What I've been up to lately:
Finished freehanding amigurumi of Shining Force II's Peter yesterday. He's my most complex build yet. While I've definitely goofed in a few spots, I'm pretty happy with how he turned out. 🧶🐦‍🔥

Photo of a crocheted amigurumi/plushie of Peter the Phoenix from Shining Force 2. He's in his promoted form, a majestic and vibrant yellow bird with green and blue accents, his head crowned with a fiery red crest. Peter is seated facing the viewer's left, his wings raised partway as if he's gesturing during a conversation. It's a similar pose to Suezen's (Fumio Iida) official artwork of his pre-promoted form. Photo of a crocheted plushie of Shining Force 2's Peter the Phoenix. He's seated facing the viewer's right with both wings raised high. Unfortunately, the plushie isn't able to stand freely. His wings are heavier at the ends and takes a little more time to pose. His shoulders could have more support built-in to stabilize the wings further.

Shining Inktober, Day 27: Eric
Got a couple new pens for the holidays, which is good, as I should do some studies.

Shining Inktober, Day 20: Balbazak.
Tried a more controlled approach. Armor and mantle clasps're wonky, but I'm pretty happy overall.

Back from holiday break, having jumped back into another favorite hobby. Already thinking about my next pattern. 🧶🦜🐦‍🔥

Shining Inktober, Day 31: Fan Character - Jiji

Jiji started as a Shining Force FC. She'd join the player if they help her and her circus buddies.

Working out of order still, but I'll loop and jump around to finish.

(Belated) Shining Inktober, Day 28: Diane

Found out that I could take my Mono eraser and scrub a good amount of ink (black 01 Microns) off the shiny side of my index cards, even weeks later. Makes inking less intimidating, but clean-up gets trickier.

Well, I've got three sketches in for the end of this art challenge. I'm disappointed I didn't get to everyone in time, but this was a good exercise in trying out techniques. I think I'll still try to finish anyway.

Shining Inktober, Day 26: Anri

The spritework on those spiky wizard pauldrons in the original game sometimes remind me of a pair of dragon heads instead of conch shells. I wonder if offical art of the other promoted classes were ever released in some form.

Shining Inktober, Day 16: Vankar.

Tell'im how you *really* feel, Sir Knight.

Added the speech bubble during editing. Also found out those white Mono erasers can take off some Micron ink while it's still wet and smudgy (I draw on the shiny side of index cards). Had to redraw a small section.
