Swirly Ephraim is swirly

This is a picture of Ephraim! Yaaaay! I decided I wanted to draw a picture of him looking dramatic, from above, with lights and wind twining around him. And it worked! That’s the amazing part. My brother still hates this picture. I DUN CARE. The thing in his left hand is the Sacred Stone, and it’s supposed to be glowing. Perspective is a bit off on Reginleif, his lance… and I forgot his bracelet. But I’m still really happy with how this turned out. I think I used a reference for the face but I’m not sure about the rest of him. And somehow I seem to recall drawing this on vacation which was in August, but that could be a false memory.
