Fan Art: FFXI 'Rinn, Captain of the Booty Knights. *^^* Options

[Layrinn]

So it's been a while since I've drawn anything... It's been even longer since I've used someone else's sketch as a starting point. But when I came across this drawing the other day, I was like.. omg that one is just begging to be CG'd.

... or, as Astra put it... "Oh god, I want you to CG me so hard." ^^;

One more time for the record, just so there's no misunderstanding... I did not draw the original sketch.

I really wish I knew who did, so I could give that person his or her due... but unfortunately, the place I stumbled across it also did not name the artist. :( Nameless one, where ever you are... GO'DAMN, NICE JOB! O.o

Oh yeah, one last thing... if you're adverse to looking at half-naked women, now would be a good time to leave. >.>;

*cough*

All right... enough with the flowery introduction, here she is:



This has to leave you wondering... who's the lucky person on the other side of the point of view? *^.^*

Hehe... anyways. I saved several pictures recording my progression from the original sketch to what you see here. Feel free to peruse them here:
