Dark Flame - Paladin Force

This time I've been playing Final Fantasy Record Keeper on my phone and it's fantastically nostalgic! And even the modern Characters looks so adorable in their sprites

And their special Soul Breaks techniques looks just cool!
I like taking the FF IV crew for some reasons. And I like taking Cecil as Dark Knight because he's so kickass in the battles. Especially when he's using his "Dark Flame" technique.
Sure I got the chance to use Paladin Cecil's special technique "Paladin Force" from the fellow players.

I wish I could take Paladin Cecil more in my adventures but I didn't have the right equipment for him

So many references I need to search but the long time was worth.
I could have drawn him in his classic style but I prefer his modern style 'cause I got used to it. And I didn't find the right recources to draw Classic Paladin Cecil properly.
But .... seriously, he looks so darn cute in his old-school sprites!   

Anways, I forgot how many time I took for these two pictures. Enjoy!
