An illustration of my oc, Krieg Dietrich, done by @nneezz!
Krieg is a brown Highlander Hyur from FFXIV (equivalent of a human man). He has amber eyes and dark brown hair with grey streaks. In the image he is posed from the waist up, standing formally as he looks off to the side.
He is dressed in ornate attire that looks like it can double as armor. While elegant, it carries symbolism of the relationship between him and two divinities.
His chest piece is dark, with golden decals that swirl with elegance but also sharp points, curling around him in an almost embrace, or grasp, type manner. His right arm that is visible is entirely clad in ornate gold armor - his arm and hand that have given other support, but also guided him in the taking of lives. The gold details symbolizes his relationship with Ultima - Mother, Maker, Ruination.
A light blue side cape drapes over his left arm. A small stripe of gold bordering the edges. The softness of the fabric contrasts heavily with the more rigged and sturdy form of the armor. The cape comes up to a high collar, where more gold details rest. Though it is less gilded, the cape provides warmth and cover, working to keep what's beneath it hidden. It symbolizes Krieg's relationship with Hydaelyn - Mother, fate, open arms
Catching the light, a long golden dangle earring hangs from Krieg's left ear. It belonged to his mother, which he took with him when he had to flee from home. It symbolizes his relationship with Neda - Mother, weight of the family, who he returns to.
Krieg Dietrich is a Councilor of Defense, and he carries the weight as he always has.
Thank you so much @nneezz.bsky.social for this piece of my character, Krieg!
