version. As for the Shadow Dragon, I used the original Amano concept because it's kickass.

Added some color because you can't really call him a "Clad in Darkness" if you don't shade or color his armor. This is by far my most difficult work yet, merely pencil-sketching his armor and studying it through reference already took me 2-and-a-half hours. Inking took me an hour, and coloring took two... you get the idea.

If anyone actually stumbles upon this deviation, feel free to comment and I hope you appreciate it ^^
