Description If you know me well, you know I am a huge Xenosaga fan. I the Xenosaga games. In my opinion, I believe they are the best RPG series to grace the Earth.

There are so many cool & loveable characters in the game. Kos-Mos is my favourite female character, because she is so beautiful, graceful, and totally kick-arse. Kos-Mos isn't prounouned like "Cosmos". It is prounounced like "Kohs-Mohs". Kos-Mos is actually an abbreviation for something, but at this moment, I forget what it stands for. When I first saw the character, I thought, "She's so cool!"

From left to right: Archetype Kos-Mos (Episode I flashbacks), Episode I version, and Episode II version.

Have you noticed her haiir gets darker as she advances? She has such the coolest outfits, doesn't she? Kos-Mos is a dream cosplay of mine, because I know I do not possess the skills to make something this complicated (just yet).

Drawn with Black India Ink & coloured in with Japanese watercolour.

Hm...? Where am I? Good question... Oh yeah I think I'm at the part where M.O.M.O. is kidnapped by Albedo and the gang has to go save her... so I believe I'm in the tower-like thing....

Other characters? Like who? Are you willing to tell...? ^-^

Just the other main charas, like Junior/Rubedo, Momo, Albedo, Kirschwasser, Gaignun, Shelly, & Mary. But I will not be updating my gallery until...who knows when. With all the millions of cosplay projects I must finish before the middle of June, I will not have time to be drawing anything.

More than likely, my next update might be mid-July. If I get in an artpiece before than, then it is because I finished my cosplay projects earlier than I expected (which I highly doubt).

Wow, this is beautiful. I think it's really cool how you drew all three, it shows how she's progressed, eh?
Her outfit in the third one is my favorite, she looks so pretty. You handle watercolors so nicely, awesome job!

Doumo arigatou~! ^^ I am happy you like my Kos-Mos fan art. Yes, I like the 3rd version of Kos-Mos the best, too. Blue is one of my favourite colour, so I had fun painting all the different hues & shades of blue in the artwork.

Very cool ^_^ good work! I like Ep.1 KOS-MOS the best, but the way you drew her EP.2 version is cool.
I want to cosplay KOS-MOS too, but the metarials are so expensive!

AyaneShinobi In reply to glance-reviver [2005-05-02 14:22:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, emeraldwinter. It is hard for me to say which version of her I like better. Archetype version is "scary", but I just had to include that version of Kos-Mos into the drawing.

Yes, I imagine buying & finding materials to make Kos would be expensive & hard, but people have done it before~! ^^

Wooooo!! She looks very pretty. ^^ I haven't tried Xenosaga just yet. I'm gonna get a job and then get around to buying the game... if DW5 isn't eating me alive... ;; *still don't have DW5 just yet but will get it by next week*

I appreciate the comment!

Hee hee...me too, I have still yet to play DW5. It seems like all DW fans - except the two of us - have already played it. Damn it, I want to play as Guan Ping!!! <--- Watch, I find out he is a horrible character & here I am ranting about him. Nahh, I'm sure he'll be a cool chara.

Ooooh, whenever you have the time, you must play Xenosaga I & II. It is a totally kick-arse RPG series.

Yeah! Let us hope Ling Tong is as cool as he seems~! Once my university classes finally end next week, I hope I will get a break from costume making & grab a hold of DW5. ^^

For my DW group at AX, we already have DW5 cosplayers...or so they say. I hope the DW5 cosplayers do show up.

That would be awesome!! =^^= I hate Da Qiao's hair in DW5... <<;; Xiao's alright. Still don't like her tho'. Maybe it's her personality. *shrug*

AyaneShinobi In reply to Shinimegami-Grimm [2005-05-04 16:15:29 +0000 UTC]

Xiao is my favourite~! She's just too damned cute for me. I'll be making her DW5 outfit for AX06 (still a long time away, but I'm planning my good Koei cosplay for next year). As for this year, I'm wearing Xiao again, but 100x better than last year. I updated everything so that it is more accurate.

Oh yeah, Da Qiao's DW5 hair style. I'm not too fond of it either. It makes her look like a pre-pubescent little girl. I like her when she had her hair in two ponytails. It was cuter. Now, she makes Xiao look older than her. *laughs* Maybe Da Qiao's other outfits in DW5 will be better. *Who knows?*

*lmao* Oooo... might get DW5 this Thursday... *ish exited*

Xiao looking older then Da? *compares the pics* I still think Da looks her age and Xiao looks like a 10-year-old. XD;;

Lucky you! I hope you get DW5 tommorow. If you do, you must tell me how awesome Ling Tong & Guan Ping should be!

;;; I won't harm her! I swear!! In fact, I made a Xiao Qiao doll based off her third costume. If I can get on this weekend I'll post it. ^^

Hehehehe... today's the day~~! *hopes for the evening to come*

You made a Xiao Qiao doll? Wow, how cu~te. I wish I had those Dollfie's, then I'd make them into my favourite video game charas. But, they are sooo expensive (about $900 and up).

AyaneShinobi In reply to faroresama [2005-04-29 14:29:01 +0000 UTC]

The one that took the longest was Archetype, because I just couldn't get it right for some reason. It's probably due to the lack of reference. Her Episode II version was the most easy to draw. ^^

We have Episode I & Episode II versions of her. Have you seen the cosplayer who has made Ep. II Kos-Mos? It looks so awesome. (It's in the cosplay.com member galleries.)

ooh, KOS-MOS triptych :3 (I've actually been wanting to do something very like that with chaos ^.^) she looks gorgeous; as usual your lineart and coloring are superb. I especially love her facial expressions; the third one in particular stands out to me.

Er, and as far as I remember, the acronym is for Kosmos Obey Strategic Multiple Operations System or something like that, though I could be wrong XD

AyaneShinobi In reply to lizabee [2005-04-27 17:24:10 +0000 UTC]

I was just originally going to draw her Episode I version with the F-Scythe, but then I thought, "Oh, she's just too cool & my favourite chara. I'm going to draw all three versions of her!".

Ooooo, so you want to do something similiar like this with chaos? Well, he does have three different outfits.

Thanks for the comments, too. This actually took a bit of time, because I wanted to get her look right. I did try the best as I could to get it accurate. Archetype version was hard, because...well...you know...there isn't much reference to it. Even with the Episode II movie DVD, it only shows her at certain angles & at times, it seems like the design changes. I don't know, maybe it is just me.

Oh wow, you remembered what her name stands for!

Yes, I like her Episode II look a lot. It is her most graceful-looking form. ^^
