Lazlo | Suikoden IV Painting

I was on the Eiyuden Chronicle discord the other day, when somehow (probably my fault) the convo turned to reminiscing about Suikoden IV.

This lead me to wanting to listen to the Rune of Punishment theme (gorgeous song), which lead me to feeling all the feels - and the sudden urge to paint Lazlo. I think this might be the first time I've ever painted him.

I have a soft spot for Suikoden 4 - Junko Kawano's designs from 1 and 4 were a major influence when I started drawing more. What a treat to see her new art in not one, but TWO new games next year! I can hardly wait!

If you've likewise been living under a rock, as I have, "Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes" is an upcoming 2024 jrpg game created by the same developers as the original Genso Suikoden series! With their newly-formed Rabbit & Bear studio, Eiyuden Chronicle is arguably the spiritual successor to the original Suikoden series. It even has 100+ new character designs by Kawano herself! And if that was not enough, Konami is also making separate HD remasters of the original Suikoden 1 & 2 - with Kawano drawing brand-new art for all the Suikoden 1 character portraits! (Also set to release in 2024.) I only learned about all of this last week. I am very excited (and in slight disbelief by so much Suikoden news, after over a decade of Konami abandoning the series!).
