I've actually got a small group of Dark Dawn OC's but I've only got art for two of them and one of those has to be redone, so here's the main one, Eva! She grew up in Imil, but she wasn't born there. Once she turned 13 or such, she started traveling solo across Weyard to study the elemental Djinn,

Given how the people of Prox had a justified goal in the end, the true antagonist of Golden Sun series has always been that smug background character lurking in the background who you never get to fight...
Lady McCoy of course!
What an uncanny artistic depiction they gave her.

ohHO IM SO READY
Meifeng was born as Feizhi's daughter. She was born without her dad and did what she could to help her mom as her assistant. When Feizhi dies and leaves her legacy to Meifeng, she is overwhelmed and frustrated and runs away to chase down her father.

All I really have is my yumesona, who traveled the world all on her own until she met Garet, and it’s because of him that she starts to gain trust in people and opens up, and of course eventually falls in love with him.

You know what, why not!
This is Adrian, he had a chance meeting with Pewter (right) and Glare (left) before the Vale storm, and they’ve been traveling Weyard having various adventures together!
The green bracelet is how I imagine the Catch Beads look when equipped.

Today is also the 24th anniversary of the original Golden Sun being released in North America, so I want to be clear that however you want to celebrate, do it.
I am legitimately interested in hearing about any Golden Sun OCs you all may have thought up, so yap away if you like.

Since we're a little more than two weeks away from the 15th anniversary of Dark Dawn being released in North America, maybe there will be a rush on art from the community?
But if you have a Golden Sun OC and you want to dust off their old artwork or gush about them for a while, don't be afraid.

Okay, how about this: For a future Golden Sun game, even if it's just for a moment can there be horseback riding?
It could just be in passing, like a messenger showing up with news. Or reintroduce Isaac, who escaped the vortex and is meeting up with you on the back of a borrowed tobiano piebald?

There's a change in the season, a chill in the air...
It must be soup weather! No matter if it's hot, cold, or in a dungeon. It's always time for soup in Golden Sun!

From a strictly Golden Sun standpoint, it is a thing of beauty seeing a game series that began in 2001 receive love to this day from people in South America, Europe, non-Japanese Asia, and beyond.
If you have a story to tell (Golden Sun or otherwise), this appears worth looking into for listeners.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

In case you were wondering, the Halloween costume I wore this year was Felix from Golden Sun, but kind of a different take on the character; a modern day Felix wearing a sweater, sitting and reading in private. Many other extra-long ponytail adorned dark brunettes seemed to choose this costume too.

Happy October 28th from where I'm posting, and at this moment it is still the 28th in Japan. And so...
Happy 15th Anniversary to the Japanese release of Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. Here is a short thread about this admittedly disappointing game which still deserves more love.

Hey people, @beamingfoxy.bsky.social has arrived on Bluesky!
During playthroughs of Golden Sun and The Lost Age, Foxy had posted sketches on characters and monsters as the games progressed. Consider following along in case we get to see that again during Dark Dawn?

After a forced break, I'm back to streaming and creating.
So, taking advantage of the fact that my mannequin accidentally fell off my markers organizer... Here's my WIP!

Based upon what we learn in Dark Dawn, Alex could have revealed his identity like this. The honesty would have been refreshing on his part.

If anyone ever sees a monstrosity such as this but using the Golden Sun Djinn, here are your instructions:
Do not take photos. Do not tell anyone. Do not let it spread. Mourn the moment, but take the sight of it to your grave. For the good of the rest of us.

Procne is one of the most beautiful of the original summons, so for that alone, check this out.
Although really you should be checking out all the work of MarVogue already, so get on that if you haven't been. Seriously. Make with the appreciation already!

The range of emotions can be vast. Everything from a hollow feeling inside, to mild gratitude that Camelot is still functioning as a company and therefore leaving the possibility for new Golden Sun down the road.
And at least it wasn't golf.

An important reminder about the September 12th Nintendo Direct: curling up into a ball on the ground and going into convulsions while foaming at the mouth is not a healthy reaction if nothing related to Golden Sun is announced. It is however a very healthy reaction if we DO get some new Golden Sun!
