Description

UPDATE:  Dragon Quest VIII 3DS is coming west!  Rejoice!

This will be designated as post game content, after Red and Yangus relationship begins to warm up, Red and Yangus stumble on a 7th Map.  Red decides to take her ship for this hunt as it requires searching a cluster of uncharted islands that have mysteriously never been discovered.  There are 5 islands so everyone splits up into teams to search the islands for the landmark on the treasure map.  This team is decided for the player as this is close to the end of the game and of course is an optional quest.  

Jessica and Angelo steer the other ship with the choice of 3 other companions, Bangerz, Lady Rosalind, Kalderasha, or Morrie. ( More characters may be included in the final revised edition.)

So the story is set after Lord Rhapthorne is defeated and a couple months pass... Red and Yangus go to Trodain and enlist the Hero's help.  Yangus then tells Red about Valentina's gift as a healer so she is enlisted.  On the way to Alexandria, they recruit Jessica and Angelo but not without other guests.  Bangerz, Mash, and Jessica's mother.  Bangerz and Mash both want to ride on Red's ship, but she really isn't very fond of children.  Red eyes both of the boys and out of them both she looks more favorably on Mash.

Red: Y'know, he kinda favors you.

Yangus: Ya think so?

Red: Me thinks so from how ya used to be as a lad.

Yangus:  Well he ain't a brat like the other one is.

So Mash was chosen more because in the end Red and Yangus definitely could see this one needed a bit of guidance.  Bangerz was really upset,  Lady Rosalind wasn't too happy about having them separated, but Angelo convinced her that at some point they both need to be able to act independently of one another.  As they travel for a few days by sea, they are able to find the mysterious islands.  

Hero: So what exactly is the treasure?

Yangus: I don't know Guv, but all this fancy writing on the map makes it seem like whatever it is has to be huge.

Red: I just hope it aint another map.

Valentina:  I believe the Goddess has revealed the first island.

Red: 'Bout time, I was getting a bit anxious.

(Almost an hour later) Mash: I see the other four islands ahead!

Yangus: I believe this little ones right!  

(Red gives Yangus a small red mallet hammer)

Red: Go on!  Give it to 'em (Red smiles)

(Yangus hands Mash a red mallet)

Mash: What's this?

Yangus: Um...I know it's aint your birthday, but Red and I thought ya needed a weapon that suits ya better.

Mash:  Thanks Yangus!  Thanks Ms. Red

Red: Oh don't mention it now will ya? 

Yangus:  It's nuffin Mash... let me show you how to use this...

Mash: Ok!

(Red smiles after everyone looks away as Yangus patiently spends time with a young eager to learn Mash).

Valentina:  It's nice of Yangus to be a father figure to Mash ( Valentina comments to the the Hero).

Hero: Yes, he almost always has been drug into trouble by Bangerz all the time.  

Valentina:  I think he just needs a father figure...Bangerz probably does too...

(Red walks up)

Red: So wat you two think 'bout these islands?

Hero: To be honest, I really don't know.  They aren't even mapped out.

Valentina: If I have any visions I will let you know.

Red: Yea I heard 'bout your father, he's a gifted seer.

Valentina: Yes, he stays quite busy these days with people from out of town constantly coming to see him.

Hero:  It's good he didn't shatter his crystal ball!

(They both laugh)

Red: Fair enough...I think the first island will be the one to the far south...I can't make much of it from this distance, so tomorrow morning we disembark.  I'm shattered, I'm going to get some rest.

Valentina:  It seems like Yangus and Red are really happy.

Hero: Oh yes, Yangus and Red are expanding her house.

Valentina: Hmmm...  It looks like the others are going to the most westerly island.  The one in the center appears to be the smallest so far.

Hero: Let's hope we don't encounter anything too dangerous, I kind of like just peaceful traveling.

Valentina: It is more pleasant.

So the groups of travelers each choose and Island and begin exploring.  What will they find?

Creative, I can tell you have passion for this. You have lots of potential. To drastically improve take a class for figure drawing.  A book I recommend on the topic is "Drawing the head and figure by Jack Hamm".

I see you're desiring to add perspective.  I practiced by drawing lots of real backgrounds in real life first.  A professor recommended me a book long ago. It is called "How to draw MANGA putting things into perspective". It is pretty much all about perspective an excellent book.

Finally I wish you the best on your endeavors with your art! I also look forward to the 3ds game currently playing the port for DQ heroes on PC from STEAM.  Take care! :)
