Description "I've learned one thing from all this-- Now, more than Myria, I trust you, Ryu..."

This last line that Garr says to Ryu before they go up against Myria... it made me wibble.

So yeah I've been replaying Breath of Fire III. It's the first time in almost 7 years, apparently. I drew Garr the last time I did, too XD He's buried deep in my gallery. I love Garr so much. And this time around I have been thinking a lot about his relationship with Ryu. I think that Garr is sort of a mentor/father figure to Ryu. The fact that they sit the exact same way when Ryu is grown? I think it's so cute.

There is not a lot of art out there, of Garr. Of course, he's my favorite character. I love this character type... The broody, soulful anti-hero type... And he's a big ol' boy, I love me some big boys. I think he's so fascinating, and I want to explore so much more of his character. What the fuck did he do with himself for those 400 years? How did he fall in with Balio and Sunder? So many unanswered questions!

I actually started writing a fic all those years ago XD I even gave him a love interest (she was Balio/Sunder's sister, I know, I'm so damn original), but that didn't get too far.

Anybody else dig this game or even remember it? My hubby was so kind, listening to me rant about it for ages, lol. Eri doesn't really care much for RPGs.

Yeah, I really liked Garr too. I thought it was cool how he fought so fiercely to end Myria, even knowing his life would end with hers.

I guess when you live for 400 years, dying's not that big of a deal though, lol!

I really like the colours on this, as has been already mentioned in other comments! it shows a really nice harmony between cold and warm tones.
I'm afraid I don't know the game, though! : P

yaay thank you so much for the compliment

The game is very old... from 1997! They rereleased it on the PSP recently, though. It's one of my favorites!

you're welcome, I'm glad, that I'm not the only one who noticed, that Ryu sit in the same position as Garr XD

I'm sure they did that on purpose! There are so many other ways they could have had him sit.

Love it! And the coloring is fantastic It's nice how the blues are over one character and the red the other... whether or not that was intentional still creates a good mood for the image!

Awesome stuff, as always!

Aaah, thank you! I'm glad you like it; I haven't used pastels in AGES and I wanted to play with them again. And yes, it was somewhat intentional. Ryu (the little guy) is supposed to be just slightly cast into more shadow... He has a big decision weighing on his mind.

Then you did a good job portraying his mood
