Description
An inked drawing from my notebook with a gentle splash of CG coloring (hence, put in traditional). It has glaring errors but I think it turned out cute.I am a Shining Force series junkie - oh Shining Force, root of my tactical RPG obsession. I realize I'm treading the obscurest of the obscure, here, but I tend to ship Sarah and Kazin (he went to comfort her, dangit!). So here's Sarah, storming off while Kazin and Taya-the-gorgeous-blonde-sorceress talk all friendly like. It's hard for voluminous blue robes to compete with that!
I'm wierd. I know. But obscure fanon-art is so fun!

I love Taya, but I don't think she'd go so far as to steal Kazin from Sarah like that. Besides, I always got the impression that Sarah had a crush on Bowie from childhood, the way she runs out when he has to go and kiss the princess.
I'm a weird one, though. My crack pairings are Taya and Rhode... and Kazin and Karna.

And yet, when Sarah is promoted to Master Monk, she can beat the pants off Taya.

Begun to replay shining force 2 again, and found this pic while browsing some shining force fan art, really nice. Love the colours and cosy feeling of it.

Actually, I've drawn some SF2 fanart myself... I've been putting off scanning them for so long though, haha.

I just about exploded at seeing this. XD This is so awesome! I grew up with Shining Force... I love Kazin, and Taya... and Sarah... and all the characters. -coughs-
Kudos to you for drawing this. XD

Nice picture man. Seeing it brings back memories of when I played SF II. I was in the hospital at the time and I had a sega hooked up next to my bed, I played the hell out of that game XD. That and Phantasy Star 4, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
I really wish Sarah would have ended up with Bowie at the end of the game, I think she was a better companion then the Princess was. Plus Sarah was with Bowie from the beginning through the end, while the Princess was really only in a few scenes. But ah, I digress. I really like your art style, and I can see the fun you had in drawing it. You can always tell how much a person enjoys making their pictures by the amount of detail they put into the characters expressions and their mannerisms, and I sense in this picture that you had fun creating it XD. Good job!

Oh my goodness, how much I love Shining Force II -- it was my first major game for the Sega, and I never looked back...I've played that game with some frequency for the rest of my life, and it never gets tiresome.
Taya...that cheating whore.

I LOVE it! Taya is beautiful! I have had my shining force I and II since they came out and got SF-RDD for GBA right after it came out! I am so happy people can do great Shining Force art!

It certainly is refreshing to see other people drawing SF related art, this is the one series, more specifically SF 1 and 2, that I have gone back to year after year to play, SF1 was the first game I got for my Sega, I shall never forget
I love your drawing style, and the splash of colour really brings it out.
heh I've always imagined Sara and Kazin could have had something going, those two clicked with me when I first played the game, I was actually more suprised she liked Bowie XD

Yes, definitely ^_^ You have some rocking Shining fanart yourself. And thank you for the comments.
Shining Force 1 was my first videogame, so I keep coming back to the series for inspiration every now and again. I plan on doing some more pieces soon. And one of these days I will reinstall my emulator and get back into the gaiden spinoffs, such interesting characters!
I agree. But I think the Bowie thing was just a crush. She does get comforted by Kazin afterwords, maybe he confesses a hidden love or something

I've been wanting to draw SF characters for sooo long, I just never got around to it untill now XD
I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for more of your art then
I was half expecting Kazin and Sara to get together in the end, but it just didn't happen, so much potential for more in that game, but the story is brilliant enough as it is really, the rest is up to our imaginations.

I love the look of this, the 'splash' of color works really well, and it just snagged my eye from the thumbnail. :3 Your characters are always so charming and fun, I could just look at your stuff for hours. ^^ Wonderful job.

Ah, Shining Force. I seem to have a decreasing patience for tactical RPGs these days... Or perhaps it's merely decreasing amounts of free time. Not that I've ever really played any tactical RPGs besides FFTactics and Disgaea. . .
I really like the way this lightly colored effect works. A sort of graceful, washed-out watercolor. Elegantly minimalistic. I think it might be interesting to see this picture with a background (Castle courtyard, maybe) that's more solidly colored, making the thinly colored characters stand out.
(I think I'd rather prefer the voluminous blue robes over pink and blonde, myself. Of course, said not that I actually know the characters...)

Indeed. Shining Force and I go insanely far back; I would still be playing the many sequels in ROM form, but all my saves were on a harddrive that crashed, and the PS2 is so shiney and alluring compared to old Genesis/Gamegear games...
Tactical RPGs really do rely on large amounts of time. What are you playing right now?
I really like your suggestion of the background. I agree, the contrast might work well with the wispy looking figures. I'm not sure if I want to go back to this piece, but I definitely want to do more fanart in this technique, so I think I'll try that upcoming
(Well, Sarah/big blue robes actually says and does things, so her character is more interesting ^^)

I'm not playing too terribly much at the moment. I spent the first couple months of summer finishing Baten Kaitos and playing Tales of Symphonia. (Hugs ToS, which is a bit hard to do to a game disk). More recently, like since I got a DS for my birthday, I've been playing Kirby's Canvas Curse (You should try it if you get the chance, just cause it's a fun game to play around in) and all three of the current Wario Ware games. I'm thinking of picking up Altelier Iris (I might remember how to spell it if I could hear someone pronounce it). I also plan on going through Paper Mario 2: The Thousand Year Door in order to record music from it since I can't find a soundtrack. I'm also idly trying to complete the first two Zelda games on an emulator, but I'm a bit discouraged at the moment. And I've been trying to convince myself to play a bunch of SNES RPGs that I have on ROM for some time. (See, ask me what games I'm playing and you get a rather long paragraph)
But for the last couple weeks I haven't been playing many games at all because of Harry Potter and my attempting to force myself to do more atwork, which has sofar proved an unsuccessful effort.
