Description Reblog from my tumblr here!   (Do not repost, thank you!)

...

"Their search took them far and wide.  What they soon found shocked them all...  They caught wind that Felix and Sheba were still alive.  The scoundrel and his captive..."

"WHAT?!  Scoundrel?!  REALLY?"
"..."
"Ok, Matthew, next lesson - your Uncle Felix is not a scoundrel.  Understood?  Good.  Now, let's continue the story of how the brave hero Felix and his true love saved Weyard with help from his amazing sister and their other friends..."

...

Secret Santa for Alasmay as part of the Secret Santa event!  Two of their favorite characters are Felix and Matthew, one of their favorite locations is Venus Lighthouse, and one of their favorite ships is Felix with Sheba, aka Lighthouseshipping - and I'm super happy that I managed to work all of these things in using an idea I've had for a while!  I hope you like it!

...

I have to admit that ever since I played Dark Dawn and read the Sun Saga in that, I wondered how Felix would react to reading them himself.  He's not exactly painted in a very good light in them.  (Felix?  Saved a village from a dragon?  Really?  HIM?)  And so this idea has been sitting in my head ever since.

I'm a big fan of Felix, so of course I was sad that he never made an appearance in Dark Dawn.  I seriously don't think he's the kind of person to just vanish and leave his family behind, so...  Here's a scene I like to imagine was commonplace: Uncle Felix stopping by his sister's place to teach his nephew (proper) history.  (And yes, Felix was the one that left the little plushies kissing like that.  I love Lighthouse shipping, it's one of my OTPs.  x3)

Art wise I really had fun making this piece, too!  I like this way of shading and using subtle overlays to really add texture to stuff.  (Multiple light sources was kinda tricky to deal with but also a fun challenge!)  I actually love pretty much every element of this - though the window and lamp are my favorite background touches. ^-^

I hope to keep improving in my art like this, because I can really feel the quality jump here!

Bonus:

"What's a scoundrel mean?"
"It's what your father is, kid."
"Oh."

I also like to think it was Felix's advice that led Matthew to be a silent protagonist.  Because, clearly, people like you better when you don't say a word.

I like Lighthouse shipping too.

Also, Felix, to be fair, you look like a scoundrel.

I like the little Felix and Sheba kissing next to a model of the Venus lighthouse.  That's a nice touch!

You got that right, except for the true love part. *ahem* Duskshipping > Lighthouse!

Haha, well I don't mind Dusk either, I just prefer Lighthouse a bit more myself.  ^-^  (I think awesome uncle Felix is something everyone can agree should be a thing, though. )
