[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

Well done! I like all of them, especially the Nadleeh/Camus without the forked eyebrows. LOL! You did it well, they are kind of scary :P
The other anime you remember with the scary platinum blonde is Black Lagoon, and the lady is Balalaika. Yeah, she reminds me a lot of Integra and Chall. ^^

Thank you dearie. I'm glad you like 'em.

... Black Lagoon, and the lady is Balalaika.

YES! YES that's the one! I have yet to see the anime or read the manga though. (I just read that reference from a thread at Animesuki.)
