Original made sometime in 2014

I tried redrawing the title screen of Klonoa Heroes! I remember being so proud of this piece, touting it around with me everywhere I went, hahaha. I also remembered I changed Klonoa's face from angry and determined to awe and wonder because "it felt wrong to see Klonoa so angry on the cover", I thought, completely ignoring the context that this scene takes place in, hahahahaha.

Originally this was going to be a cover for a comic adaptation of Klonoa Heroes because, at the time, the only way to effectively consume the story of the game in English was to scroll through a plain-text translation and kind of clumsily follow along with walkthroughs on youtube. There is now thankfully a proper English translation patch for the game, because I would have burnt out SO intensely if I never scrapped the project after 5 pages (couldn't settle on the style I wanted to use lol).
