Final Fantasy XIV Character Illustration — Private Commission

Created a personalized Final Fantasy XIV wallpaper illustration featuring the client’s character and summon, emphasizing warmth, storytelling, and cinematic lighting in a cohesive fantasy composition.

Project Overview

Commissioned as a Final Fantasy XIV fan illustration, this piece features the client’s in-game character alongside their summon.


The goal was to create a high-quality, narrative-driven wallpaper that captured the bond between the character and summon while fitting the fantasy tone of the game’s world.

I designed the composition around a soft forest glow, using dynamic lighting and warm reflective tones to highlight both figures and their magical connection. The result is a cinematic yet cozy visual, optimized for desktop display and personalized to the player’s in-game identity.

Designed and rendered the main character based on player reference, adapting outfit and proportions to fit a chibi-fantasy style.

Balanced soft rim lighting with warm highlights for a magical, ethereal glow effect.

Built a stylized background that enhances the focal characters while maintaining a soft atmospheric depth.

Formatted composition for widescreen resolution with attention to focal balance and contrast readability.
