Artist Study - Akihiko Yoshida

Akihiko Yoshida is going back to when i did studies on another of Final Fantasys artists Tetsuya Nomura, FF has always been a major part of my life and i am happy to go back to studying some of the games main concept artists, here is some of FF12s artwork done by Akihiko Yoshida and some i just found online probably originating from Akihiko Yoshida also.

This kind of work is good for me to study because i want to learn how to show how metal armour and materials look and reflect in different light, it also shows body proportions, perspective and good use of colour, the amount of detail in these images is mind blowing and simply amazing, but i do like the way the light reacts with the characters as my main point of focus in these images.
