"Valentine's Greeting"

A Valentine's Day greeting, featuring Anli the Heroing, Kaleb the Hero, and of course, Escad. ^^

An annoymously-sent flower for Anli, an all-knowing Kaleb, and an adorablely oh-so-obvious Escad... Gee, I do wonder whoever could've sent it to her. XD (She'll find out it was Escad, track him down and thank him later. Right now, it's more of an "Oh!" sort of bewilderment.)

It's just a cute little something for Valentine's Day. ^^ I do believe I've rediscovered the joy of working with colored pencils after not working with them and using them for such a long time. ^^ I also got clever and made the actual "Happy Valentine's Day!" a part of the banner in the background. Speaking of the background, I used my copy of the LoM Ultimania for reference – particularly for the town of Domina and its market place. Overall it looks good. ^^ The one thing I have an issue with is that weird flower-garden type-thing... I can't help think that either that one person that lives/works there either has artistically odd choices in gardening, or it's actually Audrey II's second cousin twice removed. XD Then again, the reference I used was a small screenshot in a 600+ page book with manga-sized pages... Some detail is bound to be lost in translation, and I was too lazy to put in the game again to take a look. ^^; That, and I actually finished this while in the student lounge at my college... No copy of LoM to reference. ^^; (Did get a lot of comments from passing students going "Wow, nice colors!") Speaking of colors... I love the bright happy colors and the sketchy-esque shading. ^^ It's juts cute and happy, in my opinion. ^^

Happy Valentine's Day! <3
