Xenogears - MoonSilver SketchBook

~ Xenogears ~

Mostly Krelian fanart for my Krel shrine.
Couple of Citan pics and others at the bottom.

Krelian

Date: illustrated & coloured May 2001
Annotation: It's Karellen ^_^, as I've named him in this particular picture after his namesake, who I originally drew behind him in my actual sketchbook, but did not include in this picture. This has gotta be the FASTEST colouring job I've ever done. The whole thing only took me... oh 2 hours. (You're thinking: if that's the fastest how long are the long ones??)
Anyhow, this isn't very special, just him standing there.

Title: Halo
Date: late July 2000
Annotation: This is Krelian in all his former Nisan refinery. I have absolutely no idea where the colours of his outfit are supposed to go. There aren't any pictures on the 'net for me to use as reference, and no fanart either, since people usually like to draw him butt naked ^_^' I agonized over it, but then I just made it up and it doesn't look too bad...

Date: June. 1999
Annotation: Dear me. Well I didn't colour this, my ever-so-talented nesan, Aiva, did. I swear, even after all this time, this colouring job is still better than whatever I can do. My poorer attempt at colouring this picture is right here.

Other

Date: Drawn June 1999, coloured Dec. 30 1999
Subject: Citan Uzuki
Annotation: Hey this is WAY better than the first time I coloured it. Too bad it takes me a damn long time to colour stuff, else I'd have done it sooner. I always did like what the lens flare could do to his shiny ornament thingies on his belt. His hair was almost an accident which is why the top of his head doesn't look like his ponytail.

Title: The Solarian Angel
Date: May 15, 1999; Coloured Jan.2, 2000
Subject: Citan
Annotation: I coloured this whole thing in one day. Boy does it take me a long time to colour (anything). Ah well, colour helps mask the sometimes blatant errors in proportions. The original picture was very badly drawn so it turned out to be a very sloppy colouring job compared to the cleaner lines of some of my other coloured pictures.

Date: June 1999 coloured Nov.29/99
Subject: Sigurd
Annotation:This is pretty nice colouring, but I guess it could have used a bit more contrast. Too bad. I used to like Sigurd, until I found out how many people think he's yaoi.

Title: Family (or "He has his daddy's nose")
Date: 2001 2nd quarter
Subject: Krelian, Miang and (chibi)Ramsus
Annotation: This is a little whacked. Only an otaku like me could possibly want to see these three as some kind of family unit. Little 'Ramses' is cute, ne? Although he doesn't have a nose here, I've always thought that his does look like Krelian's, but that's probably just the way they're drawn compounded with my ehrr.. over-active imagination.

Title: Tomorrow's Children
Date: May 18th 2001 does it say?
Subject: Krelian (who else), a young Ramsus, and Emeralda
Annotation: This is also a little whacked. Too much Xenogears + too much Childhood's End = this picture.
My hand at trying to colour (doujinshi-like) with pencil crayon. What's with me and kid-Ramsus?

Subject: Ex- Elements (Jesse, Ramsus, Sigurd, Citan) Date: May 1999
