Page XVII


Happy New Year one and all!! I start the new year with another addition to my hand paintings (and a TERRIBLE FLU!). It's an auracite from the Final Fantasy Tactics series. They're these stones representing each zodiac, each with their own type of jewel, that hold unimaginable power. This one here is the 13th stone, bearing the constellation Ophiuchus, or Serpentarius. This constellation was once accepted as one of the houses of the zodiac, having the smallest amount of days the sun travels through its sign. It's located between Scorpio and Sagittarius. The snakes in the background tie the whole theme together and they also become useful placeholders for the gems, which represent the stars of the constellation itself. :)
