Sabin Duvert got nearly twice as many entries as either of my other characters combined, so he gets two runner up spots wink
Ritterlich
I really enjoyed Ritterlich's depiction of Sabin. The clothing is period, and yet different from the traditional black and white. She's got this great, misty background with the hint of the anju in the shadows behind him. The pose is fun, and it's overall a great Sabin piece that really stands out!

It was really a tough call between this and Ritterlich's Sabins. This is also a fantastic Sabin piece - great precision on the lineart, a terrifying Anju, and even the detail of the nasty burn scars around his wrist. This is a wonderful classic depiction of the character and there is absolutely no mistaking this character for anyone other than my Sabin <3.

Kiiro-chan
This piece really caught me. First off, Sabin looks very characteristic to me; while he can be regarded as handsome, he's no perfect bishonen. The long face and nose is great here - but best of all is the absolutely wonderful job Kiiro did on the eerie looming Anju. The light of the eyes reflecting off of the white of his hair, the almost palpable darkness, and the fact you can make out the hint of the shape of the anju's face and arms using the light of his eyes really makes this piece so atmospheric.
