Made specifically for the FFXIV: Endwalker Celebration Fan art Contest
For the basis of the character, I chose the Viera race, in the Monk job. I wanted to show the true spirit of Monk, it is really dynamic and leads to the origins of martial arts. So I thought it would be great to show the monk spirits fighting with their fists in traditional martial arts poses. They serve as an idea, a guide to the fact that we changing as we develop. They personify our past, our efforts, aspirations and dreams.
The central image of the monk is already full, She is the present, in armor - Bhikku Set and with - Samsara weapons, including in a recognizable pose for FFXIV. I really love how traditional monk's armor looks like.
Hope everyone enjoys this approach.
