[uniguinflutist]

So during my playthrough of Dragon Quest XI, I named my hero character "Shen Yuan" for kicks and giggles.

For those who don't know, Dragon Quest is a video game series whose designs are done by the late Toriyama and is a massively popular series in Japan. It's the prototype for every medieval fantasy JRPG.

Dragon Quest XI in particular follows the selfless chosen one/lost prince, The Luminary, as he battles the forces of darkness to bring peace back to the magical world of Erdrea. The hero is a blank slate for you to project yourself onto who doesn't talk or emote for most of the game. The "official" name for the protagonist is Eleven.

Now all I can think of is if post-canon SVSSS Shen Yuan/Shen Qingqiu re-transmigrated to Dragon Quest as the famed protagonist and now instead of being the villain who has to avoid a bad ending, he has to deal with the pressure of being the Messiah of a fantasy world that everyone expects him to save.

Meanwhile, everyone's confused as to why Shen Qingqiu (who is really Eleven the protag) is acting so bland and quiet.

The other peak lords all assume it's another qi deviation, but Shang Qinghua and Luo Binghe figure out pretty quickly that this isn't the Shen Qingqiu that they know. Someone was forced into shizun's body, so Shizun must be wherever they were from. So Luo Binghe grabs Xin Mo and travels to Erdrea to find his beloved shizun.

So Shen Yuan's party gets to the World Tree to fulfill the hero's destiny and defeat the Dark Lord, only to find that Luo Binghe has already defeated him and is desperate to bring his shizun back, wrecking everyone else in the process.

Shen Yuan/"Eleven": BINGHE, I HAVE A WORLD TO SAVE! I'M THE PROTAGONIST NOW!

Luo Binghe: NOT ANYMORE! I TOOK CARE OF IT FOR YOU, SHIZUN! NOW COME BACK WITH ME!

I find it funny how folks write the Luminary from Dragon Quest XI all serious and melancholic. Which, fair, guy's been through a lot, but did you talk to anyone in the Cobblestone of the past? The Luminary is a mischievous little shit and I wish that was more represented in fics.

2023 sketchdump, part 6 - Treasure Planet, Dragon Quest, Semi-original

Traditional sketches of tentacle-haired sirens. Definitely had the scene in mind from The Little Mermaid where Ariel sings the Part of Your World Reprise as Eric wakes up. Also inspired by The Sinking City, just in general. "Mair take you" and all that :'D

Some practice drawing Luminary from Dragon Quest 11. The top left one is referenced from the game, the rest are some stylistic variations.

Full-body sketch of Milla.

Partial lineart of an earlier submitted, traditional sketch

Sketch of Milla and the antagonist. Though I originally intended for him to be human, for some reason I keep imagining him as Thrax from Osmosis Jones, and tried leaning on that inspiration a bit. Still don't know how I manage to make him look like a capital C Creep. Text reads: "Sweet, uninformed, vanilla little Milla..." I'm assuming the rest of his line is supposed to be a mic drop of some sort, but have I written it? No

The entire arc with Sylvandos merry men MY GOD

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH

Dq11 au, where the protagonist really IS the Darkspawn. Hear me out.

Erdwin was sealed away inside the luminarys star alongside the Dark One to save his life after Morcants betrayal, so he never actually dies and thus can not be reincarnated. Unfortunately, the lord of shadows is still very much a threat, so the world tree has to do something.

Yigdrasil decided to take all the negative energy it had from all the souls inside it to purge itself and imbue it into a single soul. Soon after, the prince of Dundrasil was born with a pitch black version of the luminarys mark on the back of his hand.

The fall of Dundrasil plays out as it's supposed to in the original timeline, up until a group of monsters are drawn towards an infant floating down the river and feel compelled to raise it as thier own.

Moreover, Mordigon has no idea that the luminary of old is technically still alive and fully believes he needs to find this child.

Years later, word spreads of a child ruling over the ruins of Dundrasil with an array of monsters...

OKAY AGAIN SPOILER ALERT FOR DRAGON QUEST XI

I don’t want to go back in time, I don’t want to go back in time, I don’t want to go back in time, I DON’T want to go back in time, I DON’T WANT to go back in time, I DON’T WANT TO go back in time, I DON’T WANT TO GO back in time, I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK in time, I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME

I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME

I DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME

WHY ARE THEY BREAKING MY HEART LIKE THIS?! I know I have nothing else to do in this timeline but the fact that I don’t get to bring my friends along SUCKS. I want to bring my friends with me, I want them to remember the adventures we had together. I know they’re still gonna be there in the past but they won’t remember any of the times we had during act 2.

I’m really sad, I will be keeping a save from this timeline but still I dunno how I feel about this aspect of the post story yet.
