Artist's Comments

Funny how I had a Star Ocean 2 idea when I am currently playing Star Ocean First Departure (PSP).

*mild spoilers* This is one of my favourite scenes in Star Ocean 2 Second Story where the dragons just possessed poor Ashton. I believe everyone else didn't assist Ashton in killing the dragons because the cave was narrow. Ashton ended up possessed after he turned around to Claude and company who were cheering for him during the fight, somewhat, if I recall that right.

When I was first sketching this I had Star Ocean EX character designs in mind, since I'm very fond of Ashton's EX design. However, I thought it'd be nice to use SE designs, especially when the game's nearing its English release. Took me awhile to get used to Ashton's SE redesigns, though. The dragons have simpler look in SE - here's hoping at least they looked like dragons in my style, lol.

The background was a tremendous challenge! I tried to go for the cel animation style look where you know, they have those detailed enough backgrounds but with cel-shaded characters. The cave background didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The colours looked too dark, don't they? Celine's face is hardly visible..

Comments/crits are very welcome. I'd love to know what you think! It's been so long since I last enjoyed doing an artwork! I feel terribly down lately, so I cannot draw something I liked; even a simple drawing for someone else is pretty hard.

I played the first one but i think was the second one was the best one of series although the third game was amazing but that plot twist with the eternal sphere change storyline completely. I just hope they don't push date up again for "Second Evolution" I could of been playing it right about now!!

Yes yes, Second Encounter is just a remake of Star Ocean 2, with new voice actors, and anime sequences added. :)
