XIII Page 006

Surprise, surprise! OK, not really. Even I saw that coming. My excuse? It was at first sight. Seriously! There's more to this than meets the eye, though. See Page 9 and 10 for details. HAHAH!

On a more real note, I am currently working on ART for an Exhibit. And a poster for said Exhibit. An AWESOME poster. It has Elle, Robots and Nintendo! It's also the first time in forever that I've actually colored artwork. It's actually looking kinda nice. Maybe I will post it here at a later date.


More on the story of XIII, this time focusing on character design and symbols. Have you noticed howwe never see the eyes of the Male Protagonist? No one ever does. It's not that they can't see them or that they're not there... They just aren't noticeable. You look at the glasses first (Which technically are a deep shade of red), then at everything else. If you come out alive, that is. This is a guy on a mission, a guy with style. Do you think he likes doing what he does? Maybe he doesn't. Maybe it's just duty. Does he feel remorse? Probably not. All the weapons he uses for his mission are numbered with a roman numeral (Can you guess where this is going?) and are "bladed" weapons. No arrows, lances, or guns. Just knives and swords (Usually not too large, though). Around Page 9 there will be a more interesting bit of trivia about the weapons he uses. Also of note: All the weapons he uses have been designed already. They're based on real swords and knives (Just like the guns are based on real guns), though not very accurate (My weapon-drawing skills are lame and poor! POOR AND LAME).
