Artist Comment: Sorry my art has slowed down, my current computer is dieing on me so not been able use the GIMP program to color my art. It really killed the mood to draw anything at the moment as a result. I am currently have one built, so hopefully I'll be back in action soon.

However, since I've been slacking figured I'd at least doodle something and share it. I know my line-arts are not to great...but something until I get my new computer.

Once I get it I might color this, to make it better.

----Image---

This is an image of my character "Ike Miles Vanguard," my main hero/protagonist born with the bloodline of a race known as the Valkyrie Knights, female warriors of light whom were created and served the Goddess Aura. Ike is the child of the Valkyrie Marisa, whom was the Valkyrie of Light and leader of the Valkyrie Knights, as a Valkyrie he takes his mother's name to honor her name. He was the first Valkyrie to ever be born a boy, his bloodline hidden to protect him for those that seek to destroy that bloodline. However, when exposed to Aura/Mana energy it awakes that hidden bloodline causing Ike to transform into a Valkyrie/Female.

By Ike's time he is the last of the Valkyrie Knights, as he fights to restore the land to light and bring justice to the fallen Valkyrie...taking their form and advantage of each of their abilities.

((Fun Fact: The idea was originally based of Breath of Fire 2 with the Shaman system transformations.))

In this image Ike in Valkyrie of Earth form, which he takes the form of a mouse. The Gemstone around Ike is fused with the essence of Valkyrie, whom abilities he wishes to take after, which results in the transformation. So instead of becoming the standard Valkyrie of Light/Vixen, he represent a mixture of himself and that Valkyrie.

I actually changed up the gemstone giving a little more detail to go along with it, the wings and rim along the gemstone, to give it more detail then just a gemstone alone.

I'm also teasing the idea of having Ike with a scar again, which got lost during my shift to my style. However, its been part of his character for years, so trying to find a way to make it work in the new style...without coming out looking bad.

The staff is the same one as the image I did before, just to practice on it more. The sword is new, and would be a secondary weapon she use. The idea is it was given to her after saving the forest form a sickness killing it...by the spirit of the forest, thinking from the top of my head. XD

The little gem stone is an accessory called the "Goddess Tear," which increases the might of Magical Based attacks, which is Valkyrie of Earth main focus being a Mage Class.
