Description
I just can't do it. I can't pay decent tribute to my favorite character of all time. It's just beyond my ability. This will have to do.Well, enough of that. For those of you that do not know, this is Ghaleon. In my opinion, he is the best villain, nay, the best character ever. This is only a tribute to a single facet of this guy. This is the noble, self-sacrificing Dragonmaster that he was in Lunar: Eternal Blue. However, he is also the kind, mysterious lute-player that takes care of gardens and fairies. He's the dark, dignified Premier of Vane. Lastly, he's the smirking, mocking Magic Emperor.
Sorry to gush, but the Lunar series just means a lot to me. The Sega CD version was my first RPG, and my first real encounter with the anime style. I'm positive that if I had never played Lunar, I would not be here in Japan, and I would not draw like I do now. Kinda seems silly that a video game could be so pivotal.
Anyway, I gave it a shot. I so seldom do hard shading like this, but I like the effect. >< The background, on the other hand, makes me cringe. He's supposed to be standing on a wall in the magic city of Vane, his academic domain. I used screenshots for reference, but backgrounds have never been my forte.
Ghaleon does not belong to me... darn it.

*blown from nostalgia* god I remember those games I first played lunar SSS to eternal blue and he was hard to beat because I was like 9 at the time when I played that he really is under the radar for the most bad ass villains >.>

Wow that makes me feel old. I was around 13 when I played SS and EB on the Sega CD. The PlayStation versions were nostalgic to me.
And yes, you are right, Ghaleon needs more attention ^_^

Yay for Ghaeleon fans! I'm really looking forward to the re-release on the psp here. Been getting back into the games recently.

I've been getting back into the games recently, too! Probably why I drew this...
I can't wait for the re-release either. I'll probably even pre-order the Japanese version, since I'm here. Just gotta figure out how to say "pre-order" in Japanese...

Hehehe. Lucky! I have to wait for it to come out where I live.

Ghaleon's a chump. Sephiroth could take him. Anyways, very good drawing. My first impression of the background was him standing on that annoying puzzle tower thingy you have to go through (with the faerie garden in it).

It's possible that Sephiroth could beat him, but he could never match Ghaleon's coolness. The character development just isn't there.
Hm, you're right. It does kinda look like the Mystic Ruins. That would also make sense because that's where you first meet Ghaleon in that game. I guess he can be wherever you want him to be.
