Description
edit: I forgot that i had wanted this tinted ever-so-slightly blue, so I guess i did thatLIKE GUESS WHAT SONG I LISTENED TO ON REPEAT LOL
hint: it's not on the soundtrack booo, and it's ben played 77 times in my itunes
MY LEGENDIA OTP. <3
...I feel like I should have more to say about this, but I really don't.
I hate backgrounds. Can't you guys just use your imagination
And I realize that things aren't...lining up perspective-...well, but I really didn't pay attention until after Shirl and FenFen were already colored and I didn't want to do any more work.
(and you can see I got super lazy doing the flowers so I just kinda gave up. TRADITIONAL SHADING IS MORE FUN 
)...Yup. Used official pictures to get the colors! I like how Shirl's hair came out. I started off coloring with some experimenting but after like, the third layer (of, like, 3000 I LIKE LAYERS.) I forgot. |D
I wish my tablet would always work, then I could do digital commissions too. ...After I like, got better and stuff. Later. Don't make me do it now.

I like it~. It looks like something you were drawing when at my place, ha ha. 8D
I like the flowers, even if you didn't take much time on them or whatever. They're pretty and glowy and yaaay. 8D I also really like the eyelashes on both the girls.
Though I have one question, because I think I'm seeing this wrong:
Are all of Fenimore's five fingers on Shirley's head? If so, which it the thumb? Like all look like...long-fingers to me.

XD But that one had nudity. This one is SAFE FOR WORK.
XD Yaaay. Thank you.
The thumb is the one on the top. The angle of the joints in that pose make the thumb curve in a different direction from the rest of the fingers (which I...didn't draw very well) but it would come up to just about the top joint on the index finger in that position.

That's quite pretty. I love the coloring. It's a very touching scene.
(I wish my tablet would always work too!)

Aww, thanks. It's from a certain part in the game that makes me swoon and all that. (But then while I'm swooing I'm also giggling like an idiot at the srs bsns lesbian undertones.) I can show you the video, if you like. XD;; It's cute, and sad, and cute.
(stupid tablets! We paid good money for these!!)

Ha ha, my computer's speakers don't work. xD I could use my dad's, but I'd rather not turn it on to watch a video when I should be doing homework too. ;_;
(I KNOW!)

aww, so cute! I love it even more now that it's colored!

Heehee, thanks! I love themmm.
so um yeah when I eventually get to your Alice/Decus picture, I'll try and do it digitally and hopefully it won't suck.

"Helping Hand" is one of the shorter ones isn't it? ;3 There's some really good TRACK-WORTHY ones like "Lonely Night" that mysteriously got cut (and if you'd bought the CDs, you got saddled with a silly Disc 3 with two audio dramas. Yes, TWO.)
Yay, pillows.
(I always thought FenFen/Tulip were unusually tanned for a otherwise all-pale, blond-hair, blue-eyed race. I guess they needed SOME variety?)
Background's lovely, IMHO~ (and I know they look diff, but mentally? Glowy flower at night = "Harriet"...) 8U;;;

also hahaha even after replying to this (and before..) I have 47 messages in my inbox.

Yeah, it's the bittersweet-ish piano one that always plays between these two. ...or at least during one scene.
Yeah, I have the CD. YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKES LEGENDIA, JERK. I had to lurk around on youtube to get a bunch of other tracks though, what the hell guys?? If you're going to compose music this wonderful, share it with everyone. You have a whole third disc you can put the tracks onto.
are you making a boobs joke
Hmm.. They're not, like, black in an all white cast or anything. All the official art is kind of weird though.. If you look on the trading card poster thing, Fen's got like the same skin tone as Stella does, but then in the screenshot with Stella, Senel and Shirley there's very little difference between Stella and Shirley... But then in the screenshot with Fenimore and Shirley, there's a bigger difference and Fenimore looks kind of orange... ...But Fenimore and Thyra aren't extremely extremely darker(and I thought the "diversity" was in...shades of blonde, but my rllife shirl wig is in more of a fenimore color because i am against the color yellow. |D). We have the Bantam Bouncers for that
Hahaha, you're silly. The background's awful. And now that I'm not half asleep when I have motivation and my tablet isn't dying, i'll fix the bushes in the back so the leaves look more like...the amount of effort I would put into traditional stuff. I was just rushing to finish this because my tablet was starting to freak out again. (And installing the most recent drivers just make my photoshop panic, so it's probably just an indication i need a new tablet. Maybe.)

Btw! I "ripped" some of the music off the game (but because someone on youtube already did that, I'm not sure if I still need to share my collection?) I wanted to, but it still requires a lot of tweaking ::been holding off on doing it for over a year now:: |Dc
That's not a boobs joke. At 0:33. THAT is a boobs joke.
Oh ToL and your silly stab at official art. I mean sure- the Fujishima character sheets are bland as hell, but at least cosplayers can *work* off of those. (not. that. people were racing to make their Legendia cosplays all over this country)
(You know, I think Isabella IS the only dark-skinned girl in the entire game) this considering how many there are on the males' side. :U
Intuos 4. Costs the most atm, but perhaps the best investment.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... i might be missing some, actually. XD;; I just took whatever I could actually download off of youtube (so I'm probably missing a bunch of battle themes...)since I only have 15 or 16 that aren't from the soundtrack. ...Also if I had the power/patience/intelligence to rip things, I'd be getting dialogue! What greater way to know I've recieved a text message than to hear Grune say "Charge!"
what the fuck was that i don't even
The KAWAII DESU Symphonia ones aren't so bad, and Esteelllleee but please Team Symphonia, take the game mechanics you're so good at and GET TEAM MELFES' ART DIRECTION. Pretty pleasseeee. ...Also secretly, ever since I played the game I really, really wanted to be a Norma cosplayer but I didn't think my sewing skills were up to the job until last year, and then Rosiee beat me to it.
(Now that I think about it, there are a fair number of darker guys ESPECIALLY FOR JAPAN GOOOO TEAM MELFES though they must not have a very good understanding of genetics since Will's daughter is just as white as everyone else, and Elsa's also super pale and this time I won't let unexplainable anime disease excuse it.)
So, why exactly is Intuos better than Contiq? I'm sort of using price as an indication here since I'm a NOOB, but it would seem like actually drawing "on" the surface of the picture, even if it's a lap...version, would feel more intuitive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(oh right, i should reply to this huh) ^~
....IN REVERSE ORDER.
I haven't tried Contiq, but considering I've been using a Intuos Wacom II (which has pretty much been discontinued... XD) for coming up on 6 straight years and it keeps on ticking, I'd say their brand builds a pretty solid piece of hardware. :3
MAYBE THAT'S WHY LEGENDIA GETS HAET'D ON. RACIST GAMERS (or, at least, BIASED TOWARDS LIGHT-SKIN GAMERS). Haha, Elsa's conveniently inexplicable anime illness (AND SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE ONLY 13 AHHH). Harriet was so ticked off at Will that she not only chose her mommy's last name, but her genes too, duh.
Oh Estelle; cuh-raaaazy outfit + relatively lazy, uninspired hairstyle... ^~;
(you can be FLASHBACK NORMA, during her academy dayz .....and you can carry around a chicken egg.)
Maria-sama ga Miteru...? Catholic schoolgirl romance...? ^^ You might like...! *ludeshka suggest calling it a "manner-punk" series. The homepage is even called Gokigenyou.com . XD
I'll... have to ask LJ ppl if they want it too (GOSH THE GAME IS ABOUT TO TURN 5 YEARS OLD THIS MONTH).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I have a BAMBOO FUN which is probably the one family member that kind of sits in the corner and plays with its food and tells awkward stories about day-to-day things with no punchline
Elsa's only 13? No way. She's at LEAST 15. I won't fall for your liesss
Also i hate to tell you this but uhh, aren't Estelle's and Chloe's haircuts, like, really really similar? I mean I will defend Legendia until the day I die but I mean, Estelle has pink hair (...and like the same hair as me but not colored oddly) so it's not...too terrible? In my notexperthaventgraduatedartschool opinion.
*adds new yuri title to mental list.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
......yah dunno about the Bamboo line. ¯×¯
:< I think my only real hangup with Estelle's 'do is it's just... a bit plain for a princess-to-be. Princess-wise, Natalia had some some swirly flairs and holy crap @ Agarte from Rebirth . But, sure, Estelle makes up for it by being RAWR SWORD CHICK (...at least until the player wanted to change tactics and turn her into a staff chick... T_T)
Speaking of, you need to invest in a long pink wig, y/y?
Imma gonna try and have a few Maria-sama prints with me. And everyone will be liek "WTF IS MARIA-SAMA. O LOOK AT HER CUTE VOCALOID MAGNETS...!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh, I UNDERSTAND. ...Damn, my princess character has really boring hair AND clothes... Though now that I think about it, she's the princess of a city that has like, no money coming in, so... Maybe it's okay. Holy God Agarte looks insane in the..way of insane-looking characters. Yes. Good thing I don't want to cosplay her because holy god. DO ROSES EVEN COME THAT HUGE? IF I WERE MAKING THAT I'D BE MAKING. EACH. INDIVIDUAL. PETAL. Maybe, regarding Estelle, I should point out that I often forget Estelle is a princess, except when i look her up and her entire name pops up in google's suggestions. I guess princessley designs should look...princessey LIKE DOROTHEA FROM AVALON CODE [link] *hates self for wanting to make that outfit so bad*
That is the case, yes
XDDD hahhhaah. oh man hopefully I can just sell out of them really quickly and we can bring them up NEVER AGAIN

I kinda had that same problem with Doc in my comic. XD; (POOR CITY! PROBLEM SOLVED!) Expect to see crazier forays into (lolz) fashion design in the coming chapters for all my characters, current and yet-to-appear! (Not to mention my half-baked justifications for them) >___> A FAIRY GODMOTHER DID IT.
(H'OMAIGAWD @ Dorothea) ...isn't it funny how the more dolled up princesses are, the more forlorn they look? |D THEY JUST WANT TO BE. PART OF YOUR WOOOORLD~
Word of mouth spreads quickly enough...! I think it was your Rozen fanart(?) that drew in friends of friends of customers? |Dc
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD I will be excited! I finally got around to redesigning one of my characters (again) and it was very, very badly necessary...
R-really? Well... Dorothea acts really happy and immature and not-quite-aged-in-normal-society... That picture's just a strange expression for her. Though now that I think about it I don't think I've ever seen fanart of her with a smile. I'll need to fix this. Also I really hate Natalia's princess outfit.
I thought it was me yelling "OH MY GOD SHINKU!!!! SHINKU!!!! COME LOOK AT THIS!!!!! SHINKUUUUUU!!!!" And fortunately they were all in a group together.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I could just wrap up this b/w comic earlier and then proceed to the "sequel" with a whole new look. |D
Hehe. Never-ye-mind the fact that Natalia dabbles in so much blue and turquoise and white...
(but yeah I've seen accurate cosplays of that outfit and it's still meh)
Let's hope for more opportunities to yell at people... |3
(Gotta start whipping up some doodles for how the whole display will go)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha! But what you're doing now works for it so well. Unless the sequel is supposed to be 3,000 years in the future
i love blue and turquoise and white, and not just because of legendia
Man, yelling at people is the best way to advertise.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just don't know. We'll just have to seee what happens when return customers start coming to us. For MOAR. MOOOOOOOARRRRR. :U;;
That said, our table is going to be nothing BUT Ferines colors y/y/y?
Helps to cosplay characters that scream a lot~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Other than Rosiee i doubt I'll have any return customers that i'll recognize by appearance. or who will recognize me by anything fff---
YES. We need to buy a blue tablecloth. I'll put a white trim on the bottom. or a ruffle ffff oh man.
Hahahah. Senel. Snrk.
