New Illustration from Nohara Hayashi for the Square Enix Calendar!
My character, Dal Mei, from Crystal Chronicles.
I sketched him a while ago and wanted to give the sketch the full color treatment it deserved. Done in Inkscape with my mouse, I'd estimate about 20 hours of concerted effort.
Don't let his wistful ocarina playing and his pretty necklace fool you, he's a chaos gremlin and whatever the fantasy equivalent of a jock is. (For best viewing experience, put on "Leaving the Body Freely" from the OST)
OMG this is how my FFCC plate painted on ceramic looks after the baking and glazing steps! I'm relieved that the colors are actually vibrant after all aaaah.
Can't wait to have it in hands and use it for real. 8)
Chapter 1 Part 1 has finally been uploaded, I'll eventually go back and reupload it because a couple of the graphics pages are incomplete and there's a couple text-related things I'm not entirely happy with, I just really wanted to get this out.
Chapter 1 Part 2 coming eventually (it's already translated, it just needs to be edited), I'm going to be taking a break from this for a bit.
Toshiyuki Itahana bids farewell to Square Enix with Crystal Chronicles art
Throughout the years he's posted artwork and little doodles with the characters of the original game in his social media, including a Yuke-inspired avatar of sorts. I just hope this isn't the end of that, as he's kept a little part of the Crystal Chronicles world alive, and I'm always happy to see the game also stayed with someone like its character designer.
lost my old save of crystal chronicles so I'm restarting (it's a easy thing to play when I'm sick) so here's my new character Iolite
kind of sucks I have to start from the beginning again but oh well I'll get back to where I was in no time
I've been playing the Crystal Chronicles remaster and my partner and I gave personalities to the caravan members.
Vanille:
She wants to win her father's favor.
She believes that Genka is a threat (its not)
Genka:
He joined the caravan out of honor.
Otaku.
It scares women his age (in love with Vanille)
