Finally this is FINISHED. There’s a lot I want to go back and fix but for now, other projects are to be worked on! It’s been a ride.

This was inspired by the wonderous @ladyshosha for their depiction of Ardyn in a WHM outfit, and I was so shocked by how natural he looked in it–especially if Ardyn wore FFXI/XIV whm artifact gear I decided to do a gander at it myself. I mixed both his orginal outfit with a mixture of AF1 from both FF11 and FF14.

I also used Erza Miller as a young!ardyn face map.

Finally, after tons of work and not wanting to look at anymore I present to you sad, slimey man for all your young ardyn-y needs… ( and if you ship gilgamesh and ardyn :3)
