Tales of the Abyss Artes (OT)

Haha...I haven't posted any art in forever. *lame*

I'm currently working on a 4 part series, illustrating a few of the chars from Tales of the Abyss performing their Mystic Artes. Fufufu...

Part 1: Luke fon Fabre

Part 2: Jade Curtiss

I'm also planning to do Guy (Brilliant Overlord) and Tear (Fortune's Arc). Their second MA's are so freaking fun to use in the game. Bwuah.

I'd like to do some art of Ion & Sync as well, and perhaps Legretta (Regret). We shall see.

Well, I'll tackle the Jade one, since I already commented on Luke's. Since I haven't played the game, may I ask what exactly the spell is? (I assume with the pose, it's sorta like he's already cast it and is admiring it's destruction.) He does have this "I'm so cooler than you" vibe. But personally, I think his hand sorta gets lost with the darker background on that side. Could just be my monitor, too. But it does blend in with it a bit.

Other than that, great coloring again. The different shapes give it nice detail and I think it's a unique shading style in that sense. Looks like this will be a nice series of pics.

Indignation is like...a whole lot of freakin everything, but I think in the end it's a thunder spell. Lordy knows the cutscene for it is long enough (but it's freakin awesome, so it's okay).

I can see the hand well on my monitor, but then again lcd screens sometimes show things lighter than normal. I had a print done today, and it did turn out a bit darker. Not so much to bother me, though.

Thanks so much. o/
