#I’m iffy on lionheart’s design

[sketchyallstar]

Pencil sketches of the latest two characters to join the Mystechs, my OC superhero team. I’m not sure how well this will turn out if I ink and color it, so I’ll post this here just in case I ruin it in the future.

Lionheart (Leopoldo Salvatore Aloisio, or just Leo for short) is the youngest son of infamous Italian mafia boss Stefano Thiago Aloisio. The family rose to power thanks in part to a heroic ancestor, a man gifted with divine powers from an otherworldly patron. This patron continued granting descendants of the hero with powers, but eventually stopped one day. In an act of hubris, a descendant of the hero pledged themselves to a more dark patron, demonic in nature. It’s this demonic patron that the Aloisio family now pledges servitude to. Except for young Leo. You see, he was chosen by that divine patron that had chosen his ancestors before him, and the rest of the family couldn’t have that so he had to flee Italy and come to America. Leo uses his powers of healing to make enough money to get by on the streets until he comes into contact with the Mystechs, a ragtag trio of vigilantes.

Galactix is the first sentient result of Kyarus the Blackguard’s experiments with human DNA. Effectively, she is his clone, with some of her body being templated from human body parts. Half human, half Tethrogg. Since Kyarus blew up his home planet, he and Galactix (whom he named Vera) are what remains of the Tethroggian race, as far as Vera is aware. She is his second in command, essentially his daughter though they have a less than familial relationship. Kyarus expects excellence and anything less could get her scrapped, just another failed experiment. So when she’s handed the reigns for the hostile takeover of Earth starting with America, she is determined to not let him down. That is, until resistance pops up unexpectedly. Effective resistance, which was not part of the plan. These “Mystechs” or whatever they call themselves will pay for their insolence, Galactix will make sure of it.

Well, here we go; I haven’t taken many pictures lately. I did get pics of my pins like I mentioned, but there wasn’t nearly as many as I thought I had, so I got lazy with it.

Fate/EXTELLA: As far as the limited edition box goes, it’s fantastic. It’s made out of very sturdy material with a nice holofoil underneath the printing. Not quite as thick as the Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel Lionheart Edition’s was, but properly sturdy. It has a ribbon dead-center on the right so you can easily release the 2 magnets that hold it closed. Inside the box, you get an artwork cloth, a set of 16 plastic cards, the game box and below that, a very well put together artbook. No soundtrack that I’ve been used to receiving with LE’s, but the Fate series is fairly popular, so it probably had something to do with licensing for the music being disputed or too expensive. Maybe I’m wrong as I’m not familiar with the Fate series, but I kind of doubt the lack of soundtrack will bother me. Standard games: These are the standard edition games I’ve snagged recently. Stealth Inc., Oddworld: Strangers Wrath HD & Lone Survivor from Limited Run Games (Oddworld came with a little paper map that’s unfolded in the pic) and Shovel Knight from FanGamer (pulled the instruction booklet out to show that it’s included). The instruction booklet is actually in color regardless of what the front cover depicts. Curiously Missing: Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero. I have the Risky Beats edition but completely spaced getting pictures of it. I’ll have to get pics for a future post. I’ve played through the game with Shantae so far, and it’s damned fun. It’s shortish, but the rest of their games are as well. I liked the design of the mermaid queen. Atelier Shallie Plus: If I was paying attention, I would have received this today along with Fate/EXTELLA. I, however, combined my preorder with another game, so... I won’t receive this ‘til mid March. Happy that I’ll get it though, seeing as how expensive Escha & Logy is. I have more Vita games coming. I have GOD WARS, Skullgirls 2nd Encore, Summon Night 6, A Rose in the Twilight and Operation Babel: New Tokyo City preordered. I’d also like to get Stein’s Gate 0 and Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X, but I’m iffy on them, so I’m looking for them to drop below $20 if at all possible. There’s also more games coming out that I haven’t thrown down money for yet, like Mary Skelter, Period: Cube, Akiba’s Beat, and Zero Escape: The Nonary Games.
