This one’s an older one, but since I’m going to be posting quite a few of my other past pieces, I might as well release this to the world.

It was originally going to be just Asch, but I thought he’d be lonely, and why would I ever want to leave Luke out of this? Funnily enough, after I finished the drawing I remember thinking to myself, “Why does it look like I put the expressions on the wrong guys?”

Actually, don’t ask about Luke’s hand, I was running out of steam after trying like 5 different poses and I had to settle. Just don’t look at that hand.

Asch gets a Big Hug.

Remember how dramatic it was when Natalia never got over the events at the end of Tales of the Abyss and led Kimlasca as a dark villainous queen, feared and adored? Yeah, pretty cool.

Asch - Tales of the Abyss

This one was 95% drawn and painted at work 😅 (there is... no work to do, so boring, I ended up taking my Switch after not even 2 weeks at my new workplace)

I couldn't have all my reference pics on my computer and looked at them one by one on my phone, with all the details being different from one pic to another so it was tough 🙃

(Proof that I was drawing at work xD)

Highlighting the cover of Found, the Aschtalia comic I did for Abyssweek 2022. I haven't done any lengthy-ish comics like that since, and I'm still pretty proud of that work.
