Have you guys seen Vagrant art!? I just happen to pass by it a few days ago, which rapidly made my fav some of his pieces! Specially the Final Fantasy-like Portraits found here:

Since I do need to practice some portraits I decided it would be a good challenge to give it a try. This is then a 14-colors portrait of Artoria, the character that you might have seen me post a few days ago for the project Andragoras: Tales of Magnitude. :)
