This is an epic remake of a commission that has been many, many moons in the making... :D (Big Grin)
The original commission (which I've just retitled something much more punny) Gaias and Girls together - was commissioned way way back in August 2009! It was a few years later before I learnt that this loosely-held "series" of games from the Super NES era had a fourth entry, entitled "The Granstream Saga", which was released on the Playstation (PS1). Well this inspired me to commission a reboot of that picture (which I still feel is really cool and was one of my first big commissions and definitely the biggest I'd done at that time - or for some years after, for that matter!)
But I couldn't just go out and commission it again right then - for one thing the original artist, Arabatos, has since moved on from individual picture commissions that he used to take, and now works for (I believe) an online hentai comics pay site (I think JAB). So the first step was to find an artist I felt could do the remake justice. That artist I did eventually find...
aerodynamicT aerodynamicT agreed to take on this task, and realised it absolutely beautifully - all of Gaia's heroes are so wonderfully detailed, the expressions are more realistic (Arabatos was a great artist even then, but did have a tendency to draw standard anime faces with blank stares), and I'm gonna say it, that explosion the cool heroes aren't looking at is way cooler too. :D (Big Grin)
