Description
KOS MOS AZURE armor. This variation is intended for use in my fanfic. This is just a prototype idea, though.This optional armor is designed to augment KOS MOS' long range (beam and missile) weapons.

Amazing design. If there ever was another Xenosaga installment I'd really like to see something like this in it.

I wish Bandai Namco would continue the game series. However, the Azure design will appear in the fan fic story I'm working on.

Can't wait to read it. And thanks for adding the picture of my comic cover to your favorites. It sucks though. And I can't draw comics at all.

Thanks again!! Well I draw a lot, so I'll get a bit better. I even used to draw in my math book, my math teacher got mad and I think she hated me. lol

I was too scared to draw in my science and Social Studies. My SS teacher used to be in the army and my science teacher yells REALLY loudly.

Nice, I like her weapon. This makes me want to make up my own type of KOS MOS armor.

I gotta ask...how long does it take to draw these?
(sketch, ink, color, whatever)
I'd like to know the source of these inspirations.

FuntimeCthulhu In reply to BlizzardTerrak [2008-08-04 21:39:53 +0000 UTC]
Well... using KOS MOS AZURE as an example...
Pencil, then ink... About 45 min on something this detailed.
Scan, file format, and sizing/cropping- 5 min.
Black line cleanup and fixes- 10 min.
First color (click-and-fill) 20 min.
Second color (cell-style shading) 15 min.
Additional shading- 5 min.
Background/foreground layers- about 10 min.
lighting effects- 5 min.
final touchup/save/reformat/flatten/resave - 5 min.
All told... about 2 hours... I tried to break it down into stages. The amount of detail, as well as foreground/background elements and effects can add a lot of time to the drawing. Also, I sometimes experiment with different tools and filters to see what kind of effects I come up with. If I like, I keep, if not ... Deleted!

It takes time, but the more ya practice, the faster it gets. I think I've got nearly 500 pages of comic art posted on this site... That's about 1/3rd of the total comic pages I've drawn.

All i can do is squeeze art in when i have the chance... If it wasn't for "real life" getting in my way... I could crank about 4 pages a day of finished comic book art.
(Mebbe if I win a 300 million$$$ lottery, I'll have all the time I need to draw.) If I had that kind of cash, I'd call Bandai, re-hire the original creative team, and the new Xenosaga IV game would be on the store shelves by Xmas!

FuntimeCthulhu In reply to multigal [2008-08-04 02:02:35 +0000 UTC]
Thanks much! I think she's one of the better characters to come along... I dunno why...I mean, there are dozens of new shows and games every year, and hundreds of good characters.
For some reason, a very few of them spark my interest. KOS MOS is one of them. She's a good character from a good story... And such a tragic ending...
I guess that's why I did the fanfic... To bring her back even if her actual creators/copyright holders have chosen not to.
I want to do a good job with this story. I want to do a decent job of bringing her back, not just a bunch of sketchy scribbles. The downside is that takes a lot longer to do the artwork, but I hope the effort is appreciated.

multigal In reply to FuntimeCthulhu [2008-08-04 03:16:15 +0000 UTC]
the effort you put shows
i couldn't just start doing this myself
your style is unique and it gives your fanfic a different flavor but you keep true to KOS-MOS's nature
and not just that, you even make new forms for her that look believable
keep doing you best!

No worries. The "GOLEM" form is an intermediate form. "SHOCK","AZURE", and"ARIA", are three options that KOS MOS will have later in the series. (ARIA is my next drawing in this series).
