Ivan

Who: Ivan
What: Golden Sun (Game Boy Advance)
How: Graphite scan, Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0
When: 2008

Notes: There's been a disturbance in the wind...

You know, I'm not sure what compelled me to draw a character from a game I haven't played in years. Inspiration takes its forms in surprising ways. Regardless, here is Ivan looking older, wiser, and (hopefully) stronger. Maybe he's actually powerful enough to survive boss battles long enough to be rewarded with exp now!

When I try to draw serious subjects, it never turns out looking how I want it to. I'm so conditioned to use an unnaturally bright color palette, when I say to myself something like "Bridget, draw Ivan walking through a dark, creepy forest!" this is the result. So everyone do me a favor and pretend he's in a dimly illuminated wood instead of an innocently bright and sunny day.
