Artist's Comments

This happened because at the beginning of Vagrant Story an inquisitor says: "We need no pretext! Müllenkamp is a pack of rogues, hiding behind a priest's frock. We believe them responsible for the attempt on our sovereign's life this Yuletide past."

And then I wondered how that went down. I was certain there must have been violence, and John and Sydney dashing away very irritated with each other, both slightly embarrassed, and possibly there was snow. Click here for further explanation.

Wow...Now this is art..*__* *__* We love the whole theme for this, and the part cartoon/realistic look to it. Great job! :D :D

Ah, your VS work is always amazing! :) I love your coloring, Sydney and Hardin's expressions, and the armor is so Yoshida-esque. <3 Heh, look at all the arrows in Sydney - he's just lucky he's immortal and doesn't end up like Boromir the pincushion of death. Stunning, just stunning.

I can't even point out exactly what it is about this pic that I like so much...maybe it's just the whole thing overall, in which case that's a big deal. I usually only like one or two things about a pic. This is just all around gorgeous! The color, the style, the mood, all of it!

Crazyawesome, right there.
I love just about everything in this piece.
[especially the armor, the coloring, and... Well, Sydney's nose. Don't ask, I just like it.]
Fantastic background. I'm loving all the details that you put in there.

I generally -try- to find some sort of critique-y thing to say... But, uh. I can't.
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, WOW IT'S GREAT.

Owchie! That looks like it stings a bit. Lovely picture nevertheless even if i don't exactly know the story behind it. I envy your ability to draw awesome backgrounds... :)

If I had a nickle for every time I changed my signature, I'd be making money in a very strange way.

I'm only vaguely familiar with Vagrant Story but I remember thinking that I liked the hell out of Sydney('s design). I just love the endlessly irritated look on his face in this, and how casually he's pulling out the arrows meant to kill him! ANd the colouring, of course, is BEAUTIFUL.
funny comic, too! XD

*dies laughing* I checked out the "further explanation" and the bit about him being shot by the hordes of Xerxes has got me rolling around on the floor here!

This is extremely amusing, especially with the attached comic explaining. Any particular reason why you enjoy seeing him arrow'd so much? XD

Now on the subject of the actual painting, I always did like the way you colored skin, and the metal came out very nicely as well. It has a really worn quality to it, like the armor and weapons look as though they'd seen better days.

I am so confused...
