Gladio Week Day 4: Devotion / Crownsguard initiation / “I’ve got your back, now and always.”

Here it is: the realization of a comp I’ve had rolling around in my head for a while (also, I think I could bend all the prompts to fit this one, but “devotion” was at the forefront of my mind :’))

Image description 1: A content warning buffer image. On it is written “CW: The illustration that follows contains semi-realistic depictions of: Blood / Gore / Bleeding / Open wounds (all are tagged, I’m just adding an extra layer of forewarning!)” End ID. Image description 2: A fan illustration of Gladiolus from Final Fantasy 15. The composition is divided into three panels stacked vertically and depicting Gladio from the head down to just above his knees. Each panel delineates a different point in time. The first, centered on his face, is a younger, pre-game Gladio after the fight that gave him the scar that runs vertically from his forehead to his cheek. His hair is cropped short (though it still reflects his persistent “long on the top, shaved on the sides” style), and his tattoo is in-progress: the eagle’s head has been lined and wrapped in protective plastic. The second panel depicts him during Episode Gladio at the end of the Trials when he receives the long, diagonal scar across his chest. I also gave him top surgery scars because I can. The final panel depicts him, with bloodied hands, during the World of Ruin. End ID.

Gladio Week Day 5: Vulnerable / Overcoming a fear / “If I can’t protect you, what good am I?”

That’s right, all the prompts again. Time to talk about dad (and everything else).

Take your comfort zone, tilt the angle and BOOM PROBLEM.

Or I’m just too critical with myself when it comes to Ignis.

Me: Don’t be a coward, no hair down and glasses. Me: … Me: At least I drew the pompadour, that counts, right…?
