Description
Duh? XD (Note, large size.
)I seriously think that Legend of Mana is, perhaps, one of my absolute favorite games ever, and most certainly my favorite RPG. (Obviously!) XD The world, story, characters, art, gameplay... Just... everything about makes me happy. ^^ I don't think I've come across a game that I've loved and come back to so much since this game, I don't I ever will. There's a number that come close, but never quite close enough. XD
Iiiiit's also the game's tenth anniversary in Japan, so... Yeah. Why not? XD
On an artistic note, used cell-shading instead of me "usual" method. Since this is so large, I had to draw it on two separate sheets of paper and merge them together after scanning. Spent the most amount of time on (of course!) Escad, and the least amount of time on Elazul and Pearl. XD I'm wiped out after working on this pretty much non-stop, but I'm also so happy. ^^
Materials: Paper, Pencil, Pigma Pen, Photoshop CS2
Music: Legend of Mana OST – Yoko Shimomura (XD Fitting, no?). Whole bunch of other music that I'm too lazy to list.

I loved LoM. Capped 99 earlier this year, actually, only took three new games plus.
A little artistic advice, not being a douche or anything, I just want to help other artists improve, try some anatomical studies, it'll immensely improve your anatomical structure and your art overall.
Either way, it's good, better than some of the garbage that passes as art nowadays....

Rockin! dude I love it
dude the almost scary sad thing is that I could probibly name all of the characters in a heart beat or if I am not please tell me its somewhat scary. (kidding!)

It's the tenth anniversary? I wonder if Square or Brownie Brown is doing anything special.

I doubt it. *saaaaad* Though, there's now a "LOM Festival" going on right now over in the Japanese fandom. Sadly though, there's a lot of people signing up, but nothing fanart-wise on their end. XD I've been debating with myself on whether or not to sign up myself and submit this.
It'd be the game's Tenth state-side anniversary next year... Hmm, perhaps us LoM-fanatics should have our own LOM bananza and celebrate. XD

loverly idea... there's still people at gamefaqs, but not a whole lot of artists.

Wheee, I love character montage-thingies. I especially like Sierra. I'm in love with her hair.
I could totally picture Blackpearl between Sierra and Esme, and Elle flying behind Larc a bit. The tree could be expanded to be more central, behind your Hero...forgotten his name...Caleb? I don't think it would be too cluttered. But hey, it looks fine as it is!
Except the tree looks kind of like a nuclear mushroom cloud. Not that I'm one to talk, since I'm murder to trees myself. I just have this image of some kind of LoM-Fallout crossover now...
Glad to see you back on the art-track anyway! So do you find the cell-shading easier to work with? I know I do...

Haha! Someone noticed the mushroom-cloud Mana Tree! XD A joke I came up with is that Bud and Lisa blew up a massive amount of pumpkins... (Fallout? Nah, I'm thinking Half-Life... WATCH OUT FOR THE HEADCRABS!) XD The excuse I have is that I was up absurdly late while working on it, so the Mana Tree became a victim of "Argh, I wanna get it DOOOOONE!" syndrome and laziness. XD
Ah, come to think of it, that would work in terms of placement. Thanks! ^^ (And it's Kaleb, by the way. Pronounced the same, though.)
And thanks.

Well gee, I never succumb to "I wanna get it done" syndrome...wait, oh yeah. Every single time...

XD Yes, that does happen when trees are involved... Curse those trees! (Fortunately, there's a whole bunch of cheap tricks to use – even if those trees do end up looking like mushroom-clouds... XD)
