Exactly what I was thinking.

LockeZ

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Well, yeah, I think that was the point. Take the originals and only make minor alterations, so they seem a few years older while still being 100% recognizable.

I think the changes are fitting. This is supposed to be a derivative work, you know.

Magus with the tattered cape is great. Reminds me of Vincent Valentine from Dirge of Ceberus, or maybe Cloud from Kingdom Hearts. It almost makes me want him to have white tape wrapped around his scythe.

Yeah I had never before considered the possibility of Crono having even more hair

You can do that without tracing and mutilating someone else's art. If you can't draw; that's fine; you don't need to put up "concept art" at all.

And just for the hell of it: Why is Schala dressing like a whore-bag? Schalas is supposed to be dead and/or part of the dream devourer and/or trapped in space time, or something along those lines.

I think it looks good. Then again I'm no artist or anything, but I do like what I see. As for Schala being present, this is a quote from the plot-line of the game.

Plot Intro
"Four years after the defeat of the Dream Devourer, Crono, Marle, and Lucca find that their lives have drastically changed.

So obviously Schala has been freed from her confinement and what not. I also don't think she looks like a "whore-bag" at all, hell she's got a far less provocative look than say Yuffie or Tifa (especially in AC). Just my opinion though, feel free to disagree with it.

Again, I didn't draw this. And yes, she did trace it. I should also mention that this was done rather quickly, and we just wanted to show some of the small modifications we're adding to the characters to give the appearance of the time that has passed. They're older. We're probably not going to elongate anyone's hair very much in-game, especially Crono's, but we will be adding some subtle changes.

And how the hell does Schala look like a 'whore-bag'? She's a playable character in CT2, and she'd probably trip and fall if she tried to wear her outfit from CT. It's lighter and more efficient for fighting. By no means does it look like Yuna or Tifa.

LockeZ is right on the dot here for what we were trying to get across.

O_O This looks great, especially the resemblance between the characters' official art... even if its traced, it usually doesn't turn out brilliant.

You should check out her work for Chrono Shift, CT2's sister(?) project.

She doesn't stay devoured FOREVER. She turns into Kid eventually, and then starts dressing like a whore-bag. Whore-bag Schala is canon!

But then, the game does involve time travel, so anything is possible. For example, if they rescue her from the Ocean Palace with a Chrono Trigger the same way that Crono was rescued in CT, then she never turns into Kid, Dream Devourer never exists, Chrono Cross never happens, and she can be rejoined happily with Magus.
