Description To help curb the lull in activity I've been having, I've decided to challenge myself to do stuff on my tablet for at least 2 hours a day, starting last Saturday. And this is the first fruit! I got some inspiration from playing ActRaiser, one of my favorite games of all time... which I beat in 3 hours. :< *groan* Good games seemed so much longer when I was a kid.

I took some liberties with the armor and reduced it to just a helmet and breast plate. And of course, the sword is the Rainbow Angel, back for the first time since "Do Not Want." And with the proper wing decorations, thank you!

Yes, I'm aware that the blue goblins don't look anything like the ones from the game, and they appear in Fillmore Act 1, not Act 2. But once I got going with all the blue during the coloring stages, I couldn't stop. ._.

Never heard of the game, but I've got some spare time, so I think I'll look it up soon

At any rate, good job! And I'm not complaining about all the blue. It's my favorite color

thats pretty crazy, I noticed you moved your arm placement a little bit in the recent pictures.

Oooo I played Act Raiserand it took me a bit to beat that game actually.
( I really liked the boss rush in the end if u know what i mean)

I think i might have to draw that frost dragon or whatever it is.

sorry for gettin off topic but ya I see the insperation in the pic i thought Actraiser mighta gone forgotten.

Oooo and for good music take a look at the symphonic suite that can be found on youtube of Actraiser's ost its some good stuff!

Yeah, the lower arms were slightly too low - and all four of them were too skinny - in "Solemn Contemplation" and "The Azure-Crimson Connection." This one is more correct. They just look high because she's reaching out and leaning to one side. (Seriously, try it! Reach your arm out to your side. The shoulder drifts upward an inch or two.)

As long as I live, ActRaiser will never be forgotten. It was one of the first games I ever owned, and I have yet to find another game that's matched its unique look and feel. A couple have come close (Diablo comes to mind), but none have quite gotten there. I especially like how the ending conveys a deep message about the curious cycle of need and complacency that is the relationship humans have with their protective deities.

Frost Dragon? You mean the Arctic Wyvern? Yeah, he's hard. One of these days, I'll have to challenge myself to beat him without using magic.

I'll keep an eye/ear out for that symphonic suite!

Yes. Sorry, I guess you can't see the tip of it from behind the one goblin's head.
