Description

Finally finished my secret santa for :iconnakajima-hotaru:!!! Part of the Tales-themed secret santa event at :icontalesof:!!! It's a little bit late since haha;; my art always seems to take way longer to finish than I predict it would these days x.x;; I've started having bigger expectations for myself and push myself harder now... but it makes it tough to make deadlines doing it that way lol;; Ah well, better late than never, right? 8D;;

Anyway, my person had Balan at the top of her wishlist but my Xillia2 artbook lacked a ref of him so I put her second and third choices, Jude and Ivar, in the picture together \ o / Headcanon that they eventually become really good friends after the events of the game :iconlaughsplz: I could have done something simpler to save time but it's been a while since I did real Tales fanart so I wanted to return to the Tales fanart world WITH A BANG!! Also I always loved Ivar so wanted to make sure his rare appearances in fanart was done as best as I could :heart: haha when doing the extra dungeon in X2, the first NPC skin I got was Ivar one BECAUSE GOTTA MAKE HIM PLAYABLE. SERIOUSLY NAMCO.

I hope you had a great holiday season and you enjoy this art, Nakajima-Hotaru!

Jude and Ivar in their Tales of Xillia 2 outfits x)

And to everyone else waiting on art from me, IT IS SOON. This month I'm making owed art my focus so just hold out a bit longer :'D Also I won't be doing much commenting/replying for a bit because really need to focus on finishing some things during my computer time ahhhh o<--< Too many WIPs and not enough finished products...

Honestly I'd be so surprised if Ivar ever swallows his pride and becomes friends with Jude.
Then again he's one of my least favourite Tales Of characters so I don't really have high hopes for them.

This is really nice by the way. I love what you did with the shadow and light tones, I always struggle on that so it's refreshing to see something like this. =)
