FF B-Day Speed Sketch: Squall Leonhart

Been listening numerous times of The Black Mages' Maybe I'm A Lion song while doing this speed sketch, and I just realized that I misspelled lion with "loin". Little fail, but never mind that!

Today's the slightly anti-social but lionhearted gunblader Squall Leonhart's birthday! If he was 17 years old in 1999 (which is the official release year of FFVIII), he will be 32 years old today. Man, he is getting old like his happy-go-lucky daddy!  Nothing like celebrating and experimenting with pen inks and pastels in this speed sketch, and of course, guessing ages.  I personally think his 25-year-old Leon attire is the most handsome, and also, he is Asian Tom Cruise!

Happy Birthday Squall! I am sure right now Rinoa, Laguna, Ellone, and the rest of the gang planned a great birthday bash for you! *psst... do you guys think Squall is a party kind-of-guy?*
