I love the character picture of Xykon! The winking smile is SO in-character of him.
Plus, you should do character pictures of the rest of the Order! I wants a Belkar... Your 'sexy shoeless god of war' rendition is awesome.
Since we're talking about characters...
I like your interpretation of the characters (Roy is better now that we've seen him more, too) except for Haley.
It's said several time that she has... let's say, wider hips than some other females. She's been taunted on that by her enemies, even Celia commented on it, and you can just look at Haley next to Celia to see their body shape is different.
This strip has Celia's comment, and you can compare their bodies http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0531.html
Anyway, my point is that Haley, as you drew her, seems to be the body type I'd expect Celia to be, while I'd imagine Haley to be more... "feminine". As in, with actual shapes. She looks too skinny to me.
Note that I'm not talking about breast size, only hip size.
Anyway, if we're nitpicking things, that's my nitpick of the day :P
But since it's your interpretation of the comic and not some canon remake, it's not really a problem. Just though I'd point it out since, now that Roy seems less problematic to me, Haley's the only one now that I don't find spot on.
To be fair, the strip you linked does show Haley is more endowed than Celia in addition to having wider hips.
Moreover, now that I reread your depiction of #468, I find Haley and Elan look like teenagers, not adults. It may be my lack of knowledge about the manga art style though.
Outsiders breathe, but do not need to eat or sleep.
If you didn't need to eat, you'd be pretty thin too :smalltongue:
Haley seems to have the right proportions for a human. Celia seems to have thinner proportions.
I admit that this was far better than I had expected. Good work.
I'll be waiting for more, just like everyone else.
My point was that Elagune drew Haley like she had a Kate Moss physique, when it would be better suited for Celia. Haley doesn't look like a "normal" or "average" human in Elagune's depiction, but a skinny girl, unhealthily skinny. That was my point.
I seem to be the only one here thinking so, but honestly, I can't imagine how Elagune could draw Celia as skinnier than his Haley without having her look so scary that there is no way Roy would get near her in a million years.
True, but it's a matter of proportions. Bigger hips do usually mean bigger breasts too. I meant that I wasn't pushing for Haley having abnormally huge breasts. I just didn't want people to misunderstand me.Quote:

We need a banner of Soon. Please? :smallbiggrin:
I see what you did there. LOL.
I was afraid that I sounded mean in my last post. First, I want to repeat once again that it's a nitpick and I'm not asking Elagune to change anything, just commenting.
And then, I want to explain what I mean. I realise that art styles can for instance have very thin characters, or plumpy ones, and that you really need to see them in comparison with one another. And it seems to me that Haley

Is pictured as much thinner and "shapeless" (androgynous if you will, skinny, whatever word you prefer) than the other females we've seen, who are Tsukiko:

Her waist is definitely thin, but her hips are wider.
and Miko:

Although we don't get such a good view of Miko, it seems to me her hips are fuller than Haley's.
Considering Haley is the one who has been referred to as having big hips several times (and I can believe people call other girls "fat" just like people call elves "androgynous", but when it happens often, chances are it's true, and we know V really IS androgynous, and Haley most likely really does have big hips (I wouldn't think of her as fat though. She's an adventurer, she wouldn't be fat. She would, however, be muscular enough for adventuring, and she could have wide hips, considering hips are bones and they don't shrink.)
Sorry, I wasn't trying to start a debate or anything. I'm just saying that Haley as pictured above looks to me like she has Celia's body type, and not what I would imagine to be Haley's body type.
This is what I mean when I say Haley looks like a teenager, though "skinny" is most likely more fitting and more accurate than "not fully developped."
I don't think she'd be able to use her bow if she had watermelons for breasts.
It would be uncomfortable, but she could bind her chest down. I've known women with rather large chests who managed exactly this.
Well, I love how you did Belkar, it really works great and is probably the best way you possibly could've interpreted the hair on him while making it look like Belkar still. The only nitpick, if that, that I have, is with regards to the way you did the knives. The way they bulge out around the handle, while cool, seems a little exotic, and less like the more regular/hunting knives I'd expect Belkar to be using. WONDERFUL though. :smallbiggrin:
I noticed the same thing, but I chalked it up to the artist deciding to draw it the way she wanted to draw it rather than adhering one hundred percent to the source material (... you know what I mean).
I'd be much more interested in what he/she can do with their own ideas- guarantee that I'll read it.
And I must say, most likely because of the stick figure format, I had not realized previously that Miko hits just about all the things I find attractive in women. That one picture...damn.
Well, I'd go for either idea, though personally I prefer the translation project at this point (but then, you're so good, who wouldn't?).
And dang, you make Miko attractive.
Amazons were a myth, so, yeah.
