Description You know when you just get an idea out of nowhere and you absolutely HAVE to do it? Well this was mine about 3 days ago. It happened when the 14 second VS screen theme song from blazblue came on and... yeah. It also satisfied my need to do something colourful after a couple dark pictures.

Redoing the background to that screen has to be the most tedious, time-consuming, meticulous thing I've done since making my DttH templates. I still skipped out on a bunch of little details but it came out really awesome in the end. Not all of it was redrawn though: the giant diamond in the middle is from a screen shot of the screen. Most of the parts I redrew were drawn directly off a reference picture so I really can't take credit for it.

Drawing Luke and Asch was so much fun and for all that I intended to try and shade them in the same style as the Blazblue art... I didn't bother and just went with my own style.

You have no idea how much doing this made me want a Blazblue style game with Tales of characters. lol - since I've got the screen part all done.. you may see a few more match ups.

lol! I approve of this!!! 8D Although, here's something to think about, like all of the Blazblue characters, they have their own "symbol" of sorts right? I wonder what Luke and Asch's would look like^^''

Yay! I love approval! Asch and Luke would be relatively easy as I suspect Luke's would be the symbol from the back of his jacket and Asch's from the front of his tabbard. Characters like Guy and Jade are a bit more fun to ponder. It's a pity Lorelei doesn't have any symbols other that the symbols for the Order of Lorelei which are relatively boring.

yeah thats true o.o Although for jade, it could just be the Malkuth's symbol couldnt it? o.o or the planetary fonic art glyph? o.o

Malkuth's symbol could work *nods* XD talking about this makes me want to do more of these match ups.

SWEET!!!!! That came out so AWESOME!!!!!!! Seriously, great work! I totally love what you did with Luke and Asch, the shading is so deep *coughandsexycough* and the recreation of the screenshot looks fantastic. Though, I can imagine just how tedious0 that was to do. Your crazy but amazing at the same time.

Thanks!! I'm super proud of it and really happy with how Luke in particular came out. His expression took some tinkering with but I finally got it just how I pictured it, which is rare. Love!
