*falls over, dead*

…XD Pun unintended.

But really. My hand feels like it’s going to fall off after cropping these two on a touch pad. O_O A mouse is one thing, but a touch pad? I really must have a death wish!

…Okay, okay, I’ll stop with the bad puns. I made this wallpaper for the “Good Meets Evil” contest. I was intrigued by the idea since there was such an interesting twist to it; use characters from two different fandoms. Which is why I settled on the official drawn artwork for both characters instead of CG, since I thought they blended better.

Also, I put it in the Valkyrie Profile section, because there isn’t a crossover video games section and it seemed like a waste to make a wallpaper with characters from two games that need more love and not give either of the sections any attention.

The connection between these characters is a complex one. Arumat P. Thanatos from Star Ocean: The Last Hope is actually one of the protagonists, though he is from the Thirteenth Independent Armored Division AKA the “Death Squadron.” He’s a soldier of unparallel strength who has killed countless adversaries that were presented to him; but he also stares at the time of his own death, for his body is degrading. He is from Planet Eldar, which is destroyed by the Phantoms, the main antagonists in The Last Hope. His people falsely believe Earth was behind the home world’s destruction. He knows the truth, and despite the disapproval from his comrades, chooses to assist Edge Maverick, an Earthling, and his crew put an end to the Phantoms. He freely deems himself “Death Incarnate,” knowing he is little more than a “living corpse,” as he put it, himself.

Lenneth Valkyrie is the antagonist of Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One. She is a Valkyrie: a Battle Maiden, a Chooser of The Slain. She’s a loyal disciple of Odin, the Allfather, and collects the souls of fallen warriors and trains them to become part of Valhalla’s army. They then fight on the side of Odin during Ragnarok, the battle marking the end of the world and the Twilight of The Gods. She’s scorned as a Death Goddess by many mortals, and one young man swears revenge against her for taking his father to become an einherjar. In Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, she struggles to fulfill her duty haunted by memories of a past life and constant accusations that she symbolizes nothing but the end of life.

And thus is the story behind my wallpaper of Arumat P. Thanatos, Death Incarnate, and Lenneth Valkyrie, Accused Death Goddess. Furthermore, the planet breaking up is an aspect of Star Ocean, as is the image lost in the layers of a warp out, whereas the wings and the feathers are aspects of Valkyrie Profile.

Their character art is by two different artists, it looks a little odd, which is partly why I’m just a bit dissatisfied.

But, all in all, the challenge present a tricky request and I think I did a decent job. They both have their weapons drawn and at the ready; Arumat with his scythe and Lenneth with the Valkyrie Favor. Although in their respective stories they’d stand in a state of opposition, they’re simply two individuals who cast the shadow of death upon all before their blades. They’re the type who are both strictly ruled by their superiors without any opportunities to pursue their own dying wills. If they met by accident, they would simply glance at each other darkly one day, without raising a weapon. But if they were then commanded by the people they answered to lead armies up against each other, they’d engage in a bloody battle without hesitation, simply because of the positions they were forced into.

-whisper- Though Arumat would make one hell of an einherjar! XD
