The RPG Heroes

Alternate Title: If Phantasy Star Met Final Fantasy

Anyway, this is a gift art piece for . Awhile back, she commented on my Nanaki the Wandering Samurai piece and surprised me with a gift of her rendition. It was quite an honor receiving such a gift from a credible DA artist like her.

I had wanted to do something for her in return, and inspiration occurred when she posted a poll that involved with an RPG game (Avalon Code I think it was called). From that, we had a long discussion, and I was surprised by how long we talked about video games in general (RPGs mainly). So, here is my fursona all dressed up as a HUmar from Phantasy Star Online (I designed the clothes to kind of look like how the characters dress) while 's Star (Yes, I got to draw him! ) is dressed up as Kain from Final Fantasy IV (the artist's favorite character).

Before anyone asks, I DID use references for both of them. For my fursona, I simply Googled Phantasy Star Online and used this as a reference guide to help me design my fursona's PSO outfit. As for Star, I searched DA to see how other artists drew Kain armor, and I found this one to help me. At first, I was going to go with what I had drawn out based on what I had found, but I went to Google to find this. You'll see where I started to make some modifications before I gave up on redesigning the armor on Photoshop. Nonetheless, I am very happy how they both turned out.

Now I know the background isn't very spectacular, but I wanted to try doing one. I am somewhat satisfied with how it turned out. I wanted to represent both video game worlds by showing how much they contrast yet they compare to each other to an extent. I may not have executed it well, but I hope shows my point.

I believe this is all that I have to say about the piece. Thank you once again, , for the gift you gave me! I'm very glad to have had chances of talking to you about video games and such. You will always be Lady Jeckyll to me. (Hope that didn't offend you )
