@indigozeal sent me a surprise SKULMUST present and I'm over the fricken moon OuO
Tumblr media
The full set of Lunar chibi keychain figurines!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I never thought I'd have even one of these guys, let alone the entire set of six, since American ebayers tend to demand $300+ for a full set.
But indigozeal picked these guys up on one of the Japanese auction/2nd hand sites for a reasonable price!
(Which is not helping my resolve in regards to avoiding getting addicted to yahoo-japan again ahahaha... what if I managed to find the Lunar model kits at a good price?? Haha nah, impossible. ...unless.......)
They're so stinkin cute, they make me wish I had Blender and 3d printing skills so I could make the rest of the cast in a similar style ;;~;;
At the very least, I'd like to get them 3d scanned with my Ghaleon punching Puppet head, so other folks could print and paint their own... :3c
I've kinda lost track of who said they could scan for me, tho :o maybe I need to look into 3d scanners myself at this point... :B
ANYWAY! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH, @indigozeal !!! I adore themmmmmm!!! >u<
Tumblr media
Ghal: I love and appreciate my good kids.

Alex: ...what did I do??

Sometimes you don't realize how much you love a character until you've tried drawing them.
For example, Lucia from Lunar 2. I liked her well enough before, but now that I've actually spent some time doing study sketches of her--holy crap I adore her actually??
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She's so shapey and fun to draw :3c <3 I seriously love her. >w<

Completed - Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete
Tumblr media
Never sleep in the nude. Especially not when an emergency might happen. Like, say, a home invasion.
Have you been keeping up with the latest hot debate in video games?
Recently, video game publisher Naoki Yoshida revealed a perspective that surprised American audiences regarding the term J-RPG. While seen in the west as a classification of a certain flavor of role-playing games produced in Japan, it is seen as derogatory and reductive to Japanese developers, particularly in how many people use the term to mock design choices in both the game rules and story structure. Which, man, it sucks to hear that it causes pain and sour feelings. Like, a lot of the best video games I've played fall under that categorization. Hell, I grew up in the era where Japanese companies were the most trusted and revered in game development. I'm not saying that the likes of Nintendo, Konami, and Capcom are perfect little angels, particularly when it comes to overworking staff members. But, even today, I still have a positive bias towards Japanese games and developers. Hell, that was my first major link to a culture outside my own. To think anyone would consider them inferior when they both saved the goddamn industry and continue to make major contributions to it is infuriating.
It was definitely a weird time to play "Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete," all things considered. Because man, is "Lunar 2" ever the most game of that game type.
"Lunar 2" takes place about 1,000 years after its predecessor. A silent threat is building behind a false front of benevolence, triggering a strange woman to come blasting to Lunar to stop it. She subsequently gets nerfed so hard that even a paper weight could take her out. Lucky for her, a hero named Hiro (lucky that!) comes to her aid. Through various tribulations, Hiro, the strange woman from the Blue Star, and their friends manage to quell the rising threat without using the same destructive power that once killed an entire celestial body. And then, when the strange lady ditches the planet to return home, Hiro re-discovers space travel to reunite with her.
Like, buddy. She says she loves you, then ditches you hard enough that you have to create NASA? Maybe think twice about this.
Are you old enough to remember "The Grand List of Console Role Playing Game Clichés" website? Like, pre-TVTropes TVTropes? This game could literally be that list codified. Like, there are several rules on that page that are named after both "Lunar: Silver Star Story" and "Lunar 2" characters and situations. It's not to say "Lunar 2" is derivative, necessarily. A lot of the party members are creative in the same way that a teenager's fantasies are brashly unique. It's just what you'd expect out of an RPG story. Church bad; dragons good; Satan's a thot; only your girl is pure enough to fight them.
"Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete" gets strange when put into the context of time. Like, this remastering was released in 2000. This poor game was released in the same year as "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" and "Final Fantasy IX." Like, holy shit, right? It's wild how much technology varied between 1999-2001. Absolute cowboy years of gaming. I can't find sales numbers for this particular variant, but if it were sentient, I'd have to imagine it took to drinking with "Wild Arms 2." What a rough time to roll out. Hell, depending on how you look across international markets, even the original game would have had spicy competition from "Shin Megami Tensei" 1 and 2, "Final Fantasy 6", and "Phantasy Star IV." Aspects from those RPGs might make this one look sweet and baby-faced by comparison.
There is one major structural difference between "Lunar 2" and most games. This is the inclusion of its post-game epilogue, where Hiro strives to reunite himself with his lost love. Honestly, this may have been one of the earliest games to try this narrative structure out. Like, it's so unique that I thought this was added to the Playstation version to quell angry players of the Sega CD version. (It's not, but more on the Sega CD version at the end.) It's probably most comparable to "Tales of Graces F" or more recent "Pokémon" games, in terms of content addition. Despite some hang-ups I have about Hiro's relationship, I do think it is critical to play through. It's an additional 15-20 hours on top of the 24 it took you to get to it, but honestly, it feels wrong to let this plot thread hang. Might as well do all you can!
Like its predecessor, "Lunar 2" has a generally likable cast. Most of them are flawed, but still endearing (particularly, alcoholic gambling addict/ex-priest Ronfar, assassin-turned-dancer Jean, and money-hungry, driven mage Lemina.) Even some of the villains are surprisingly kind, once you kick their ass. (Although, Lunn and Borgan probably should have had some subsequent ass beatings for what the hell they pulled. Fucking karma escape artists.)
There was one major character hang-up I had, and that was with the main heroine herself. Like, I get that Lucia is a weird space girl from thousands of years ago, so she might not have the best sense of social cues. But, there are several times where she tries to ditch the party to continue her mission alone, only to end up putting either herself or the party in danger. She initially bails on helping a sick baby because it might take too much time. She gets weirdly prudish as she starts falling in love with Hiro, which seems backwards. Then, there's the whole ditching humanity to go back into a freezer to wait for the Blue Star to recover. Like, hello? Girl? What the hell? Did you learn nothing this entire time about working with humans to accomplish your goals? Could you not have learned about agriculture or the fine points of sustainable space travel? Did you think any less of your goddess for going mortal and abandoning both the Blue Star and Lunar? Do you think any new life on the Blue Star would automatically revere and listen to you like in the past? How are you a princess of a dead planet? What's the governance on that? Is this mike on? Hello? 
Oh, well. At least she didn't nuke anybody.
The gameplay of "Lunar 2" is pretty much the same as it was in the first game. It's mostly mazy dungeon exploration + turn-based combat + inventory management on lean funds. I didn't have to stat boost Hiro as much to get through bosses this time, but there's definitely an item in the epilogue that makes stat boosting totally spammable. Absolutely worth it. While Lucia is in your party, you have no control over her actions. It's weird (and honestly irritating in some circumstances), but comparable to the Sega CD variant of Luna from the first "Lunar" game. I don't think you'll find anything too surprising here. It's just mostly about stacking your dominoes in the right order.
The engine for this game is so similar to the first game that I literally encountered the same audio-loading hard lock bug. This time, it hit with a vengeance. Like, if I did not own a disc repair machine, there's a good chance I would not have been able to beat this game. The discs were just in that rough of shape. I guess I can't blame a game for failing if its physical media is melting into sludge. It did make for some frightening moments, though.
Seriously—don't get into physical media collecting if you're not going to put the work into keeping your collection functioning. A lot of the games I like are running on consoles that are between 20-40 years old. It's only a matter of time until a clock battery runs dry or an electrolytic capacitor blows or even a disc reader fails. You've got to be ready for when that happens. Otherwise, you're just making an elaborate garbage pile.
Media degradation isn't the only way this game is rough. A lot of the translation is very of-the-times. Which, for the late 90s/early 200s, means that there is a significant amount of crude language. Like, I gave "Final Fantasy VII"'s translation shit for Tifa's single R-bomb. Ronfar is handing them out like party favors. I'm assuming if you're reading this on Tumblr, you're also well aware of the international discussion of terms used to describe those of the Roma ethnicity. And, okay. I want to be a good international citizen. So, I try to be mindful about the wrong term in the same way one has to be careful about using Eskimo, Indian, or Oriental. And then, Jean literally shouts "Gypsy magic!", and I end up snorting pop up my nose. Like, goddamn. Times really change, don't they? And that's not even getting into one character being solely dragged for his weight! Shit, man.
Oh my God. Anybody remember that bit with the woman in Zulan having amnesia and forgetting she was a mom? That was pretty fucked, too. Like, imagine how horrific being in that position would be for all parties considered. Although, I guess that’s also the plot to "Overboard", in a way. 🙃 Jeepers. Times change, indeed.
This is a minor nitpick, but Hiro's run option was driving me nuts in game. I'm used to using it like you would in an old "Pokémon" game to blast through everything as fast as possible. Hiro's run is very limited. Like, maybe 4-6 tiles out limited. Also, don't expect to gain any invincibility frames from it. The damn thing is really near useless, especially when trying to evade enemies. But, I guess it's there, so…thanks?
If you are interested in playing this game, definitely play "Lunar: Silver Star Story" first. It does add a lot of meaning to the game, although you could probably follow along without that experience. The Playstation version of this game is a must, particularly for those in the NTSC region. I mean, those of us in the U.S. are used to companies dicking around with international releases. There's beefing up enemy stats and increasing item costs, and then there's consuming the experience points used to beef up spells so that you can save your game. Like, okay, Satan. As if 40 hours of grinding weren't enough already!
Whatever you decide to do, I hope you come away from this introspection with at least one important thing to remember. Keep your games clean. And I don't mean linguistically. Although, it can be thoughtful to do that, too.
There's no reason to shit up the world before Space Satan does it.

Caught myself thinking bout Lunar 2: Eternal Blue and the character arc of the Dancer character becoming a martial artist and that wildness of jrpgs has sadly calmed down a lot since console generation 7 (ps3/360) and we won't have characters just, dropping their skill sets and build mid game and change to a completely different character...

December
With the year coming to a close I knew I wasn't going to get everything I wanted to finish or even try done, but I still had things I could do of course.
Drawing is the easiest as I can do that anywhere. Both of the ones I did this month took from 15-20hrs start to finish. But something was going to get in my way...
At the beginning of the month I was hit by a car on my walk home from work. I managed to walk home and at the insistence of my husband went to the ER to make sure nothing was broken. Thankfully nothing was, but healing is and will take time. That said I couldn't craft because sitting normally at the table hurt my knee a lot. Even sitting at my desk at the office killed me.
Thanks to a coworker who found a step stool I could elevate my leg with a little bit, I was able at least return to drawing some.
After doing the redo of Luscia in the lake (inspired from a screenshot from LUNAR 2 Eternal Blue) I wanted to reimagine it slightly.
Tumblr media
And this is what I came up with. Lus had just stepped into the water before turning her gaze to the moon and this is what Dem sees. I am very proud of this one, especially the scales. That took A LOT of patience.
I have been resting my leg since the accident and I finally deemed it well enough to try and sit at the table for some crafts. I will say sitting with my knee bent for two hours isn't ideal as it became very sore and super stiff. So, if I was gonna craft, I was gonna need to take breaks and the squishy I started was the best way to force breaks since I needed to wait for the paint to dry between layers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you guessed I was making Keith's wolf, Kosmo, than you wete correct! I have mad respect for those who do these on the regular, this was not easy. But, for my first try ever I think he came out great and super cute!
And as the year got closer to the end I wanted to draw at least one more pic.
Tumblr media
I made a glamour inspired by Bayonetta and just had to draw it. Originally I hated it, things just looked weird, but then I doodled a chibi version (no pic to post. I haven't scanned it) and went back to it and I actually really like it now. I might change a couple shadows, but yeah, I love it.
And as of 11:30pm est, I finished my friend's FFXIV figurine I started a year ago with Nerdecrafter's Not Another Crap Kit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I had the whole idea of making it look like he was in the middle of the lotus from Scortch. The petals are a little skewed, but I made it work with what I had. The method I had watched didn't work as the tape that the wire was attached to completely cured with the resin instead of being able to be peeled off. When it didn't work after three attempts I decided to freehand a mold and that worked more or less, I still cant quite get them to hold the bendy shape, but for my first attempt I think I did okay.
I'm so proud of myself for actually completing my New Year's resolution. It was fun and I learned a lot. Just because I don't finish something right then on the day I started doesn't mean I never will. Sometimes things just won't work and require more research or an alternative to see it through.
Here's to more art in 2023, whether it be a big project or small, stay creative! 🖤❤

Lucia from Lunar 2: Eternal Blue complete.
One of my favorite games growing up, and there is NOT enough artwork of it…maaaan! Lunar 1 has been rereleased and even remade a bunch of times. Can’t they at least remaster and add Lunar 2 to the PSN store?
(Or make a Lunar 3? *Wink wink* *Nudge nudge* *hint hint*)

Ooh, you had a Game Boy Advance? Was Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 (great name, by the way) your childhood? It sure was mine...

((Nope, the only Mario game I finished, believe it or not, is Super Mario RPG: Superstar Saga. The other Mario game I played is the classic one, and Super Mario 3 NES.

Working on the graphic for @lunarweek Lunar Week 2023! Got distracted going thru my personal archive of official Lunar art, by this Mauri wallpaper from the "All the Lunar" cd-rom...
As far as I know, these are the highest quality in-game character portraits that were ever released in any form. And as far as I know, all we have are a handful of Mauri's.
But that assumption is 100% based on what Lunar-NET has to say about "All the Lunar", which is where I downloaded this wallpaper from in the first place... The thing with "All the Lunar" is you have to play a bunch of mini games to unlock graphics and wallpapers, and while Lunar-NET's contributor says that what they have uploaded is baaaasically all that's in the program, they also admit that they HADN'T unlocked EVERYTHING.
So, what DIDN'T they unlock? Could there be more of these? Hrmmm...
There's a rip of the cd-rom on the Internet Archive, if anyone feels like 100%ing it and finding out if there actually is anything else we don't have:
But I kinda suspect that for whatever reason, Mauri was the only character to get their hi-res portrait featured. Which makes me wish SO VERY BADLY that an EBC artbook had been made!!! ;;n;;
I wanna see the hi-res art for the rest of the in-game portraits so bad:
