Description
Here I am! Last but not least, here is my Secret Santa for the great StarsAndOceans! As always, there is a small story with this drawing.I know that she loves the Valuan army (Especially Ramirez), so I decided from the beginning that they should appear in the drawing, but the reality was that I had never drawn neither of them, so it took me quite a lot to look for pictures in order to draw the clothes and at the end I couldn't include all of them... In the very first draft, Alfonso and De Loco were in the background, but because of the perspective I had to change my mind. The last minute changes took me quite a lot so I couldn't include De Loco at the end (I was going to draw him with some test tubes or other tools but I suppose Galcian would be upset with that lack of professionalism in a meeting xD.
About the black and white... well, I suck at colouring, and it takes me years, so I took inspiration from some of my old Skies of Arcadia drawings, in which I used black and white colours playing with transparency and the layers... the result is quite decent.
Hope you like it ^^

Yeah, I like the mini model versions of Aika, Vyse & Fina too. This is great!

Oh my gosh! You drew the admirals having a meeting, that's awesome! Thank you so much, I totally love it!
I love the thought you've put into the overall scene, with Galcian and Ramirez focusing on the map, Belleza focusing on Galcian whatever she's planning, and Alfonso wondering why the heck De Loco missed out on the meeting. There's so much going on! It's one thing I always like about your drawings, you manage to keep them simple while adding plenty of little details that tell an interesting narrative. Plus the use of grayscale makes it look like it's a scene out of a manga ^^ And I have to mention the little trio dummies on the map, that' so cute!
I'm so glad you drew that, thanks again!

I'm super happy you like it. When I read a person's Secret santa file with their preferences a picture always comes to my mind, and it has a lot of ideas I'd like to include, so that's why at the end everything is full of details xD. I don't like to remove things because it wouldn't be my complete idea, but sometimes I have to do it... In any case, thanks for your comment, I love how you explain with details aspects of the pictures.
