This model was created for fun as a part of Mini Comp #14: Final Fantasy Judges on GameArtisans.org.  The specs for the competition allowed only 700 triangles and the use of a single 512 pixel by 512 pixel diffuse, alpha, and glow map.  The model was created in 3D Studio Max. The textures are a combination of hand painting and photo manipulation techniques and were created at true resolution using Photoshop CS 2.  If you look closely, there are a couple of 8-bit moogle hidden in the texture.

Kupo.
