Because of its release on Nintendo Switch, here is Isaac the MC of the original Golden Sun! With the Venus Djinni.

I want to play the games again. 😊😊

Last year was Golden Sun’s 20th anniversary so I made an illustration for the occasion (I signed with my other artist’s name); big family vibe! (but where is Kraden? :/)

Happy 20th Anniversary to Golden Sun! This game was a very, very huge part of my childhood, and even now, it still holds a special place in my heart  Still dreaming of a remake of the first two games from Camelot one day!!

Notes under cut:

When I started brainstorming this, I knew I wanted to set it in Venus Lighthouse, the final dungeon for the first game and one of my favourite locations in Weyard. The lighthouse aerie was the obvious pick since the final battle happens there, but I... wasn’t sure if I wanted to draw the Fusion Dragon HAHAHAHA. Besides, it’d be fun to have multiple enemies for the team to face.

So I selected one of the puzzle rooms, with the iconic ‘shove the pillar down so the sparky spark from the statue can go through and open the door’ thing. I had to take a lot of creative liberties, though; there’s only so much you can extract from the pixels of a GBA game TTwTT 

I chose the Grand Golem and the Willowisps to use as enemies. Originally I’d wanted to use the Wild Gryphon, but the size of it with outstretched wings would take up too much room, taking focus away from Procne (which was the summon I knew I wanted to include). So I picked the Grand Golem.... and nearly regretted it because holy hell the thing is BRIGHT FUCHSIA....... 8′D I turned down the saturation a few notches in the end.

The djinn and Procne! I’ve always really, really loved the concept of djinn, with the set, standby, and summon options. Set will allow your folks to receive the stat boosts of their djinn, but standby allows you to prepare them for summoning... And not to mention, the class changes from those that give you different psynergy! I definitely wanted to portray that in my art. The third Jupiter djinn Ivan is calling to summon Procne ended up kind of hidden behind in the wind though SOBS. 

Onto the main cast! I decided from the beginning that I didn’t want to give them their official art weapons because A) Garet and Isaac’s swords are sheathed anyway and B) It’d be cooler if I could give them actual in-game weapons! However, there was the problem of ‘all you got for references are the low-rest pixel icons’...

With Isaac, of course the choice is the Gaia Blade. This sword has a noticeably unique shape to the blade, but otherwise looks ordinary in the icon. I drew reference from the Dark Dawn model, as well as the Titan Blade unleash, for slight designs and the gold colour =D 

For Ivan, I probably could have gone with a staff, but I wanted to give him a light blade because swords are just cool. So he’s using the Kikuichimonji, referenced both from the icon and the Dark Dawn model (which has a blue-ish blade).

With two of the best swords taken, the question was Garet. But I think I always liked the idea of him using a cursed weapon, since he’d very much be the kind to go ‘OH LOOK A COOL LOOKING WEAPON’ and pick it up and then realise it’s glued to him forever HAHAHA. So I gave him the Demon Axe. Just imagine he has the cleric’s ring under his glove! 

Mia was given the Crystal Rod, which is admittedly not really a weapon I’d have given her for endgame. But the other weapons for consideration, Blessed Mace and Righteous Mace, I couldn’t get references for :’( also i just really like staves/rods because they pretty In the end I picked the rod because it also appears in Dark Dawn.

That’s all for the ramblings of an overly obsessed artist/gamer. Thank you for reading!
