Toshiyuki Itahana is the art director for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. PlayStation Blog had a feature where they discuss their concept art for the game.

This line art depicts the end of a fight, when the characters still have mud on their faces and clothes, and the adrenaline is still enough to make them forget their wounds. For the finalized, coloured version, I added a background in digitally. Most of the illustrations for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles are warm and cosy, so I remember that when I drew this, I wanted to draw something with a slightly different tone that shows another aspect to these characters.
