Description Finally decided its time to submit since its been awhile so heres the final of Sophia Esteed. I worked on this with as little free time I had to work on it.

I had to reduce the image size by alot because the file size was so immense for an 8x11 image and I had alot of layers on this image over 50 layers at one point and the pixel size was like over 2500x3400

I did the Star Ocean Logo through Adobe Illustrator CS and the background image of the moon and earth through Photoshop CS it was kinda hard to find an overhead view of the Earth and then I also found an orbital image map of the continents covered by clouds. and then i put both maps into Photoshop laying both of them down on top of each other with the continent map below the cloud map layer and setting the cloud map layer to screen

I did Sophia in her white schoolgirl outfit colortwin which you can get through collecting the battle trophies in the Star Ocean 3 game its my favorite of her outfit changes.

I did the symbology symbols using Japanese hiragana and katakana brushes that I found somewhere awhile back ago and thought that be a neat twist to add.

well anyways thats all i have to say about this picture.

yeah doing the earth was hard to do I had to find some really good high res photos of the earths surface and some good satellite resolution images of the clouds.

I could of probably did more with Sophia but I ran out of ideas.

TigerNightHawk In reply to DarkStorm2Bad [2008-04-04 06:32:54 +0000 UTC]

heck yeah but you gotta build her up from Lvl 1 so you gotta always put her in with 2 other strong characters that can protect her otherwise shes a very easy target for enemies.

The White schoolgirl outfit is my personal fave.

DarkStorm2Bad In reply to TigerNightHawk [2008-04-04 11:32:33 +0000 UTC]

Building up from Lvl1 can be tough, but if you keep her out of the way while your beefed-up characters let rip, she can gain 20+ levels in one match! Beauty AND battle trophies!

Personally, I really like the outfit she has at the start of the game, though since the poor girl can't button her jeans up, I can see how it would be impractical for battle.

thats what I do Peppita is another one too. I put Sophia with Maria and Nel and then I match up Peppita with Fayt and Cliff while im at Moonbase and I also make sure that I have Combat Training enabled to add extra Exp after battle.

The unfortunate thing about that is the fury use triples when using Combat Training. I keep trying to get Convert Damage, but I've had no luck so far. I'm not even exactly sure what tome I need to get it

TigerNightHawk In reply to DarkStorm2Bad [2008-04-05 15:32:18 +0000 UTC]

Convert Damage you need you need to invent that or wait for it to be invented by other inventors and it helps if you find the Writing Pen to increase writing talent success I would probably even suggest signing on some writers like Mishell who can be found in Aquios, and Cornelius who can be found in Airyglyph if you dont want to hire on any writers try using Fayt, Maria, and Sophia to invent the book I think those three have the highest writing talent lvls.
