What a beautiful game this is, filled with incredible art and a well constructed story. In some other timeline we are all awaiting the expansion to the far east or to the south and the community is excited and speculating on what will be. So sad. I'll never forget how happy I was when Adoulin was announced, I still remember that night as I stayed up late to watch the live stream.
I'm not sure I tend to save lots of things and forget about them, I noticed it yesterday in a folder and thought others might want to download and save it.
I think it was scanned from "The Art of Yoshitaka Amano" and is a fold out I think. The original art was a folding screen of some sort.
I found the same-ish image quite a while ago (cleaned up the vertical lines a bit), and had it printed on a lapboard pad. I cut some 11/16" ply as a base for it.
It's just so creative and expressive. It looks so good from afar, but also has tons of minute details if you look closer. Everything that makes Vana'diel "Vana'diel" is there.
