Artist's Comments

I painted this a few weeks ago ~ I know I promised to draw Piers after Felix but it's currently stuck on my bro's computer~if it takes too long to get then I'll probably paint him again :D
So..for now you have Ivan from the Golden Sun games ^__^ He's quite popular for some reason...although he's so very weak in the game -_-

watercolours and ink
2-3 hours

really?? I guess I'm not too good with game tactics but Ivan is often the first to die (only after my first party is wiped out first of course) cos he has such a weak defence! But her can deal a lot of damage since he is super fast :S

Thanks, Ivan always striked me as a youthful little kid :D

I think it's pretty good, though I'm not sure of the clothing o.o Are the clothes loose like that? cause I guess it's the missing shoulders I'm trying to speculate. Just a bit flat I suppose ^-^; Since it is a portrait, I'll just leave it as that ^^;

There would be more shoulder (in my imagination :XD) if there was more page space. I guess the shoulder looks like it's missing because I was trying to do a 3/4 view so with foreshortening the far shoulder would appear shorter *_* Just try to imagine on our left, his shoulder would be longer ^^;
His costume looks like that~I didn't design him ^^;

Ivan! Well, I think a part of his appeal comes from the fact that he is weak... People like him because he's the youngest male character that's closest to a young kid... if he was as strong as Isaac, he would appear less... cute, I would think.

I adore his hair. It looks different from how it normally does in the game, but the general look of Ivan is still retained. He has such a nice, lively expression... I rarely draw teeth, but you did a good job here. It has that realism-anime clash that's been very popular in the manga movement nowadays. Of course, I've always envied your watercolor skills, so that goes without saying. But I have to comment that I specifically noticed the smooth, broad colors you used that made this picture stand out. Superb coloring job :D
