Mr. Iwadare's Gift

I've never worked with another artist before. However, I knew if I wanted to capture Iwadare's face with a great pose, I needed Norma, queen of realism.^_^ We combined both our efforts to make a gift art for one of the greatest composers ever, Mr. Noriyuki Iwadare. Mr. Iwadare composed the beautiful soundtracks for the Lunar and Grandia series. He captures sadness and joy in all his works, and I don't think Lunar and Grandia would be the same if Iwadare hadn't composed the music. I couldn't have drawn half of the art on this site without listening to his music. On behalf of all American Lunar and Grandia fans, thank you Mr. Iwadare.
