Description OMG, I found screenshots of Xenosaga IV! So I did fanart of it!

Just kidding! Sorry, couldn't help it. I wish there was going to be a Xenosaga 4 but nah...with the ending of Xenosaga III, it showed the game series is definitely ended.

Well, this pic was meant to be a "Thanks for 10,000 Page Views" but seeing as I am nowhere close to being at 10,000 (I should be there by now!), I just decided to submit this as a regular deviation. ^_^

For those of you who beat the PS2 game Xenosaga Episode III, you know all about the ending. I think it was sooooo cute that Shion finally ended up Allen. About bloody time, the poor lad was so desperately in love with Shion (who is the most stubborn person ever! I wanted to kill her the way she was treating everybody in Xeno3, especially poor Jin).

No, this pic isn't a scene from the game at all. It is how I imagine Shion, Allen, & Junior (yes, that's Junior...I wanted him to finally grow up & look his age! ) when they finally reach Lost Jerusalem (a.k.a. Earth), which is the planet behind them. I also wanted to give everybody new outfits, especially Allen...I was really sick of seeing him wearing that Vector uniform throughout Episodes 1-3. Also, I made his hair less nerdy.

And please, for the Love of God & all of humanity & things of the sort...don't mention the muscles on Junior's arm. While I think I did an okay job, I'm still learning how to draw muscles. So no, please do not critique me on that...I know I still need a bit o' practice.

There's something really funny. On Wikipedia, it says that Jr. and Momo have 'romantic' feelings for each other.
If that's true, then Jr.'s a pedo.

Interesting. But Wikipedia isn't totally accurate.

I'm not sure what Jr. & Momo felt. It was never really explained. It does seem like Momo liked Jr. a lot but I'm not sure about him.

Aaah, it looks lovely! I'm kinda heartbroken Xenosaga's over though.
I love this piece, along with the majority of your artwork! I hope to see future Xenosaga pieces, maybe? XD Ah, that's just wishful thinking, the fandom is dying now just like so many good ones do when it hits the end. DX

Hi! Thanks for the great comment on this (and all the 's...I'm still overwhelm with gratitude. Thank you so much!) Yes, I agree it is a shame that Xenosaga ended. I wish Namco had gone with their original plan of making six episodes. As for more Xenosaga artwork, I'm not sure if I will draw Xeno anymore. I'd have to feel inspired to do so. Right now I'm working on original artwork. But who knows...perhaps in the future I just might do something from Xeno.

XD I'm the same way. Unfortunately, due to...Influences, I've been inspired to do a painting of KOS-MOS in an evening gown. >_>; So now everyone expects me to do it. (Bad move on their part. DX)

Game Series End...? He HAS to make episode 4 to go with Xenosaga episode 5 (a.k.a. Xenogears) Where the lost Jeruselem becomes the new earth and....Jin becomes Citan, Pelligri becomes Yui... well you get the picture. I think Takahashi is just trying to buy time, to buy the rest of the rights from squaresoft, or strike up a deal of some kind to make a tie-up. THEN it can end! As for Jr... I don't know about seeing an Albedo with red hair (shivers) But he does keep some of the boyish look in this picture, very nice.

Oh yes, it was confirmed that Xenosaga III was the end to the series before the game was even released a few years ago. But no matter how much of us Xenosaga fans want there to be more, there isn't. Jin becomes Citan? Really? I don't think so. :-p Pellegri dies in Xeno3 anyway. They were thousands of years before the storyline of Xenosaga. Do you know the storyline of Xenogears? Because Xenogears is Episode 5, there are 4 episodes before that. I have the (Japanese) Xenogears artbook that explans all the scenarios before Xenogears Episode 5.

Going backwards: Xenogears 4 is about Zeboim (sp?), the city that is underground, Ep.3 is about Solaris, Ep.2 deals with Krelian (when he had blue hair and new Sophia/Elly & Fei), and Ep.1 is about how the people came to be. If anything, Xenosaga would take place before Xenogears Episode 1. Hmmm...I'm going to have to go find my artwork now & if you're interested, I'll update you with better information on the series. I'm just doing this by memory. It's been years since I read it (and it's in Japanese too, so it takes me a while to translate it).

I think it would be great if Xenogears were remade into Xenosaga graphics.

-spoilers for enidng of xs-ep2 n ep3-
dude, this is awesome!!! ^^ aaw, ive always wanted to see jr adult n when i saw that scene in ep3.. you have no idea how much i screamed! XD actually, in the early stages of ep2 they were thinking of letting him rapidly change into adult-form and let you fight in that form during the final boss but then some new ppls started working on it n cut it out waah, i hate the fact that it were supposed to be six games... would have felt better if it were supposed to be three, i feel kinda tricked when they had to end it there.. yes, im a xenosaga-freak... XD XD

Thank you so much. I'm happy you like & double-thanks for the on it (and also the on my gallery). That's wonderful. Yeah, I was really hoping that Junior would turn into his adult form in Xeno3 (and of course, was dissapointed). That's why I wanted to do a fan art of him in his true form...I got tired of seeing him look & act like a kid. He needs to look like he's 26. lol. Yeah, I wish Namco did make all 6 episodes. It's really evident that Xeno3 is a bit rushed & there were still a lot of unanswered questions. Ha...don't worry about being a "Xenosaga freak"; I love the games very much as well. They've got great storylines.

Yeah, I wanted to draw Junior as an adult (since he is 26 years old but in the game, he has a body of a 12 year old). I also wanted to give Allen a new outfit (since he wears the exact same boring outfit in all 3 games.)

uzuki-jin [2007-11-11 01:08:44 +0000 UTC]

Yes! Someone agrees with me that Shion treated Jin like shit, and that it was stupid that Allen never got an outfit change even though he's in all three.

holy god... If my heart wasn't already Jin's, I wouldn't mind a day or more with Jr. *Wishes the damn fullview was working*

Yep! ^^ I was too lazy to put in the Red Dragon tattoo though. > Argh, the ending of Xeno3 was too much. There was so much I wanted explained & I wondered what would happen to chaos & Kos-Mos. Ha ha, it was fun talking with you during AX about Xenosaga! ^_^

This is soooo cool! As usual, fantastic picture with great detail and colours. Earth looks gr8 in the backround. One thing though i think junior needs to do a few more bicep curls

Ha ha ha, you're funny! Oh, I am sooooooo horrible at drawing muscles. I'm learning though! It's going to take time but I must perfect the human body. Thanks for complimenting on the Earth; I find planets hard to draw.

At first, I was like, "Austrian accent? What in the world...?" Then I got it! Awww, Junior doesn't look too bad. He's kind of muscular, in a sinewy way.

yeah, Junior has been working out with the 'Governator' to get his sinewy physique!!

this pic = instant win xD

personally i doubt Jr will be ever going back to his adult form... but this pic is great nevertheless...

such a great game.

AyaneShinobi In reply to S0rce [2007-08-03 20:08:02 +0000 UTC]

Glad you like it! Yeah, that's exactly why I made Jr. in his adult form, since in the game he seems kind of immature to go into his adult form. (I mean c'mon, he's 27...he should look it!) But ah, that is the glory of fanart...that you can do whatever you want.

I'm happy that this made you happy! Thanks for the on this. Yeah, I wanted to give everybody new outfits (especially poor Allen) & I wanted Junior to freakin' turn into his normal size so he could look his age! (After all, there was that teaser in the game & I had so hoped Jr. would grow up, but nah, he didn't.)

Thank you so much for the & comment on this! Yeah, it's so sad that Xenosaga ended but...that's what fanart is for...I can make up what I want after Xeno3! > Oooh, I'm glad you commented on the planet. You know what I just noticed? That Lost Jerusalem/Earth had rings in the ending of Xeno3. Oh well~!
