This is the archer/thief comedy character that I play in Kamber's RPG every week. He's Froo, age 16. This was an early look for him. I was really proud of the design even though it totally rips off Vaan from FFXII. I was really pleased until I realized he was right-handed and put everything on the wrong sides.
Fruvaldi had long hair in front... until the fire.

Hehe! He wouldn't get nervous if I put some sharp kitty teeth to work on those ears, would he? :D
Hmm. Fire certainly can be harmful to one's appearance. But is this picture from before or after the loss of hair? I'm sure you've found a way for it to look just as cute short, hmm? {:3

Well, now wait a sec.... I've had a theory for a long time now... that certain things, like archery, fer instance... you want to AIM with your more dexterous hand.. and for a right-handed person that would be.. your right.
Now, I know this flies in the face of normal convention.... but what's to say he didn't learn that way and it works for him?

Savage Worlds, like the other one in my Scraps folder.
I made him more human-like, although I made him a little more animal-like in later sketches.

...Considering I didn't play Final Fantasy 12, I couldn't tell who Vaan was to make the comparison.
However. Due to the hair, it immediately reminded me of Ren from Pirates of Dark Water.
[It's just the hair mind you. The face well.... I can't quite say I'd be seeing Hanna Barbara in it's prime animation comparison there. Pretty close though.]
That aside, I do happen to like the outfit. Now THAT I can safely say I could see in a Final Fantasy game. (I would have said Dungeons and Dragons but not a game I play.) It works because from the looks of it, the character's an archer, so for the sake of mobility, aim and overall speed loading time, you have an outfit that fits. I like attention to detail like that.
Another thing I like is how he doesn't look FEMININE. He just looks like a 'pretty boy' character. (Again. Ren from pirates of Dark Water.) And I can enjoy that.
Not too bad here~

I'm in love with characters like Ren, but I found Froo too difficult to roleplay among my friends. Froo is supposed to be confident, clever, and poetic, but I just stammered through his screen time and wasn't sure if he was crazy, super gay, haunted, or dim-wittedly curious. I miss the character only because it inspired me to draw him.
The GM preferred a more realistic style than my toony anime one, so it soured me from ever wanting to draw characters from our game anymore. Not that I couldn't do what he wanted, but it wouldn't be what I wanted.
