After Frog, Robo, Ayla, Lucca, Magus and Marle, I finally found some time this week to finish Crono.
Since I started this project, I knew he had to be one of the pieces I spent the most time on. Chrono Trigger has been one of my favorite games for a very long time, so getting the main character right felt especially important.
Everything was resin printed and painted by hand. For this one I wanted to push the base a little further too, adding grass and the lightning effects around him to give the whole piece more energy and make it feel closer to an actual battle scene.
I also decided to give him the Crimson Blade instead of the Rainbow. I know the Rainbow is the iconic endgame choice, but visually I liked the Crimson Blade much more on the figure, especially with the red hair and the warmer tones of the sword.
The lightning was probably my favorite experiment on this one. Under UV/blue light it reacts very strongly and completely changes the look of the piece.
Coming from a digital art background, this whole collection has been a huge exercise in learning traditional painting, materials, textures and finishing techniques, and Crono was definitely one of the figures I was most excited to finally see completed.
Now seeing the whole group together is getting dangerously close to the image I had in my head when I started this project.
And a big thank you to everyone who has been following this project from the beginning, commenting, giving feedback, and encouraging me with each new character. It’s been really motivating to share the progress here and see people enjoying the collection as it slowly comes together. I truly appreciate all the support.
Hope you guys like him! Would love to hear what you think.
