Proof of Life

Description

So a somewhat quick sketch of a fairly major character who only appears near the end of Dark Cloud and yet without her, there technically wouldn't be a Dark Cloud. This is Sophia, Seda's beloved who is killed due to her love for him as she sacrificed herself in order to protect him from an impostor who attempted to assassinate him (if memory serves me right as it's been ages since I've played the first Dark Cloud heh; ask me about Dark Cloud 2 and I could probably quote the game, not the first one so much). Due to this, Seda loses himself and thus the Dark Genie is born and so is Toan's adventure (and the only reason there was an attempt against Seda's life was because he already had acted recklessly and had done something which was a prelude in a sense to the birth of the Dark Genie so it really would have only been a matter the right moment for the Dark Genie to have been manifested . . .  in short, it's really Seda's fault if one wants to look at it from that perspective). 
However, the two are given a second chance and it's only possible by Toan breaking the Atlamillia if not mistaken, thus allowing Sophia a chance to life happily alongside Seda without having to sacrifice her life (again, if not mistaken as I personally have yet to finish Dark Cloud myself). 
So, the idea behind this sketch is really one of Sophia reflecting on those events. The idea would be that even if no one else would remember, if it all seemed like a far-off dream, she'd remember and would feel that proof of life whenever she thought of those events. 
Sketched in pencil, traced with faber-castell pens, erased the base and colored with colored pencils. Sophia is from Dark Cloud which belongs to Level-5 and a special thanks to Kalea--Jade for sharing those reference pictures of Sophia, they really did help a ton (especially while I'm still in the middle of transferring a lot of my own stuff from my old laptop to my new one).
