[Fanart - Gundam 00] Gunskittles + Chall

[piyomon.livejournal.com]

In the absence of Chall the Bamboo Fun Tablet, I've decided that I cannot let this week pass without drawing.

Today, we have two of taichara's Gunskittles: GN-004 Nadleeh (twinfaced) & GN-003 Kyrios (mercifulwind); and a sketch of Chall Acustica.

Nadleeh is played by Aquarius Camus of the Saint Seiya manga. I am personally iffy with regards to his forked eyebrows, so here I took the liberty of making them "normal" looking.

In drawing these two Gunskittles, I did not think of the character they were played by. Though of course, the main references were the icons chosen by their mun, but I called upon my "artistic liberties" and design them the way I see and feel them.

Kyrios is played by Seahorse Baian, also of Saint Seiya. As I was drawing his eyes and hair, I realized that he looked a little like his Meister. ;) My personal quip on this piece is that he looks a tad too young... ^^;;

I also had Gundam Seed Destiny's Rey Za Burrel in my head while I was drawing this, which explains the "curls." :D;;

And finally a Chall. This is actually a study on what clothes I can give her, and how much hair I will have to work with. I also wanted to emulate the styles of Taraku Uon and Mori Kaoru of giving women some more meat, but it would seem that I'll need more practice in that regard...

As I was drawing this piece, I really want to give Chall a happy ending -- in the main timeline, or in the Gunskittle-verse. ;)

Man, I totally missed using my colored pencils! XD

Normal eyebrows are fine for Nadleeh ;3 I didn't want to try editing them out of his icons (for a few different reasons), but he doesn't have the fearsome forks so terribly as Camus. Ehehe.

And interpreting them away from the icons is not only just fine but a good thing! -- because the Gunskittles don't look exactly like the StS characters (or Arios), those are just the closest examples I can find to how I picture them myself :3;;


Kyrios does look a little youngish (more rounded in the face, so cute), but it's all good :3 And the "curls" -- he does have some of those. I wish the Baian art was a little more consistent that way.

And yeee~ees, he does look a little like his Meister ;3 Which has led to all kinds of interesting comments and moments ~~


I like Chall here too. :3 The colours work for her very nicely, and I like seeing her with her hair down ~

I didn't have much problems with Nadleeh -- though should I draw him again, I may have to tweak the hair just a little bit -- make it thicker and heavier.

Kyrios, I was thinking of one of the Gunskittle RP threads in gundressed -- I think one of them mentioned in passing about Kyrios' resemblance to Alle.

Rey was attacking my brain while I was drawing, so I'll keep that Alle resemblance in mind next time.

And I think Chall looks better with her hair down, albeit more "docile." Well, the ponytail was kinda meh for me.

Glad you like 'em dearie!

If Rey's been attacking your brain, you might have to borrow the "other" Rey from a certain Harofather ...? ;3

Er... would that Rey have different hair? :Dc

[taichara]

Do you want him to have different hair? ;3

*grins* It's not terribly different -- enough of a curl to match him a little better to Rau, maybe ~
