I drew this "Rezo the Great Phisolopher" CG as a present for the readers of my fan fictions in the Nifty-serve. I referred to some pictures of chirstian saints because I wanted to draw Rezo as one of the five living great philosophers. I also referred some books of costume in order to find out suitable design. The robe and the cloak are those of the member of Order of St.John of Jerusalem(Hospitallers), and the stole is that of the Deacon. The hair style comes from artworks of the Slayers novel. The plant Rezo has is like a Catholic symbol of "eye of the God", but here I intended to symbolize the "Ruby Eye = Shaburanigudo".
