AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~

(tvtropes is the place to go to stop being a human being and instead a mere pair of eyeballs duct-taped to the screen.)

Niiiice~ I bum-rushed the MQ in 3 days (sleep?? NO THANKS.) but as the CQs started to wrap up and the game was nearing a close (along with certain sad parting-of-ways), I found myself unable to keep going and.

Oblivious to love: Except STELLAAAAAA'S

(At least by now I have taught myself not to open 30 new tabs while reading an article. It's about 3 now o3o)

I'm not sure how many days I spent with the MQ, though 5+ hours was the minimum play time per day (until my 60 Hz TV broke, now I got a new HD TV, which works very well with my shiny new PS3) and I for myself rather skipped eating. And I still do. It's just... It takes so much time and so much effort when instead I could be playing the game! I've spent almost a week barely eating when playing Abyss already and I certainly did not appreciate this 'waste of time' when playing Graces. 
Why can't they just always stay togetheeeer~ TwT

It's been almost two Graces and half of an Abyss since I played Legendia until I recently started again, so i kinda forgot a lot >_> Which is why I want to defeat Schwartz asap, though I think I'll be farming Grade and Victory Quotes before, since I have no idea how my grade is looking at the moment. It could be positive, neutral, negative... Like I said, it's been a long time  )

Oh Stella, look at you: So beautiful, so strong, so awesome in every way......... Why couldn't I have you instead of your sister?

Legendia is the rare one that threw a curveball and killed off its Colette/Tear/Estelle-type character at the 1/3 mark. If nothing else they get creativity points for that.


...at least we got Grune?

crazed-monkey In reply to 47ness [2013-08-28 08:35:27 +0000 UTC]

Which is precious little comfort when Grune doesn't get any development until her character quest. Why couldn't this game figure out how to have character development and story go hand in hand like every other Tales game out there.

Well.

Legendia is my favorite Tales game.

I dunno what to say. ^^

To each their own. Obviously, I don't care for it, but if you like it, that's fine. Personally, I would've liked the game more if I could've traded Stella for her sister, but that's just me.

I'm afraid that I don't have as much to say about this one, sorry - it's two in the morning and inspiration's not coming - but I do think that the lighting is superb. The light-sourcing from the moon looks entirely naturalistic and the variation in tone along the length of the swan-neck is a particularly distinctive element.

47ness In reply to King-Robert-XII [2009-03-06 09:44:53 +0000 UTC]

Fun. It's about 2 in the morning here as I reply. :Þ

I was hesitant at first because being back-lit, poor Stella just becomes one dark shape on the page, but I wagered on enough people being familiar with this kind of lighting situation that it would come off naturally. ;;

Thanks for the kind words~! ♫

Shh! Angel implies the afterlife, and we don't want to get Senny worked up again.....

Oh that's easy:

1. Solid white circle
2. Another circle, hit with Gaussian Blur at 10
3. Another ciricle, Gaussian Blur at 30-50
4. Import photo of the moon; set layer to Overlay

Viola, *ors*.

Yes...? XD;

I honestly tried to draw a cartoony moon myself but it ate up time and looked like crap and this drawing wasn't life or death for me so there.

(Plus a fake moon would subconsciously look "off" to any viewer since we're all so familiar with what the moon looks like. This is truth.)

Is a very very very beautiful artwork ^^ I enjoyed the three layers of the art, the girl, the cygnus and the bg, with the moon ^^ The idea for the cygnus silhouette on the moon and the open wing, almost like making the girl having wing, i a cool one, and also makes me think that there is a connection between her and the heavens.
I also liked the shading work, where her face is immersed on the shadow, and the main light effects come from her hands ^^ Great And the sad expression fits well with the title, Cygnus Song
