Artist's Comments

Long time no see, guys. I've been flat out, work has been taking up a large portion of my time these days(same as everyone else!) and my own personal output has diminished greatly T__T

anyway, I've been working on this bookplate design piece over a couple of weekends, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. :D

Heavily influenced by a couple of my favourite artists of the Art Deco & Art Nouveau periods; Gustav Klimt and Alphonse Mucha. There was also a Taisho Art exhibition in Sydney recently which I went to check out, which was fantastic! When the Orient meets Deco the results are just beautiful :)

But yeah, those influences and my undying love for this game resulted in this picture hahaha. Fans of the Shin Megami Tensei series will probably be able to pick out the DSRK elements as well as the Nocturne elements. I'm such a big nurd.

All digital. I drew Raidou in Mangastudio, and the rest of the elements were drawn and coloured in Photoshop.

I can see the RK referance....but I haven't played much of Nocturne so all I'm thinking is the very bottom bit of this that looks like a candle holder remind me of Nocturn >.>

Art Noveau tends to have more emphasis on balance. Besides that, great job.
