ArneBab@davidrevoy wow, that’s beautiful! By the way: Are you in contact with the folks from The DORP? They created an RPG based on classical JRPGs and the graphical style could be a good match: https://www.die-dorp.de/index.php/artikel/blog/2423-mystics-of-warte-mystics-of-gaia
@ArneBab Thanks Arne! I'm not in contact, but we have a passion in common for Secret of Mana I guess. The aesthetic of that time had a big footprint on my style and with time, I'm more and more heading to this art-direction without even thinking because that's my happy place. 🙂
@davidrevoy Then it’s no wonder that I like your art so much. The first song I ever wrote was about Seiken Densetsu 3 :-) (secret of mana 2)

@ArneBab Thanks! I really like the second one too; I also liked Legend of Mana. But I never played to Sword of Mana on GBA or the Dawn of Mana on Ps2 (but I remember I always was very interested by its graphics).
I haven't explored all the possibilities with all characters on Seiken Densetsu 2; it's one I could play only on Emulator; but I keep a very good souvenir about it. And the songs, the design, the graphics... I so wish I could one day be part of RPG like that 🙂
@davidrevoy I did not play all, but in hindsight I realize just how much they did right.
Today we talk a lot about having both genders as playable characters. Then I look at SD3 and realize that they had 6 characters — 3 male, 3 female. With awesome plotlines.
@davidrevoy They even managed to have personalized plotlines (not just experiencing the male story, but better looking, but rather experiencing a story tailored to the specific character) without having their plot complexity explode.
