Description Its been a lil while..but it thought i would post sumthin newer since i've recently fallen in love with the Japanese painting program SAI It feels so good to be able to finally ink with a program thats flows seamlessly with the tablet.

I dont know why Photoshop isn't as smooth for me but i will be using this for just about all of my digital inking and some painting from here on out.

Thanks to for pointing it out to me!

i can never get enough of drawing Ruel, so much fun...so here's !!

Does it work if you've done another art of your own character that's not the profile? Because in that case I have one here: [link]

Oh lawd I'm in love with his design. You designed a really cool character.

I really love that pose. Very dynamic. His right (or our left) leg is my favorite part of the picture lol

Oh, Wild Arms 5, I finished it. There was some sweet music during the last fight. And a sweet movie fight scene a little before that. I'm not gonna get Crossfire I don't think.

About you character, he reminds me of the lead in Samurai Champloo, Mugen. But in an African way. LOL

Y-you beat it?! dang i wish i had time to get into it..yea cross fire, since its strategy based, which might not be that cool. But who knows...

Yea i do see him doin' fighting moves like Mugen, in some ways...thanks for the fav as well!

Kokayi5 In reply to Rikyo [2007-12-11 15:54:18 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I talked with this a lot with my little brother. Wouldn't it be sweet if the next Wild Arms (6) was an action/rpg like Kingdom Hearts or Dark Cloud 2? That'd be great. Imagine controlling Jet (WA3) in a Act/RPG way!!!!!
