Shining Force is one of my all time favourite games... And as for the three other people who have played it, I'm sure this picture will bring great joy. Pictured here is the infamous Circus battle, where your party bravely takes on such memorable villains as Evil Puppets, Dire Clowns, and the Marionette boss, which Michaela sicks upon you. This is a scary fight. I mean, clowns are scary enough already... Give them some knives, and, well. You get the picture.

I used watercolours mostly, and then coloured over with markers in places. This was originally going to be the 'test picture' but I ended up spending so much time on it that I got lazy and never did the final copy. If I ever get around to it, you'll be the first to know!

Beautiful color! This was one of my all-time fave games as well. Your art is awesome, and keep up the great work!

awesome! Shining force is among my all time favourite games (it actually beats final fantasy 10, which is something). This is way cool, keep it up ^-^

:-) Nico Danell replies: "Shining Force beats FFX in every aspect, hands down. Uh, except some people would probably disagree on the music and graphics. But those people can bite me. "

How exciting! Shining Force Art! (I've been searching for some everywhere) I yap on about this game all the time and it's wonderful gloriousness and I get all sorts of 'what the crap game is that' or 'never heard of it' it's great to finally find some really good art of it. Did you hear that there is a new one coming out for the playstation 2? Oh yes and on a side note, i thought this imparticular was the worst battle in the game >< stupid Mishaela almost killed all of my peeps!!!

:-) Nico Danell replies: "It's almost impossible to find any decent Shining Force art around... So far I've only seen one artist on Elfwood who has interesting original Shining Force artwork (go visit his gallery if you haven't already http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/fanq/b/o/bombace2/bombace2.html). No, I didn't know there's one for PS2 coming out! I've been trying to get my hands on the remake for GBA but so far no luck. 2 And by the way, Mishaela doesn't fight you here, the boss is the Marionette. You don't fight her until way later, in her castle!"

Ahhahahahaha (blushes) I so knew that...heehee...worst part is i so just played that part the other day and I managed to state it incorrectly....oh well! I shall check out that other artist, preciate the link to it! I just myself bought the gba version of the game 1 I found it at the military BX of all places...hope you find a copy!!!

^.^ I really like this picture. I love how you portrayed Misheala in this picture and the Marrionette. 2 Shining Force is my favorite video game, my dad introduced it to me when it first came out and I fell in love, even though I was only 6! 2 Very nice coloring and I like that you put in the half sun, half moon symbol in the background that's in the center of the battle field. 2

There aren't too many people that do Shining Force art and some of it isn't that great, sadly. You and another artist on here really do the game some justice. Keep up the good work. 2 It's artists like you that keep the Shining spirit alive.

...Shining Force...this brings back such fond memories *sniffles*
I hated that Mannequin with a passion, though. It took me FOREVER to defeat him! Stupid lvl 3 Freeze spell!

*bows* I thank you for the fan fic and taking me down memory lane! 2
