Description
Haha, a title like that makes you think of Adam and Eve or something. Hardly what this is!
I'm feeling unoriginal, so deal with it. 
This is... ANOTHER Legend of Mana picture! I love that game!!
This is the main character--I call him Albert--in his garden with his two "apprentices" (homeless waifs), Bud and Lisa. I really like Bud and Lisa, though many people find them annoying. I certainly don't quest with them if, say, Elazul or Blackpearl is available, but they're still fun characters. And I can just see them causing trouble in kindly Albert's garden. 
He's such a good guy. 
This is a really slipshod drawing, yet I like it because of it's washed-out simplicity. I only wish I'd used waterproof pens.
I need to get me some good tools. Done with ink and watercolor pencils.

You're right; the hero does look like an Albert: 'noble and bright'. I usually play as the Heroine. I always called her Maya. According to a book of names I found its a Hindu name meaning 'God's creative power'. I thought it fit fairly well seeing as, in the game, you are building a world one piece at a time....... That and I think it sounds cool! ^-^ I like names.....

Hehe, that is so cute! I just adore Bud's expression as he tangles with the weed of doom! And Lisa is like "Oh calm down, it's a just a weed!" while "Kaleb" (or Albert ^^) looks on with an adorably sweet expression... ^^
I've noticed that there is a slightly different drawing style. There is no nose, and the eyes are smaller and are just color. The hands are also more simplistic. Very cute; is this just a spur of the moment sort-of style? Or one you have developed over time? Because I really like it. ^^
I like the washed-out colors in this pic, it adds to the cuteness. ^^ Can I say the word "cute" anymore? ...Yes, I just did.

Yay! Glad you like it so much! Yeah, I totally used a different style for this--it was quite a spur of the moment thing. I mean, all of my styles are very similar and all, but they all have different quirks. This one has a LOT of different quirks. ^^ It's sort of like a Final Fantasy Tactics style, only a lot more simplistic. And that was the point, really. Just a brief, cute little picture. So, glad I succeeded in making you say "cute" so many times--that was the point!

dunno what, but there's something i enjoy about it. I think its because you made it with a pencil, it really shows the love and the dedication you put into it

I spent about an hour on it, tops. But I'm glad you like it. I do put a lot of love into most of my pictures. XD
