Conception and Design
Kefka's appearance was designed by Yoshitaka Amano, who was given complete creative control over Final Fantasy VI with the brief character outlines he was handed, designing them to feel "alive" within his imagination though with consideration for the representation as small computer sprites. Given only the artwork and outline to work with during production, writer Yoshinori Kitase felt that one early scene of the character approaching a castle was too "boring to make completely normal", and decided to ad-lib a scene with one of his accompanying soldiers dusting off his boots in the middle of a desert. The scene set the tone for Kefka's personality from that point onwards as a result, suggesting there "may be a screw or two missing from this character's head."

Famous quotes containing the words conception and, conception and/or design:
“We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“I wish glib and indiscriminate critics of industrialists had some conception of the problems that have to be met by factory management.... General condemnation of employers is a favorite indoor sport of the uninformed intelligentsia who assume the role of lance- bearers for labor.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life ... for fear that I should get some of his good done to me,—some of its virus mingled with my blood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
