soren only did a few things wrong

~*Tellius Character Art Restoration Project*~

enjoyed Senri Kita's character art work for Path of Radiance & Radiant Dawn, but your favorite character had only one tiny crappy jpg floating around in the wild?

you won't have to wait much longer ~

in this project, all of the character artworks will be restored with some degree of scanning, resizing, retouching, color-correcting, and outright repainting. a majority (50-60% of works) will be scanned by me from the artbooks from scratch; smaller percentages are restored-from-existing (relatively) high res official artwork images.

as of now, there are 35 Path of Radiance character artworks restored; see below for thumbnail examples and a zoomed in example.

there will be no watermarks, all images will have transparent backgrounds, be 300dpi and around 3000px on the longest side.

why? i do occasional photography retouching work at my dayjob and have ~15 years of professional experience with illustration, not to mention doing some pretty good senri-kita-stylistic look-alike pieces. :) felt like a shame that the artwork for all the characters technically exists but hasn't been amassed in one place in any consistency; this is the kind of project i like doing.

where will the final image dumps be posted? on my zihark fanshrine resource page where i've put other long-term Tellius resource projects including the travel time chart & location resource.

The Serenes Massacre happened 20 years prior to the events of Path of Radiance.

In Path of Radiance Sanaki is definitely NOT 20 years old. (I believe she is 10, but that number does not matter. Fact is that she is a child.)

Sanaki and Micaiah are sisters.

Therefore one or both of Micaiah's parents were not killed in the assassination related to the massacre.

They address the moment Sephiran stepped in and basically became Sanaki's dad (good job grandpa.) But I do not recall them addressing the death of Sanaki's birth parents.

This has bothered me for a long time but there is one specific reasonI bring it up.

DID MICAIAH ESCAPE THE FE PROTAG DEAD DAD SYNDROME????

We don't know if he is dead or deadbeat.

... typing that out I realize the word "dead" is in both of those choices.

micaiah’s total disappearance off the face of the earth is written off as her being assumed to have been assassinated alongside misaha, but without any mention of either of her parents also being taken out, it’s moderately safe to assume that those 15 years between misaha’s and sanaki’s reigns most likely had sanaki’s mother ruling as empress before dying, whether by also being assassinated or some other reason like illness.

I wish I could always be with you. That’s all I want. Just…simple…togetherness.
