Angie - Promo ArtistRecently, my love for Tellius was reignited after a short illness. I fell in love with the dynamic of Ike and Soren all over again. It's so funny, I originally played these games back in 2005, 2007, but could never get myself to beat Radiant Dawn. 17 years later, I was able to complete the duology, and it's so lovely. Their story is a gentle one of acceptance and learning to grow and heal - I hope I can convey that in my works. There's such a genuine joy in seeing different stories with them, with Ike's struggles for freedom and Soren's devotion. Thank you for having me!
