“A new age is upon us. A new power is rising. Nothing that Men or Elves or Wizards can do will avail against it. Its enemies are utterly doomed, but its friends… Where is The Ring, Gandalf?? Why do The Black Riders search for it in The Shire? Have you hidden it there? Would you rather The Dark Lord have it…or Saruman of Many Colors??” — #Saruman

Happy Halloween!! They’re attacking the temple!! (I don’t actually care about this holiday, I just needed a reason/inspiration to create a piece focusef on pumpkins) **P.S. All my IG gamers who follow @hypergrav send blessings his way, he may be powerless & possibly trapped indoors from hurricane flooding)
My favorite characters from Shining Force Gaiden III: Final Conflict for Game Gear. Holy crap did I put work into this. Not only were the character colors wrong AGAIN, but I had to redraw them almost completely!! 1) KNUCKLES - Monk with mohawk. Extended his hair & added orange to his outfit. 2) SYLVIA - Centaur knight. Extended & corrected her hair color. Turned her silver armor & red skirt into purples & blues. 3) RUBURAN - King of thieves. Recolored & redrew his whole body, adding shoulder pads, elf ears, grew his arms & boots. Added highlights to his hair. 4) KIDDO - Cutesy lil bird warrior. SEGA colored his body with ugly mustard green so I switched it to the vivrant hues from his portrait. Colored his weapon, tunic & feet. 5) EIKU - Troll villain 6) ERIC - Dragon knight, son of Elliott from SF1 for Genesis. When I first saw these 2 portraits I hoped their stories were tied & they would have a personal duel…Didn’t happen so I made it go down here. Recolored Eiku’s blue skin, drew his tail & switched his armor from yellow to violet PLUS I drew in his FACE! For Eric, changed his scales from brown to the reds in his portrait. Changed his grey armor to silver/blue. 7) LYNX - Villain with a fur-collar coat. COMPLETELY redrew his body & added EVERY color you see. 8) JULIA - Duck knight, her art shows her weilding a sword but in-game she fights with her hands & feet LMAO!! So badass. Her colors were ALL WRONG! Gave her lavender feathers & gold armor from her portrait, redrew her arms & legs plus gave her a shield.
My favorite characters from Shining Force Gaiden II: Sword of Hajya. This collage is special because I revamped most of the characters’ colors since the developers for some reason colored them all wrong. I matched their battle sprites to fit their portraits and/or artwork. From LEFT TO RIGHT, TOP TO BOTTOM: 1) DEANNA - I rarely like the main heroes of a game/movie, usually too boring for me but I like his all-blue-everything, I edited his sleeves and pants, and his hair. 2) GYAN - 1 of my favorites out of all the Shining Force games. He reminds me of Goldar from Power Rangers, which is a major plus for me cuz that’s my dude. I hated the developer’s color scheme for his armor and even his fur, so I turned him into full gold body armor, and turned his fur from brown to black/grey. 3) SARAH - I colored her white cape into yellow, and edited her all clothes below the cape 4) GRAHAM - He’s 1 of my masterpieces, I had to remake him from head to toe. Colored his hair, gave him his true scarf color, added earthtones to his previously-grey armor, and his horse body. Plus his arrow for his crossbow. 5) DAWN - Another complete makeover, I wanted most of her armor to have a lavender scheme, then added some orange to offset it. I took the color of hair from her portrait and gave it to her character’s head and tail. 6) LUKE - I didn’t do anything at all, he was perfect as is. 1 of my favorite characters because he starts out weak, and since I always root for the underdog, I purposely used him alot until he gained more levels and found out he gains alot of strength if you take the time to build him up. It was like a secret I stumbled on. 7) MUSASHI/RUSH - A samurai who was also in Shining Force I for Sega Genesis. I took the green from his pants and added it to his sleeves. He had silver armor which I replaced with the the brown from his portrait. Simple job compared to the rest. 8) JAHA - I changed his arms to reveal his skin, rather than being completely covered in blue armor. I colored in the pot in his head from blue to brown. Always loved that he wore a pot as a helmet, which he would use for cooking in between battles.
My favorite characters from Shining Force II:The Ancient Seal, in no particular order. This is based strictly off image, aesthetic & coolness. Nothing to do with their actual stats or usefulness in game. I favor the weird & freaky. From TOP>BOTTOM, LEFT>RIGHT: 1) SLADE - a rat thief, I love his snide smirk 2) CLAUDE - a golem 3) RHODE - a historian driving a cyclical vehicle with a cannon attached 4) JARO - a pegasus knight aka a centaur with wings, I love facial scars 5) PETER - a phoenix 6) MAY - a ranger aka centaur with a bow 7) GERHALT - a beastman who transforms into a werewolf 8) KIWI - a cutesy lil tortoise who grows into a giant beast (Taken with Instagram)
“I just want to know…for Relm’s sake…” In a 1995 issue of V-Jump magazine, developers of Final Fantasy 6 confirmed that Shadow is Relm’s father and even planned a scene involving Strago confronting Shadow about his true identity. Amazing!! I wish it had made it into the game. (Taken with Instagram)
