Seiken Densetsu Art

All of the characters depicted below, except where noted, are owned by Squaresoft. I'm not sure exactly who the character designers were, but I do know that the actual drawings on this specific page were by me, Glarryg.

If a character's origin is not specified, it means it's featured in more than one (or all) of the SD games. Abbreviations for the specific games are as follows:

• SD1/FFA: Seiken Densetsu 1, a.k.a. Final Fantasy Adventure
• SD2/SoM: Seiken Densetsu 2, a.k.a. Secret of Mana
• SD3: Seiken Densetsu 3 (no American name)
• SD4/LoM: Seiken Densetsu 4, a.k.a. Legend of Mana
• SSD: Shinyaku Seiken Densetsu, a.k.a. Sword of Mana

For those of you who are interested, I also have photographic evidence in favor of the Mana Sword Trick from SoM, and some Seiken Densetsu Fan Fiction in the works. But, for now, enjoy the art (hopefully).

(Some newer web browsers may re-size the pictures to fit your window after you click on these links; keep that in mind)
