Artist's Comments

I'm beginning to work out the plans for the Final Fantasy Dissidia Fanart involving Zidane and Kuja as promised in a sketch of Zidane similar to this one [link] . I've worked out what the picture will look like and how it's all gonna be set out, so all that needs to be done now is get down to it and start sketching and drawing.

Kuja really looks incredible in Nomura's new interpretation of the sinister romanticist. He hasn't changed much design wise, infact it's nearly identical to how he was seen in the original title, but the fact that he has a full-body image clarifies so much that I had to ask about him design wise.

I also love what Nomura's done with his hair. Before Kuja used to sport a bit of a bowl-cut fringe but now it looks radical and dangerous, it suits his dispostion and works well with the white dragon plumes in his hair. Everything just seems to work now.

This sketch took a tad longer than the Zidane one, his clothes are so much harder to visualise, and I also did a better job with the lines. Hope you enjoy it all the same -_^"


Was sketched and drawn over in ballpoint pen,
scanned and edited in ArcSoft PhotoStudio 5.5.

Kuja is in copyright of Square Enix.
Current design in copyright to Tetsuya Nomura,
Original design in copyright to Shukō Murase and
Yoshitaka Amano.
Art in copyright of me!

Just get rid of the excess lines and you'll have a very nice inking indeed.

Ahh, too-too cool, I love your line-work, as always! * _* The thicker lines look so good, wah! His expression is really cool, as is his hair, haha.

You know what is kinda sad....I prefered Kuja in the game. He looked more human... I dunno, that's my view. Good image though... do you mind if I critique it a little though? The only little thing I see is his nose... I think it should be a little longer, and a little higher... that's all really. I dunno, it makes him look younger than he is, like a child Kuja. *bows head* Sorry, sorry! It is good though! XD

Loving this TZ, he looks so evil XD Great lineart as always as X3

Nomura really did bring out the sinister nature of Kuja in his drawing and true not big alterations but it being in his style makes it seem so different. That makes no sense >>; But yeah, Nomura molds Kuja, Zidane and the other reather well. don't get me wrong though, full credit and praise to those who originally drew and designed all these characters as well

Nice lines. I really like the bit of extra detail around his eyes. Kuja had the prettiest eye shadow... :XD:

I might clean it up some time in the future. I'm always working on something new so coming back to old material is a pain, but it could work out here. I really like how the LineArt came out myself.

Thanksuu for commenting!

Nah, you're kinda right. He does have a more pronounced shnoz than what I've depicted. Still, whenever I draw the Genomes I always keep aspects of Race at mind, as they all have feminine figures, blond hair, tail etc blah blah, so I try to depict that I how they're drawn.

And no worries about the critique, I've got it on encouraged for a reason. I love to talk about my art for reason deeper than what most people suggest at first, especially if I cam improve from it.
