Done in Open Canvas

Yay!!! 1st piece in the year 2006!!!! And damn.... it's not original art.....

I'm still obsessed with "Tales of the Abyss"at the moment, and of course.... with this guy *points to the pic*!!! Gyaaa~~~ Jade~ I love this guy much!!!! He's so evil~~!!! (I have zero tolerance against smiley evil guy)

Anyway... a bit of info about the character for those who might be interested.... He's Jade Curtiss from the new Tales game "Tales of the Abyss". A colonel (just like Roy in FMA ) from the Markt Empirial Army. He may look like (and act like) a nice smiley guy, but he's also known as "Necromancer Jade" and is feared by all soldiers. He's a very powerful "fonimar" (basically, magic users in the TotA world) and also a genius. Oh and he's 35 btw.... *dies*

... I suppose some might find it strange as to why I choose to use red as the background colour. Actually I picked it because that's the colour for his eyes. Originally I was going to have the background in white and only colour the eye in the background in red, but in the end I changed my mind and filled the whole thing in red instead. I have been wondering what Jade's eye colour is suppose to be, since in the anime cutscenes of the game and the original character sketch have his eye colour as something like reddish brown. However in the actual game model, they appear red. I thought it was because of my TV colour balance is incorrect since his sister appears to have light brown eyes, but then later I found out there is something about his eyes that made them red.... -_-; So red it is!!! *dies again*

Oh and that funny greenish thing appearing from his hand is a spear (he fights with a spear). He can make it appears and disappears at will.... really reminds of FMA when I first saw it....

EDIT: Ooops.... Forgot to say.... I'm dedicating this piece to Thank you for all the TotA goodies you have shown me!!!
