Basically all I had left to do was add rivers for the remaining three countries, and add some minor labels to show the places mentioned in the story. I haven't completely done that part yet. I also went and added the royal emblems of each country.
Yeah, the text is colorful. It's because I'm trying to color-code everything. Each country represents an element. Lost Kingdom = ice, Evestine = electric, Volston = fire, etc.
I wish I could post more here but I've really gotten to where I can't be bothered to draw much, haha.

@coloring
yeah that makes sense, like I said I just like color so XD
"Volston"... "Volcano"... "Fire..." I C WUT U DID THA-*shot both for stating the obvious and using an old joke/meme/whatever*
and eh, the thing with drawing is it's super hard to force, even if you love doing it a lot, so it's probably better not to or you'll just drain yourself and the like. granted you probably know that but I feel like the same thing applies to many creative endeavors, or maybe just many things in life in general, and I can kinda relate, haha...

Originally, ALL the kingdoms had elemental names. I kind of gave that up in the end, though Volston and Aquatos kept their names.
Demetrius was meant to be a stealth pun, but unfortunately the book I use to get names from is inaccurate about its meaning. (It says Demetrius means "lover of the earth" but according to the internet, thaaaaaaat's not what it means. The book was published in 1983 though. Don't ask how I have a book older than myself. lol)
I completely agree. If you don't have the motivation, it'll definitely show in the quality of your work. It's best to wait until inspiration comes to you. Because then you'll actually want to put more effort into what you're doing.This applies to almost all forms of art lol.

Does this count as digital art? I made it digitally, and music is art, so yes? No?
I have never been able to find a "remaster" of Prince's Despair that completely satisfied my love for it 100%. Even Oranga Stang's versions failed to completely satisfy me (if you took the intro of the "older" version and stuck it in place of the weird electric guitar in the "final," I would, indeed, be 100% happy.)
So I set out to make a remaster of my own. This is really just me acquiring a nifty .midi and editing it in LMMS with as high-of-quality of soundfonts as I can possibly acquire and making some little tweaks. UNFORTUNATELY, I think either youtube or the recording program goofed with the quality. It doesn't sound nearly as good in the video as it did when playing, and you'll have to turn your volume up a bit because of some weird thing. (Exporting to .wav or whatever sadly causes some weird crap to happen in the first couple of seconds. )
I had to change one of the vocals (Choir Aah's) to something else because that particular soundfont I used for voices (which was the best-sounding one I could find) REALLY SOUNDED AWFUL with all three being vocals. (Sounded like one of the groups couldn't start off at the same time as everyone else and was always lagging behind) I always thought that section was organs anyway simply because of how lame the instrument for it was in FE8. I didn't change the other two vocal sections to pipe organ because they were far too high in pitch and it bothered my sensitive ears.
Nowhere near as good as oranga stang's would be if aforementioned edits were made to their versions, but eh, it was the best I could do.

Some edits made to the Torrential Bow. One one hand, some people will probably think there's too much blue. On the other hand, this IS a water bow and water is usually translated to blue so WHATEVER.
