I was wondering if I could submit this to dA, courtesy of Square's strict rules, regarding that... but I guess it's pretty standard, just stating that the concept and characters are property of them and all. X3
Val pointed out people were already submitting their entries here, so I guess I will too, then. :3

It's not a winner, I can tell, seeing as I've already seen amazing entries as it is *_* just wow. Also, that's only the few that are seen on devART. I've only managed to google up a few other non-dA-user entries, quite impressive! : D
But the picture has an ulterio purpose, other than being a contest enrty; both Val and I are growing tired of seeing these... "skanky", distastefully posed/dressed (if even dressed at ALL) Mithra fan art submission, that constitutes the majority of devART's deceptive search results for "Mithra". It's like "Okay! we get it! This race is supposed to be 'attractive-looking', but geez..."
So here's my dynamic entry, hoping it'll at least be one of the few milestones, for the players who come in search of Mithran fanart, wishing to find at least some cute and tasteful art, of this game character-race. x.x;
If it can at least achive that, then the contest itself, is unimportant to me. ;3

(Entry) Comment:
If there's any female character that blows my mind and wish to honour with heartfelt piece of art,
it is most definitely the character of my girlfriend. I love her with all my heart. She
and I have been playing for a few years and she has been keeping my Paladin alive and well for so
long, with her- as I nicknamed it, "Kittymagics" which of course is a play on the fact she plays
as Mithra race. She and I seem to be quite the show-stoppers for people passing by, as many stop
and stare for several seconds, seeing as we only duo party, just her and I. It's not every day, I
guess, that they witness a meleeing mithran White Mage, viciously whacking the poor monsters, with
her arsenal of staves, ha ha. She's just awesome like that.
Here, I drew her enjoying the studying, of her greatest profession, under the calm Windurstian
night sky, but seems to be momentarily distracted from her reading...
Both she and I agree that Cait Sith is simply too precious, even though she probably ought to
eat a couple more fish, she's so skinny, ahh! But a little cameo in my art piece should be the
matter of course, even though it would seem as if, she is not pleased with this unfortunate
moment being captured, but even she should know better than to take on (Incredibly Tough) balls
of yarn.
