Help with finding art

I seem to be failing with my search of Pixiv here, so if any of you guys on my flist here who know good sources for Suikoden fanart could help it would be great, because I'm honestly surprised I'm not finding fanart for who I'm looking for.

Anyway, looking for some art of Jeane outside of her official art and the few panels in the Suikoden III manga (have the whole thing, will color those soon while I'm on a manga coloring kick). Seriously, why I can't find fanart for a character who is female and wears that little clothing is beyond my comphrehension, but it seems to be the case.

Yes Luceti folks, I'm highly considering her for when apps open, already have a journal for her even. Yes, this means I'm going to be playing Suikoden V now, not sure if I'm going to finish IV unless we get a cast, but might watch a playthrough of it at least since I just suck at the game.

Finally, a rune sage! Haha. No idea about sources (since I've found my art from, well, all over the place), but I can upload what I have for you, if you want.

I'd greatly appreciate that! I've iconed all her official art, but fail at finding anything else.

And yes, we do need a rune sage! She's probably among the most needed characters honestly because everyone is stagnant with their runes and I'm sure they could use some changes, especially with drafts and all, and at least I can handwave anything with Yuber (I can't see her denying services to him).

Here (http://s817.photobucket.com/albums/zz99/tenkanstar/)'s what I have. It's not much, and a lot of it probably isn't useful, but that along with the Suikoden III manga should be good enough.

Yeah, it'd definitely be useful considering how many characters actually have runes and all. Even if they can't find runes in the stores or anything (I... have no idea how that works, whether they would or not), there are enough characters with runes that they could probably spread them around, if needed. You know, share a little. xD

Honestly, that should help a lot since as you said between that, the official art, and the manga I should be able to scrape up an icon set at least.

As far as how it would work? For stuff like Materia from FF7 and Magicite from FF6 it basically just requires running it past the mods to be able to find it in the shop, and they have been fine with both of those casts finding stuff. I think it's more that we haven't bothered to ask since there is no runemaster around.

Glad I could help, then. Good luck with the icon-making. o/

Ahh, okay, that makes sense. I was wondering since I know that the FF7 cast had materia, at least, but I wasn't sure if it had been event-related or if they showed up with it or what. But yeah, if that's the case, then it shouldn't be a problem as long as no one abuses it. xD

Well, I know I was the one who asked about the magicite for the FF6 cast and the mods were perfectly fine with my getting two pieces of it at the shops when Celes arrived after her canon review.

And yeah, pretty much as long as no one abuses it.

And can you just imagine the reactions of the womanizer characters to someone like her? I think the journalname I picked for her is very appropriate.

Ah, I see. As long as it's nothing too troublesome, I guess!

I think she'd be a lot of fun to play no matter what. I've thought about it before, but there's no way I could keep up with someone like her, haha.

Seriously, why I can't find fanart for a character who is female and wears that little clothing is beyond my comphrehension, but it seems to be the case.

...probably because most of her fanart is NSFW stuff? Ahaha. Danbooru has a few pictures of her but uh. NSFW.

[identity profile] ladynadiad.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
True, Pixiv doesn't seem to show as much NSFW stuff, guess I should try Danbooru because who knows, I might be able to make a NSFW fanart useable with some creative cropping.

...We need a rune sage? :|a No offense meant, but I'm surprised to hear there's a need.

[identity profile] ladynadiad.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I've heard from a few others that they wish they could get other runes, especially ones with healing abilities or just generally more useful abilities since they pretty much went with default equips.

Honestly, she'd probably be fun to play anyhow, but the fact that she'd be very useful to the cast too would be awesome. I've honestly been debating on her for a time, but kept going nah, need to play the other games first.

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... I see. I guess I just wince at the idea of playing a character because they'd be useful, versus wanting to play the character for their playability.

[identity profile] ladynadiad.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I think she's playable, though I'm holding out til I actually get V finished off too, but to me she seems about as playable as someone like Rubi and Rune has done a great job with him.

Honestly, the thought has been running through my mind for awhile. She seems like she could be interesting to flesh out more and play, and being useful to the cast as a whole is a bonus to me. To me the whole being useful is more a I don't want to get stuck in the same rut I've been in with some of my characters where they aren't interested in anything and I'm having to work at even passing AC, much less meeting my preferred level of activity per character.

It all depends on a lot of stuff, mostly I'm highly considering it and want stuff set up if I do decide to go that route when apps open.
