Artist's Comments

An OC who appears in a Skies of Arcadia fic I'm writing with my friend Ianthe by the title of The Day the Moon Shines ([link] / [link]). He shows up in chapters 18 and 19 (the former currently being written), in a dream of Ramirez's (YAY FOR FUCKED UP DREAM THEATRE^TM).

This was a pencil sketch, but it scanned really badly. I'm going to ink it, then have get tsukasa to CG it 'cause I have neither the skills nor the resources to CG anything. Bah. Perhaps in the future I should just get some color pencils...

Yes, that's Ramirez's sword Michaol's holding. In the fic, Ianthe and I named it Ilazki. Thus, "Michaol with Ilazki".

Clothing folds=evil.
Ramirez's sword=evil.
Realizing the head is just a touch off-center and just a touch too small after you've drawn most of the rest of the picture and you like how the head looks already=EVILEVILEVIL.

I drew this on an angle on the original paper...I forget why. The cape and sword almost didn't fit. I actually had to redraw Michaol's right arm to make sure I'd be able to get the tip in. cc;;

I really like how the feet and hands came out, though. o_o Originally, the feet were much too small... The picture looks much better overall now that I've inked it (scanned better, too).

I started this on the 19th, incidentally.

You drew that? :D That looks awesome! I can't wait to see Tsu-chan color it. ^^
:iconeeveelover:

So THAT'S what Michaol looks like. I kinda pictured him with long hair for some reason.

Anyways, it looks really good! Anyone who can draw Ramirez's sword deserves respect.
:iconregretfuldarkness:
The sword still looks very good.... And I like the fringe on the cape. ^^; And the shoes are good... o.o Shoes are hard....

I look forward to seeing his character introduced in the next chapter.....

There is nothing after this moment. In the end there is only you. What will you choose?
:iconayu-ohseki:
Thanks. n.n; That sword was total hell to draw... I drew it twice for practice, then after I screwed up on the drawing itself, had to redraw it twice before I was reasonably satisfied. ^^; I still think I could have done better... cc;

And originally, Michaol did have long hair, in the form of a ponytail. But when I actually drew it, it made him look too much like Tamahome, so I got rid of it.
:iconnyaoneko:
Now he just looks kinna like Sasame from Pretear (anime, anyways). But that's not a bad thing. Still looks good...^^

I envy people that can draw full body.
:iconayu-ohseki:
The difference being I've never seen Pretear. o_o
:icontheneko:
wah.. @ @ Having attempted (and come crashing to the ground in a magnificent, wailing ball of flame and badness) to draw Ramirez's sword in the past, I now congratulate you on doing a very good job on it. xD Not to mention the entire rest of the pichur. It's good to see what teh Michaol looks like (I just finished reading the latest chapter- thanks so much for guaranteeing my inability to sleep through the night. Jeez. >_< Accursed meatpuppet. It will haunt me~).
Yes, clothing folds are evil. This is why everyone should go about naked. *AHEM*
An', I like his boots. ;_;

and the only thing that's different is
underneath my hat

Meat doll. ^^ It's called a meat doll. < 3 I'm glad it freaked you out, though. It means Ianthe and I accomplished what we were aiming for. :D Although I guess I should apologize for giving you the heebie-jeebies, eh...? ^^;; Well, thank you for the comment. ^^v To tell you the truth, I screwed up on Rami's sword. See the hilt? You can't tell from the official art (which I used as my reference), but it's spiraled and has a knob on the end. I only realized that when I played through Legends again. Bah, I say. Bah. c_c
