Description So finally made a full sketch w/ character and bg. It has been years! I tried to sketch characters that people offered in the journal I posted but then I ended up drawing this little wingly. Definitely feel out of practice. But it feels so good to get something done from sketch to color.

I've been wanting to draw Meru from the Legend of Dragoon for a long time. I love her design. This is the first real video game I fell in love with. Still love it to this day.

AGREED!! I loved so many of the designs from Legend of Dragoon, especially Meru's. The music was absolutely brilliant as well! One of my top faves still so far.

Yeah it's funny. I've owned that game for... maybe 15 years or so now? NEVER beaten it. Every single time something happens. Once my Disc 3 had a scratch and I couldn't get past a certain part. Once my memory card got stolen and I lost the save game. Once I moved and lost the game. Bought another copy, and then the last time I played through I had bought the game used and the 4th disc was missing. T_T

I actually just got another copy recently and I am determined to beat this game if it is the last thing I do. lol

Yay Meru from the Legend of Dragoon! She's so cute you captured her so well. I really love her outfit you got it right on. Oh this game came a great time for me, I'm still so fond of it.

Thank you so much!! I know! It's crazy that with how old the game is it's still so much fun. I started another playthrough a few months ago but I can't remember which disc I left off on.

It's so good to hear from you again! I hope everything is going well for you.

This actually turned out veeeery nice!!!! You did a great job on the details on her outfit (THEY ARE ALWAYS SUCH A KILLER) And I love the background, especially the colors used. I also like how it pays homage to her hometown. x333 Great job!

LadyWinter In reply to Bekeilske [2013-04-27 08:14:17 +0000 UTC]

Aww thank you so much!! I am so glad I finally sucked it up and drew her and yes, all those killer details in the outfit. XD That's the biggest reason I've always avoided drawing her but really wanted to at the same time because I am in LOVE with her design.

THANK YOU!!

Wow! Lovely creation you have here. And the background is the Wingly Forest. Nice touch.

Wonder if you'll create the rest of the girls for this game?

Thank you so much!! Yes, I was having trouble figuring out what to do with the bg but then I thought this would be quite suitable. I originally was going to draw the area where she first appears in the game.

I've been considering doing more of the characters/girls but I haven't made any official plans yet.

Donau? Eh.

Although it is the place where she could have gotten the bouquet, depending on the choice, starting from resting at Twin Castles.

I'm not familiar with the character, but it looks like you spent time putting all those pattern details into her outfit.

LadyWinter In reply to silamir [2013-03-21 03:35:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I wish they could remake it so bad - improve the graphics, add some voice acting, and have a writer rewrite the dialogue (since it can be on the cheesy side). Make it even better. The game probably has one of the best game soundtracks I've personally heard. I have played it a few times and tend to put in 80h for a playthrough. haha

silamir In reply to LadyWinter [2013-03-23 01:46:35 +0000 UTC]

Hehehe. I think I've probably heard the music when a friend of mine and her brothers would play and she would call me while she or they were playing. It would get stuck in my head sometimes. hehe

D: ps3 is backwards compatible for ps one games!!!! That's what I replayed my copy on! They just won't play ps2 games. Aside from some of the very first original ps3 models. :3 You should totally replay it!

what do you use for coloring?

LadyWinter In reply to MyWorld1 [2013-03-18 04:37:21 +0000 UTC]

Prismacolors...but I use the watercolor version and use them like regular colored pencils. Plus I use a colorless blender. =3

LadyWinter In reply to MyWorld1 [2013-03-18 05:52:06 +0000 UTC]

Exactly. I had asked for them for Christmas years ago but the regular set wasn't available at the time they went on sale so I just had my mom get me these and I got used to them.

MyWorld1 In reply to LadyWinter [2013-03-18 06:09:07 +0000 UTC]

I haven't tried any other type of prismacolor products beside the regular pencils and the art stixs, but I'm sure they're very good quallity

LadyWinter In reply to MyWorld1 [2013-03-18 07:42:40 +0000 UTC]

I bought a few regular pencils and the smoothness is almost weird for me because I got used to the watercolor ones. XD

MyWorld1 In reply to LadyWinter [2013-03-18 17:17:25 +0000 UTC]

haha I'm the opposite! Any other colored pencils I have such a hard time with because I got so used to how easily the regular prismacolor blend together.. I try to do it with others.. but it doesn't work

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

LadyWinter In reply to MyWorld1 [2013-03-18 17:30:59 +0000 UTC]

I definitely agree on that one! If I started with the regular colored pencils I know I wouldn't want to use anything else. That smoothness would just be too addicting.
