Touya

I love the sword that he keeps nowhere.

Okay! This is Touya, drawn with the new expertise drawn from being given a manga-drawing book and Tsubasa Ch. Vol. 1 at the same time. Yay! His head came out quite well. The rest of him could need work, though the cloak is better than usual.

Androgynous Angels

Whoosh

Whoosh

This picture was inspired by the Christmas story broadcast on the radio: Brother Heinrich’s Christmas. Very nice story, lovely music. I liked the part where the angels all come and dance, and that’s why I drew this.

Angel are 100% androgynous. There’s no need for anything else, even less than the kalma’ei.

The Coffee Cantata is very funny!!!

Battlesuits colour!

Fwoosh! Indeed!

The colour version of THESE GUYS!!! Anime to the max (sort of)!!! Isn’t that cool? I admit my colouring skills have developed somewhat since then. Actually, I thought it was pretty cool having the armour shadows on a different layer than the colour of the armour itself, since I could just use the dodge tool and it wouldn’t change the shadows at all! I had a little trouble with Phil’s glowing sword, though. I think Eric’s flamethrower turned out better than I could have expected.

Peggy has pearls on the collar of her armour. She’s ‘the girl’, after all. Somehow even though Eric’s main colour is green I think of him as ‘the blue guy’.

I’m not sure how they walk. Maybe they have giant jets built into those oversized boots, and they just hover wherever they need to go. >_<

I do need to find a new way to draw lines, though – the way used here is just using the ‘straight line’ tool (I only have Photoshop 5) over top of the original sketch. I didn’t know about the ‘multiply’ setting either…
