I really like your realistic style for this piece, in as much as I also like Ashley Riot. The movement of his hair is really nice, and I think the clean, hard lines you used for his contours is very strong and elegant. The expression on his face cracks me up, like a "Who's your daddy?" kinda look, and he appears to be doing his fruity-looking jump or run (I can never get over how funny he looks from behind when he jumps or slow-walks through a door).

Yeah, he was awesomely designed. As simplistic as the design might seem to some, drawing it is another matter. It's not just a strange top, plus belt and shorts and Romanesque sandals - it's Yoshida's style that made it difficult to render perfectly. Even so, it's so classically beautiful it makes my heart ache at the loveliness of it all.

Damn, nice critique, gotta say i'm not used to thought out comments. Thanks a lot.
I love Yoshida a ton. :-D

You're welcome.

So do I, man. So do I. The man's a god in JRPG art, as far as I'm concerned.
