Description
Within Ristar, it's stated that the titular character is the son of a legendary hero who was captured and therefor, unable to be summoned so it's up to the young Ristar to save the day. This game is one of my favorites in the Genesis' library and this little part in the story got me thinking as to what Ristar would look like as he aged and became a proper hero. Just a quaint little idea that was fun to play around with, figured making him white now as opposed to yellow was a neat way of visually showing his increased strength, being a star and all... though yes, that doesn't make much sense that he's both larger AND a white dwarf now but, whatever. Logic didn't mean much in the original game eitherRelated content

Hi! It's me again. I was looking at your best concept of Ristar right now. And I was wondering if he's an adult now, what abilities does he have besides stretching out towards the enemies, holds them still and head-bounces them? I've seen some profile pictures that said "His sole purpose is to grant wishes to the innocent", so I'm thinking he could use a star wand.
For the 2 words that says 'Shooting Stars', maybe his weapons would be either a slingshot, a crossbow, or an archery-styled bow and arrows.
These are just my suggestions. If you have the chance to take one of these or all, let me know. I love Ristar the way he is.

I've not really thought on that honestly, but that seems pretty reasonable though I'm not exactly sure what you mean by taking these suggestions? Do you mean by me drawing these? I can do commissions if you're interested, but that's it.

Well, I'm new on DeviantArt and I learned what a commission is. But, you don't have to draw the weapons I mentioned there; I can draw you some and maybe Ristar would like them.
So, may I have your permission to borrow him just for a model for the weapon stance? I'd give you extreme credit for doing a nice job.

Sure, that's fine. I don't own copyright on Ristar anyway

If Ristar was already about 14 or 15 Earth Years he'd be at the Red Giant Stage now, where he has a body and his face is orangey-red to match the Red Giant Stage. THE POWER OF LOGIC AND ASTRONOMY!

I thought this was Ristar's father at first, but you actually made it more awesome since this is supposed to be Ristar himself!

Ah yes, I was hoping I could find a way to get a hold of you.
First off, nice picture. It looks very good. Very good indeed.
Anyway, I was working on these fan videos a long time ago that are part of a fan game idea of mine called Sonic Ristar. It's basically where Greedy & Eggman form an alliance and Ristar must come to Earth, join forces with Sonic, and take them down. But is this alliance of Greedy and Eggman serious or does Greedy plan to back stab Eggman?
I saw this picture in the Ristar Cluster site a few days ago and I've been wanting to ask you if I could make a sprite sheet of Ristar's father based on this drawing you did of him. Credit will be given to you of course.

I think it would be a situation where both Greedy and Eggman plan on double crossing each other, I mean with a name like Greedy I doubt he'd share anything XD That and Eggman's never been known to do that very well either XD And yeah, that would be awesome, go ahead.

Excellent, thanks. I don't know where the sheet will end up once it's done. But when I find a place to host my sprite sheets, I'll let you know.

I was suprised that Ristar was kinda popular in the past few years when lots of people made pics of him in deviantART

Oh, yes. If Ristar's Father was such a champion, how can his son replace him? Did the original hero pass away when Ristar grew up?
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
I don't know if he passed away, maybe just passed on his title to him once Ristar was old enough.

Plus! Every hero has to retire sometime right?????

I thought it was Ristar's father at one point XD Excellent work

What new powers does Ristar have now that he's older?
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Beats me, it's just something I drew after played WAY too much Ristar.

Here's one thing I know, Ristar could possibly be the Legendary Hero's predecessor.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Then, I'll take chances & say that Ristar grown up MAY resemble his father.
