Description Hey there! Long time no post!

Anyone ever played the Tales of games? During these games, there are moments known as Skits where you see portraits or faceshots of the characters talk about things. They aren't part of forwarding the stories, they're just times where the characters are just being themselves. Being RPG style, you're moving a whole party at once, but you just have one character on-screen until battles. Ever wonder what the party is like together and how they get along? These skits answer that question. Some are serious, a good number are funny, and they help the player really get emotionally invested in these characters, 'cause it's just them showing what they're like.

In that regard, I've done something similar with Ryo, here. I'm not sure what he's being told, but given his wording, there was a matter he didn't deem worth much thought. But someone's convincing him otherwise. And if it's trouble, best be on your guard, Ryo!

If anyone's wondering about this armor he's wearing, it's part of 's story that's in the works, where majority of our OCs have migrated to. In this position, he's the "Burning Paladin", which is the champion of the land who wields a magic blade of holy fire. The armor comes with the sword, being like hot metal and scorched cloth in appearance. When he's wearing this, he's on duty and expecting a fight.

I'm putting this up here because I'm quite proud of how he turned out and Ryo hasn't been playing ball for me when I want to draw him until now, so here he is with concept armor at that ^^ Hope you all enjoy it!

Aaaa bby I'm sorry I meant to comment and love these ages ago. I'm sorry these comments are so dumb and late.
I really like the posing and expression and Ryo's size here doesn't bother me personally. <3 I know the focus was more on the armour (Which was tweaked... how many times? I forget. xD), but I like the image from all aspects. ^^

I'm glad you're posting stuff, too. <3

I'm happy you did comment x3 Thank you~ (Not dumb!)

Awe, thank you much ^^ His armor's been a WIP for aaaages. Think he should appear in it again sometime soon?

You're sweet, I'm glad my art pleases. x3

Thanks ^^ the armor underwent a LOT of variations before a final concept was decided!

That's cool to hear. I do like hearing the behind the scenes about stuff like this.

This makes me want to see other skit portraits too. xD I love the concept of those for the same reasons you've pointed out.
It's really nice to see Ryo again! His new armor there is looking fantastic from what you've shown. I love the addition of the sun details. Those go so many ways in representing him! If he works with you again, I'd definitely like to see the full armor concept. c:

You two have come a long ways with your OCs too, wow. Just seeing the love, care, and fun you two have with your OCs is really inspiring too. c:

More skit portraits? I think I can make some more. ^^ Skits are awesome, aren't they?

Thanks ^^ If Ryo plays nice with me again, I'll do my best to get a full body shot. I have a chibi version that includes his sword, but I'd like to actually fit him into a non-chibi version to really show scale between the sword and himself. I'll try to get that!

Awe, thank you ^^ We do have a lot of fun and we love our crew. I'm glad that can be seen!

I prefer Ryo's old bigger build, TBH.

Well, yeah, he does look a bit smaller here, but understand I haven't drawn Ryo in a long time, so I'm not as in-tuned to the shape as I used to be. But the focus was on the armor, as this is a new concept and one I feel is close to the finished idea. I'm sure he'll be back to more his usual build if he keeps letting me draw him.
