I whipped up something silly really quick, and it looks like it, too. Anyhoo, as you might guess, this is from BG1, when they meet Xan for the first (and, um, the last) time. Xan - Imoen - Jaina (PC) - Edwin.



I just remembered I had actually drawn Xan before this too! I made this pencil doodle for my dear friend SpAE. She actually colored it beautifully, but I couldn't find the colored version! I hope she still has it and posts it here. Ooh, and this drawing still has my "message" for SpAE, too.

[Kulyok]

Aw, it's like Christmas Harry Potter 7 coming early! I'll link this thread at Xan's forum immediately. References to Xan Romance are all so flattering, too!

@Domi: This is aquarel - water colours, right?

@Ilmatar: the doodle looks very romantic and promising - I'd love to see the colored version.

[Ilmatar]

Looks like I really gotta kick SpAE and hope she has the colored version somewhere...

[IronOx]

For all you Xan fans out there, I worked overtime and made this. It's how I picture Xan, personally. A very feminine elven male.

[Menelanna]

A very feminine elven male.

All elven men are very feminine.

Looks very nice. But he is mine. *grabs Xan* My gloomy enchanter! Hear that! Mine!!

[Kulyok]

Pencil and ps filtering but pretty much amounts to the same thing. I'll give a shot to the more portrait-like one if I have a bit of time.

Would be great. This one reminded me both of Xan and Snape - very mystique. (Xnape... ?)

For all you Xan fans out there, I worked overtime and made this.

It showed. That you worked overtime, I mean. Beautiful, and reminds me of Miyazaki's works somehow.

That sure is some good sprite'n right ther. And, yeah, he seems to be a few eyelashes away from being female, heh.

To be honest, I'm not sure I'll be participating in this challenge. Xan just isn't doin' it for me, for some reason . I may take this opportunity to entertain my own ideas for a while. Guess I have some time to think about it, regardless.

[vilkacis]

Vilk... Awesome, as always XD You really have THE sense of humour

And, 'bout that SNES game.. From which have you taken the pic? I admit being ignorant when it comes to SNES (the only games from this platform I play frequently are old FF's)...

Thanks

The game is Shin Megami Tensei (the second one, to be precise) - probably the only game where you can have Thor, Indra, Susano-O, Cthulhu and Metatron in the same party. (I told you it was hardcore!)

Argh! I know that style reminds me of something, but I just can't place it. Fire Emblem? (Nice Xan, by the way.)

[IronOx]

Yep yep, inspired from the Fire Emblem serie. Painful to make but so worth it in the end. I'll try and make the other challenges that way too...assuming I have the time.

[vilkacis]

Yep yep, inspired from the Fire Emblem serie.

Lucky guess.

I have never actually played anything from that series, but I feel like I really should.


[EDIT] Oh, and here's Xan, Phantasy Star style!


(And since he's pretty much invisible like that, here's a 2x size version as well.)

[SpAE]

Il-ma-taaaaar!~ Love you so very much, dear.

this is the color I did on Ilmatar's pic last year, and now I want to redo it. If only for the 'wheee, arts on Xan!' value. Outfit color perhaps not quite bright enough.


I've been lurking this challenge since it started, but this topic - dear god, this topic is finally getting me in and I'll post an entry as soon as these - horrible assessments are done. [/ramble]

This thread? Is full of AWESOME. Seriously dig the sprites so far. (Also, Yousei? Ha! Brill.)


Am also going to be the odd one out here as I've always pictured Xan to be quite masculine/not-pretty looking, just with a gorgeous outfit and fabulous hair (see also: Xan's nose, Xan's incredible pout, Xan's voice actor (<3)).

[Ilmatar]

Thank you SpAE! I knew I could count on you. And I am going to keep you to your promise of actually participating to this challenge!

vilkacis and IronOx - you two are my HEROES. Your sprites are absolutely gorgeous, and somehow adorable. Very Xan, anyway.

[Jazhara7]

Oooh, I love all the entries so far.


Ilmatar, I particularly like the pencil sketch. And the coloured version is great too, SpAE!

vikacis, that little sprite is just too cute.


Morning Glory, yours is great too. Poor Xan!

They're all wonderful!

Sorry, not being artist, I just got to say a few words.

They say that a picture is worth thosand words, but I think that, an image can be destroyed with just four: That is a wererat.

A very feminine elven male.

Yeah, she only needs a boob job. Just like Ilmatar/SpAE's Xan.

If so, the face would be also be covered with fur and thus grey.

Besides, Xan is more ferret than rat.

Word.

When I was about twelve, I got my first computer, Yamaha MSX-2, and I used to make these little cartoons with sprites - a running man, a pair of lovers walking, and so on. The little sprite reminds me so much of these.

And I'll be only too happy to see more, of course.

The banner is one big spoiler! And let me say, that I was really mad at Xan at that point....
