Description I was inspired by artwork from the Prince of Persia games, one of my favorite series! I liked the idea of a bridge shaped like swords/knives opposing each other, there is a hint of a palace in the background. For me this painting is about overcoming obstacles when your bridges are broken or burnt down, you can still find a way to get to your goal--let the lights lead you . I'm really proud of this work, it's unlike anything I've ever done before. Comments greatly appreciated , take care!

Cool atmosphere! I've played one of the Prince of Persia games recently, and I really enjoyed it

Yes, that was the one ^^ Although I played it a few years after it was released. You're right, it was beautiful ^^ and had an interesting story with a cool, surprising ending I've never played The Sands of Time, though. I should play it sometime!

it's an older game but i liked the story of it very much lol.  right now though, i'm thinking of doing zelda art or dragonball z since i love those too xD

I like games with interesting stories. These kind of games are the best I should play Zelda sometime, it's such a well known series. Dragonball is good I'm thinking of doing some fanart based on Twinsen's Odyssey or Septerra Core, two really awesome but not very well known old games.

wow i've never heard of twinsen's odyssey or septerra core, i'll have to look into it.  there's a lot of games like that like chrono cross, shenmue, legacy of kain series, killer 7

ThroughSpaceAndTime In reply to SinsValentine [2014-03-13 10:24:39 +0000 UTC]

They are both cool Twinsen's Odyssey is old and has really bad controls, so the only way to play it without being constantly annoyed is to use cheat codes But it's a nice game, sometimes feels slightly targeted towards kids, but still a lot of fun to play. And Septerra Core is amazing, a little Final Fantasy-ish RPG with a cool story that takes place on a very unique world And the ending is sooo beautiful ^_^

Never played Chrono Cross, but Chrono Trigger is one of the most amazing games I've ever played! And I've played Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, it was great, I liked the idea of having the same places in two alternate realities.

ooh you played trigger!  someday i'll draw zeal kingdom lol, and i love soul reaver too defiance was the best game of the series imo, so much good wording in that one!

septerra core does look good, i miss the old playstation 1 days xD.  no worries about kiddy games, animal crossing is very much a kid/adult kinda game lol and i love it

Sounds like a good idea, the Zeal Kingdom looked really cool with the floating islands and stuff I need to play Soul Reaver again, I played it soo many years ago, and never actually finished it because I remember getting stuck at one point O.O

You'd probably enjoy Septerra a lot ^_^ I've never actually had any non-handheld consoles, but fortunately emulators exist so that I could play console games like FF VII on my PC

SinsValentine In reply to ThroughSpaceAndTime [2014-03-14 00:15:32 +0000 UTC]

yeah those old soul reaver games were tough at some parts.  i ended up watching playthroughs on youtube, i found i enjoyed the story a lot more when i did that for some reason .  i'll have to find an emulator for septerra, any recommendations?  

this is the best zeal kingdom art i've seen :

ThroughSpaceAndTime In reply to SinsValentine [2014-03-14 07:25:37 +0000 UTC]

That's a good idea, watching a playthrough could be useful Septerra is a PC game so it doesn't need an emulator ^^

Wow that looks really amazing! I want to draw as good as that one day

i think this was the one i watched: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-RcGz…  it comes in parts

i hope to be that good too!  i'm trying to draw at least a little something everyday, what about you?  how have you been

ThroughSpaceAndTime In reply to SinsValentine [2014-03-14 12:23:34 +0000 UTC]

*looks at the playthrough* it's cool to see that game again, I played it ages ago xD I really should play it again!

I also try to draw something often, but not really every day, I'm lazy xD I probably should draw every day, though. And now I'm at work, but there's nothing to do at the moment so I'm browsing the internet and reading a book And how have you been?

SinsValentine In reply to ThroughSpaceAndTime [2014-03-16 01:37:28 +0000 UTC]

i'm doin great lol, what book are you reading ?  i'm reading this graphic novel from avatar the last air bender series, i love that cartoon lol

ThroughSpaceAndTime In reply to SinsValentine [2014-03-16 10:56:39 +0000 UTC]

Cool! I'm reading "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. I love Sanderson, he's one of the best fantasy writers ever!

I love that cartoon too, I really need to watch the second season of Legend of Korra eventually. The first one was good, but actually not as good as The Last Airbender, in my opinion. 

By the way, yesterday I finally went to see Frozen and it was soooo great!
