Title: Team Steallar!
Description: Kimi's here with her promise fufilled!
Kimiko - March 2, 2006 05:39 AM (GMT)
Okies, since meh scanner was hooked to David's comp, I've been able to scan something really quick before goin' ta bed! Yesh, Kimi-chan's art ish here! :D
Dis ish teh first of (hopefully not very many, I wanna get it done right teh first few times) teh Team Stellar Design pages I've made. It was teh very first I'd made after workin' with everything HA gave me and what I was able to find in teh Nite's GF/TS creation contest. I will be posting teh seperate design pages tomarrow, one for each member of Team Stellar.
Now, before posting and leaving again, I must point out dat I haven't been able to come up with a very good design for Kayhat, since I couldn't find BR's entry of her in HA's contest. I'll be closer to that if HA decides to help me out with her. Because of this, she is not in this pic.

If you can guess teh names from left to right, I'll give you some FLAN. :D
Any questions? Feel free to ask! Even if it's art questions, Kimi-chan will answer them for ya. HA, let me know if you have any qualms (X3 I lurve dat word) about any of these designs.
OH! ANd since this is his first visual appearence EVER (though not in official design), I'll tell you that teh first person ish X13. You're on your own from there. At least til tomarrow.

:o
Once again, the absolutely wonderful art of Supah Kimeh blows me away!
Dang. You're such a fantastic artists.
Sama: That's our Kimi!
Kimi: Thanks Sama! Now... make me a bagged lunch.
Sama: u_u; Okies.
Joo be rockin' Kimi.
Guess? I didn't see that part. Okay, me guess!
X13, Nite, Solar, Starlite, Luna and Chakra!
I guess X13 cause, well it says X13 on him.
We all know what Nite looks like, so Nite has to be teh dark one on accounta dah black fur.
Solar has all the spines, so he's next.
I'm 99.9% that numbah four is Starlite.
Then, I'd say Luna, cause you said Kayhat ISN'T in the pic, so it hasta be Luna cause the only other girls are Starlite and Chakra!
And finally; Chakra! On accounta she has a shinobi-ish outfit on, and Chakra was named after 'chakra' from Naruto. :3
Be I be right? Or be I be wrong?
Cojo - March 2, 2006 06:58 AM (GMT)
:o :o :o :OO :OO :OO I am at a lost for words. But here are some.
THOSE ROCK! OH MY GOSH!! CANT WAIT TO SEE HA FREAK OUT ON THEM> AWESOME JOB KIMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
X13, :Nite: :Solar: :Chakra: :Kayhat: :Luna:
BlueRush - March 2, 2006 02:45 PM (GMT)
:OO Awesome art, Kimi!! :D Well worth the wait!!
Hee hee, I love Chakra's redesign... so ninja-ish!! ^_^
Haha, you're both wrong! The order is X13, Nite, Solar, Starlite, REA, Chakra!!
I have a pic of Kayhat, but you asked HA and I'm bizzazy so... XD I'll let him get it.
AGodofIrony - March 2, 2006 06:13 PM (GMT)
Awesomers Kimi! I need a scanner now too...
Since I'm incredibly bad with names, and GS and BR already guessed, I'm not going to guess again, though I was glad I recoginized Nite, and was able to tell who X13 was, otherwise...not so much...
Anyhow, awesome design, I can't wait to see more.
GoldenSama - March 2, 2006 07:43 PM (GMT)
REA! >.< D'oh! I forgot about her!
Crystal Rose - March 2, 2006 09:59 PM (GMT)
O.O
SUPAH AWESOME!!!!! I love it!!!! *is loving Rea's design*
*heck, is loving ALL the designs*
Perfect!! Simply Perfect Kimi!!
Kimiko - March 3, 2006 01:01 AM (GMT)
OMG, THANK YOU for all teh wonderfully nice comments! ;_; You guys are so great.
Now that I've posted them, I shall go into teh design of each character! First up, Rea:
She went from this:

(made beh CR! :3)
To this (unless HA wants me to change her, though I think he'll like her design as she is):

Ever since CR's character was accepted into HA's team, she's been their combat specialist, which means she's gotta be tough. So I made sure that while drawing her, I kept that aspect in mind and made sure she would LOOK tough. SHe has to be one of meh favorite characters... she's so much fun to draw! X3 I can draw her from heart at any moment of teh day, her design ish so much fun!
Gotta go, but I'll tell more about meh adventure of drawing Rea once I touch up X13's page a bit (since I AM an official Rea/X13 fangirl).
HellAvatar - March 3, 2006 04:00 AM (GMT)
Heh...
I've been waiting for this.
I love the ninja look for X13. It's near-perfect.
I've not imagined him to be a ninja, but... Hey, it works!
Nite and Solar look their usual badass selves, although I like the touch of Nite's staff. It makes him look cooler, and always keeps a weapon close by, however blunt.
Chakra looks like a ninja SHOULD look, Rea is the badass lady on the team and then there is Starlite... Who can think that one such as that could blow planets away?
You outdid yourself, Kimi. You REALLY outdid yourself.
And here is Kayhat for ye.

And now...
CRITIQUE!!! Smile, everyone!
*gets clobbered with bricks*
But let's start it up.
First, the pictures are good. VERY good. But they were all drawn with an unsharpened pencil. Yes, I have noticed. Some of the lines are blurry. The faces are sometimes hard to fully make out, not to mention the bodies. I know it is your style to draw the bodies small and the feet big and it adds a certain style.
Second, Solar's tail. It's actually more like a club with outward-sticking spikes, not just spiny.
Third, back to X. This makes him look cool, and I bet that the colored version, if there will ever be one, will look even cooler, but I tried to make this guy smightly more human by giving him the actual facial features of a mobian.
Fourth, Starlite. She looks a bit TOO naive. Seriously. She's not exactly the naivew alien type. She is the accepting, tomboy alien who can kick anyone's ass without protest. She looks absolutely fine like that, but it's a very unusual pose for Starly.
Except for those little marks, I do not see any other errors except in the style design itself, and that is purely subjective since this is the rapidverse after all.
An amazing amount of work put into this, Kimi. Thank you. Thank you. And thank you again.
Sailor N - March 3, 2006 05:14 AM (GMT)
:OO THAT IS SSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CCOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111 What does Harle look like though? :huh:
blazn'b - March 3, 2006 05:14 AM (GMT)
wow.....o.o.....ur a great artist kimiko!! ^-^ very nice!B)
Kimiko - March 3, 2006 09:24 PM (GMT)
Why thank you, HA. :) As for you critique:
1.) I hadn't intended for X13 to end up lookin' like a ninja, it just sorta happened, I guess. XD And I'll be happy to fix up some facial features this weekend. :3
2.) >< Yeah, I started to doubt Starlite's look after a while, too. SHe gave off TOO much of teh Starfire vibe, while Starlite should look at least half as tough as she is (if not more). I'll work on that, too.
3.) I'm SO glad you like Rea, because I didn't even change much on her orginal design, and I couldn't imagine drawing her any other way. Same with Chakra.
4.) Solar's tail. Needs to be fixed. Got it. :)
Now... to get a better pencil! ^_^;

Kimiko - March 5, 2006 10:59 PM (GMT)
Okay!
With meh unexpected trip to teh mall on Saturday (I got a GIR shirt and Volume 9 of Naruto!), I didn't get as much done this weekend as I wish I had (but I have a dentist appointment to get meh cavities filled on Tuesday, and I may not go back to school for the rest of dat day, in which case I'll do some art then, too), but I DID take HA's advice and redid Rea and Chakra's profile pics.

HA, I took your advice about makin' teh feet smaller... meh art's made some kind of huge breaktrough! :D I'm not sure if anyone can tell me what Jinsei Iroiro means... but flan and cake for anyone who can! THe smaller pics are just random...

Chakra! The first smaller shot is just of her doing some random
hand signs... and teh other of her throwing shuriken at some unlucky fellow...
Next I'll make X13... promise!
Crystal Rose - March 5, 2006 11:39 PM (GMT)
I love them all Kimi!!!1 Your style is so darn adorable!!! Rea is perfect either way--I actually like the huge feet but both ways are cool ^_^ and Chakara is WAY awesome!!!
Clown Prince of Crime - March 6, 2006 06:09 PM (GMT)
You have a unique style that'd be hard to duplicate. Very well done, Kimi. And now I finally know what X-13 looks like. BR has me on a little assignment involving drawing EVERYONE from the Rapidverse... I'll have to redo Chakra with these ninja clothes, though, since it makes her look so much cooler.
Good job, Kimi. ^_^ Do you take requests? :p
Kimiko - March 6, 2006 09:52 PM (GMT)
:o
Thank you, Spoony-sama! A compliment from an artist such as yourself is one of teh HIGHEST honor. :3
Now that you mention it, I SHOULD start taking advantage of this free time I've been given and do some requests...
OKAY! If you have a request for Kimi-chan, you must
A.) Thank Spoony for reminding me that I was gonna do this at some point
B.) Just make sure you tell me what you want in some organized manner. Also, do not ask me for sommethin' amazingly stupendously hard (no Luke Skywalker escape-from-teh-explosion-at-teh-last-minute style action scenes, please ><;), I AM only a super hero. I came make Teams or profile pics for OCs... scenes from a hilarious moment in an RP (I did that once or twice during FtE, but I can't for teh life of me find them now)... even short comics (SHORT). I may only take three or four requests at once, so no flooding until I insist that you do.
Thank you, and have a nice day. :)
HellAvatar - March 8, 2006 05:10 PM (GMT)
Alright!
Personal profiles for Chakra and Rea complete!
And now, I believe you will make X13 into a final.
I was wondering though... Are you planning on drawing the rest of them? Solar, Nite, Starlite and Kayhat?
Because Kay would be hilarious. She's the female version of Bean the Dynamite, only more psyched and obsessed.
If you will draw those others, I'd be extremely grateful. It's up to you, though.
So far, so good. Rea and Chakra are perfectly drawn, and Chakra looks even better in the ninja outfit. But don't make X look too much like a nonja, please? He is a bit too heavy for that... After all, he DOES weigh over 350 pounds of solid nanite mass... XD
I'll make sure to pester you on your request board from time to time too.
Kimiko - March 9, 2006 12:09 AM (GMT)
Thank you, HA. :3 And yes, next it X13's final copy, and I promise to make him look less-ninja-y (I still can't imagine how X ended up that way... some habits are hard ta break, I guess). And yes, again, I will be making one of Nite, Solar, Kayhat, etc (I've gotta make one for Sandra; don't let me forget!) Now...
To teh Kimi Cave! -points in heroic fashion-
EDIT: OKay, no X13 as of yet, but I DID get one for Kayhat... once again, not teh official design... just something for HA to review and decide on changes, so that next time I can get it right.

I'll explain character design later, DAVID wants his comp back. Hang on, dammit! >.<
GoldenSama - March 9, 2006 10:32 PM (GMT)
XD BOOM!
That's fantastic Kimiko!
Once again, the Super Art of Super Kimi is Super Cool.
Kimiko - March 9, 2006 11:07 PM (GMT)
Thankies, Rice! ^o^
Now, for character design rant!
Well, to start off, I had to change teh outfit BR had orginally given her. I hope you would agree, HA, that she needed something... else. The design on teh shirt was suppose to be somewhat of an explosion-type design thingamajig. I gave her three sticks of dynamite, a belt that holds stuff (like teh pocket for her special explosive, the one that can blow an entire island... and it's so small!), and a bomb. THat enough for ya? XD As for teh smaller pics... I remember how much I love old cartoons that have the character holding a stick of dynamite without realizing that the fuse is almost out... and then it explodes in their face, leaving them in a smoldering state of cartoony aftershock... there will never be time when that ISN'T funneh!
As for colors, I will keep her in her original color format. Oranges, yellows, and tan-ishness... if I ever get around to coloring it; X13 is still in progress! ;_;
Dark Phazon - March 9, 2006 11:38 PM (GMT)
(I can't believe I haven't commented on these yet...)
Awesome artwork! They all really seem to capture more than just design in them, but some personality of the characters as well. Very Nice Work!!

:3 WOW! :D Awesome!
I love the redesign, Kimeh! (And plus I've been waiting for a reason to use that random heart! XD)
If you can think of a better color than yellow, go right ahead! ^_^
Kimiko - March 10, 2006 04:55 AM (GMT)
Thankies, BR and DP! :3 I sure hope HA feels teh same way.
HellAvatar - March 10, 2006 04:59 AM (GMT)
Actually, I think that the boom was even more hilarious than that...
Kayhat: "Oh, this bomb is absolutely harmless. Don;t worry, everything's fi-" *BOOM!*
That's what I imagined it to be. And it fits PERFECTLY to her character. And her new design shall rule the universe! ... in it's own way.
But I'm serious. It's PERFECT.
Kimiko - March 10, 2006 05:32 AM (GMT)
:D Yaaaaay.
-yawns- Tomarrow's Friday, more art then. But for now, Kimi-chan needs to SLEEP. -puts on nightcap-
GoldenSama - March 10, 2006 05:35 AM (GMT)
Goodnight Kimi!
I may have a request for you later, but not till you finish HA's stuff, cause his is for RPs, mine is just for sillyness.
HellAvatar - March 15, 2006 11:13 PM (GMT)
Yea. So will I.
Though I can't wait for the next Stellar pic...
