Description
You could have lived with us... in our world....slight spoiler warning in the picture, but it's nothing that no one has probably figured out/seen before so w/e
Originally this wasn't going to feature Lloyd with his wings. Then I changed my mind.
...I really don't have anything funny or quirky to mention. I drew this this afternoon after completing the game for the eighth time. And, like the seven times before that, it still go to me, and I was still choking up at the end.
So I really have nothing else to say, because this piece is, in actuality, very personal to me, and it's a long story because I don't want to go on a whole rant about how this game changed my life.

Wow, how big his wings are! I like it how you've used just two simple colors, black and red, the result is pretty nice.

I like how this piece came out. 
There are a lot of lessons to be drawn from Symphonia and the rest of the Tales series, so a lot of my Tales work is really personal to me too. I can sympathize with that sentiment. ToS is right up there with "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" and "Super Mario RPG" on my list of video games I will love forever.

Thank you very much! For the compliments and the detail; detailed compliments always help point me in the right direction as an artist. I'm glad you like it.
Yes, there are. of all the Tales games I've played, there's at least one, if not more, life lessons I've drawn and applied from them. They're one of the reasons I am who I am today, I suppose.
And Ocarina of Time was an amazing game. There's something 'time'less and classic (pun not originally intendted, I swear

You're welcome!
Yeah, video games have made me who I am at least in part too, and my favorites are the ones I learned the most good lessons from. Hence why I love Tales and Zelda so much. They have so much storyline to them that they're almost like interactive fantasy novels.
By the way, have you played ToS: Dawn of the New World also? That one has another set of powerful themes and endings, and I almost like it better than the original in a few ways. Only a few, though -- some other aspects of the sequel were really annoying.

Awesome! Nice shading and coloring! Tales of Symphonia has definitely changed my life too. I guess it's just that kind of game

Thank you!
Yeah, the game is pretty powerful. Any game that makes you sit back and go "whoa, I need to do something different" is a great game.
