Sandy Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Yesterday I released a brand new comic called FINAL FANTASY LEGO: Crystal Hearts in the Comics and Brickflicks forum. I've also made some artsy images illustrating the various characters featured in the comic, so I thought it'd be nice to show them here, along with a short introduction to each character. The Main Characters: The former Court Mage is a fierce spirit who will do anything to protect those she loves. * Age: 29 * Job Class: Black Mage * Weapon: Dagger The beautiful demeanor of The Orator's assistant hides many secrets. * Age: 34 * Job Class: White Mage * Weapon: Rod This happy-go-lucky youth is the grandson and the sole heir of The Orator. * Age: 18 * Job Class: Dragoon * Weapon: Lance After losing everything, this mercenary mage sold his soul to the highest bidder. * Age: 28 * Job Class: Red Mage * Weapon: Broadsword The sagacious leader of the Speakers of the Truth has a mission to bring down the Junta. * Age: 60 * Job Class: Sage * Weapon: Wisdom The Summoned Spirits: Shiva's Crystheart was found from a hidden temple in Kalla Whitewood in Part Two. More characters will be added to this list as the story progresses. As for the minifigs themselves, I made the decision to use fleshies in this comic because of the added realism they give to the characters. I'm still using only official minifig parts without any modifications aside from switching out hands, arms and legs. The main characters all have several "outfits" for different situations as well, so I hope nobody gets confused about that. Creating new minifigs out of different combinations of pieces is one of my favorite things to do with Lego, and I've sure gotten to do a lot of that for my comics. Quote
Enpaz Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 I don't know how those characters look for real, but they look great anyway! Great job on combining both decals and genuine Lego parts! Enpaz Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Those are very well made purist customs Sandy, I love 'em! And fantastic job on the photo editing, extremely well done! Quote
Sandy Posted January 1, 2011 Author Posted January 1, 2011 I don't know how those characters look for real, but they look great anyway! Great job on combining both decals and genuine Lego parts! These are actually all original characters, not from any game or anything. And there are no decals used in them, they're all 100% genuine Lego parts. Quote
Cygnet Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Brilliant work! I really like the presentation with the digital backdrops. Do you have a Flickr or Brickshelf account displaying your other customs? Quote
Sandy Posted January 1, 2011 Author Posted January 1, 2011 Do you have a Flickr or Brickshelf account displaying your other customs? No, Eurobricks has so far been the only place where I've displayed my MOCs and comics. Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 These are fantastic Sandy, I still need to read the story so I'll do that some other day Oh hope you don't mind me asking but where did you get the legs for Brisigne?, I've never seen them before. Quote
Sandy Posted January 1, 2011 Author Posted January 1, 2011 Oh hope you don't mind me asking but where did you get the legs for Brisigne?, I've never seen them before. They are the legs of the Kingdoms king and prince. I'm very pleased that I found out that combination for Brisigne, since the legs go together with the torso so perfectly. Quote
Enpaz Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Yes, they go together perfectly! That's why I thought Brisigne utilised a decal. Ingenious! Quote
Sandy Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 Part Two of the comic is now online, titled "Diamond to Dust, Love to Ashes". There are no new main characters featured in the chapter, but you are introduced to one of the summoned spirits familiar to fans of Final Fantasy series. There will be several more encountered in later chapters. Quote
