Description
Alright, here's the deal. Earthbound is the greatest RPG ever. Period. Don't try to argue that with me, I won't budge. This is a concept I've been thinking about for a long time, they came out with Mother 3 in Japan... but it's not really a direct sequel to Mother 2. They ended Earthbound in such a way as to make you think that there would definately be a sequel. Hell, there was even a sign in Fourside that said that a meeting was going on about Earthbound 2. So why was the plotline of ness dropped? It's bull s&*t. Anyway, enough of my rant, this is an older Ness who has become extrememly powerful and even has a hard time controling his own psychic abilities. I was trying to think of a darker setting for Earthbound that fell along the lines of 'Galerians: Ash' Where Ness becomes a sort of Anti-Hero but not by choice, it's just that he has trouble controlling the limitless power that is his mind. The 'duel wielding flying bats' thing kinda came along after KH:II and the whole 'final form' thing. Anyway, that's about it. I wanna color this as soon as I can, but unfortunately right now I can't get a Wacom from the School because it's one in the morning.Related content

It would be an awesome story, I mean he becomes so powerful while just a kid, a story of him just losing it would be win.

Yeah Earthbound/Mother is such a neat series.(Though I'm more of a Final Fantasy fan but that's another story...9_9) It's too bad that Mother 1+2 and Earthbound 2/Mother 3 didn't come out on GBA in the US...

Yes. I agree with that statement of yours yeah, Mother 3 is alright, it's just... not Earthbound. Nothing ever can or will be, right?
[besides itself of course]

Nice pic, and yes EarthBound is the greatest RPG ever.
The Mother/EarthBound series pretty much doesn't have set main characters, (Much like some other RPGs) wich is why Mother 3 has a different cast. (In fact look at the Japan-onley Mother 1 game. It had different characters as well, though the first 3 main characters do resembled Ness & Co.)
I hear Mother 3 does have references to Mother 2 though, and apparently Pokey, and some other characters/enemies do return in it. (I honestly would love to see Mother 3 get a stateside release, but it seems doubtfull at this time.)

I totally agree with you o_o Actually, the only reason I came upon this was because I have an SNES emulator on my 'puter and I thought itd be a good idea to play EarthBound again, for old times sake. Well. I got hooked. Again. And Im drawing fanart left and right. In fact, I'm thinking about either doing a 'doujin', chronicling the entire story or what happens after Giygas. But dude, more Ness explaineyness would be awesome
Look for fanart soon.
Oh yeah, by the way, I love this picture xD And the concept behind it.

That's just really cool o_o I've never even played Earthbound- my only experience of Ness is from SSBM and I always found him extremely annoying- but the way you've advanced his age, and not only that but develpoed the plot further yourself, is really cool

Now you know I gotta have a friendly argument with you about this. I stand firmly when I say that Crono Trigger is the best RPG in existence!

Look, Chrono Trigger is great, I'll admit it. But it's alittle over-rated. Plus, everyone played Chrono Trigger, and it's art was drawn by Akira Toriyama, giving it an unfair advantage publicity wise. And It was a cool concept, time travel, Having warriors from different time periods battle alongside you (Frog is the coolest) But how often do you play an RPG in a modern setting? In Earthbound you heal with Hamburgers and get attacked by raving hippies? But, Chrono trigger is very very good yes. I still stand firmly on the belief that Earthbound is the greatest RPG ever though. Now if only Nintendo would listen to it's small cult fan following... ::sigh::

Chrono Trigger along with series is really good, I mean it sucks cuz it pretty mucn stopped like Earthbound, those kinds of rpgs are truly the best and masterpieces, I wont say that Earthbound is the best (Dont have a fave rpg [yet] but the earthbound series are really remarkable and story like makes fall in love on how coolweirdbeautiful it is.)

Reminds me of Super Smash Bros. Meele. I play Ness on there quite a bit. I know that sounds ignorant to you, an Earthbound Veteran.. But I still appreciate it. Nice Work.
