Artist Comment

Say hello to our dear Mini Tokyo moderators, and of course, Bot[Chii].

I cannot express how overjoyed I am....-_-* or tired. This drawing was done in intervals. Because of how much thought and mental "digging" went into it, I ended up falling asleep, or getting severely tired during the drawing process. I tried best I could to get everyone's personality through the pencil lines. And honestly, I hope I did. Those of you who view my work on a regular basis, know I draw girls most of the time..which that is because of a certain somebody...*cough* Tiffany..But I drew 7 guys in this. And I might also add, that I am *very* VERY pleased with the results. Most of the time my men looks feminine ^_^* This whole drawing took me a week. And I was worried at first because I'm not too good with guys. SO! I referenced my nearest Range Murata artbook, which happened to be the Last Exile Doujinshi books he did, and studied them long and hard. I even practiced a few..All in 48 hours..X_X So much work....chose to learn from Range Murata because I love how he does men in general. He can form bone structure like no other. But however, I did not draw any of the Moderators using facial reference. I just learned another style, that's all. And now for expos for the mods.

Sheqel- My first mental image was of him in the middle. Inspiration for his character came from his avatar. I had to predict personality with images...which sometimes doesn't work out. But I really like how he turned out. I wanted him to look kinda like a background image, so he's supposed to be a bit bigger then everyone else. He was the first one I drew. -_-* everyone one at school thought he was a girl..His back is too you and he has a cape that everyone was placed on.

Keltosh- I based his outfit off of his avatar as well, also his name. He was the easiest to draw. He turned out really well. Kel was the fifth one I drew. Everyone asked me if he was depressed about something..I think he looks more serious.

Nuriko- The second one I drew. Based her outfit and expressions from her name and avatar. I originally wanted her to have a fan with that symbol on it, I put that there because If I'm correct..she has something against hentai..I think...anyway. I really like her pose. The word "MOD" is on one of her hair sticks. I really like how her hair turned out.

Biriwilg- A certain word was inspiration. "Fragments", and her previous avatar and sig with the text "fullmetal mod" under her avatar. Her design mostly came from the word "fragments". The word "MOD" is on the block hair piece at the end of her braid. People thought she was adorable. Oh and the pieces of metal behind her form a wing. third one drawn.

Sammo- Ah, Sammo. I remember saying "Work with me!" so many times...T_T it was like the sketch didn't want legs..But, I am exceptionally happy with how he turned out. LOL If anyone is wondering, yes he has those guns that when the trigger is pulled, those little flags come out. He has two and they say "Ban!" and "Restrict!". I thought the idea was genius. A lot of girls at school liked his sketch in particular. He was the fourth one drawn."MOD" is on his guns.

GundamZZ- I based his design off of his name and avatar entirely. I will admit that unlike Renato, who in my opinion is THE best mech artist I have ever seen, I cannot draw mecha. Though I tried on his design. So I had to base personality with facial _expression. I like the head gear though. His sword is some sort of light sword. "MOD" is on his shoulder decor. Sixth one I drew.

Osiris. I laugh every time I look at him honestly. *looks down at sketch* LOL. If its any of the mods I'm sure I got down, its him. His avatar, Name, and personality were basis for design. His hat looks funny, but its an actual decor that the pharaoh's wore. I am also very pleased with how he turned out. "MOD" is in hieroglyphics on the strap for his arrows. The ends of his arrows is the eye of Horus. Yes, that's a pair of *pantsu's" under his hand. Everyone said he looked sadistic. Seventh one I drew.

Jinzhou- His sketch started with his head, like all my works do. His _expression had a "proud" sort one, and then his design popped into my head. Turned out really well. The "M" on his had stands for moderator.

Kev- Everyone told me to make him a chibi. I did. He's in Biri's orb.

Bot[Chii]- at the last minute, I decided to add her. She's a big part as well as the mods. Plus there was a blank space next to Keltosh, so it was her destiny to fill it. Thank You for that."BOT" is on her pendant.

No references were used for clothing designs, expressions, hair etc. All original. Only reference used was techniques from Range Murata.

And now, to end this. I would like to personally thank the mods/admin. Sammo, Nuriko, Osiris, Kev, Keltosh, Biriwilg, GundamZZ, Jinzhou, and of course Sheqel. Though some of you dont or do know me, I would like to Thank You for having the opportunity to meet, know, and draw you. It really has been a privilege. This will be a memorial for the time spent here on MT, and will always remain a reminder that I was apart of it. Because of this drawing, I was able to learn new things. And as a special thanks, I am going to do all the mods/amin their own character drawings. Thank You.

    Very impressive. I like this work. I think you spent a lot of time on this work, so I'll add it to my favorites.

  2. XavierCrow Apr 02, 2005

    Hehheh! What a great idea, Eva! So much hard work and it really payed off! I hope the mods themselves see this. ;) Re-creating personality through imagery is hard and you have my respect for taking on such a difficult task. I really like the "ban" "restrict" guns, they're really clever. All in all a good picture and something truely original. Well done! Oh and it's going in as a favourite.

  20. GintheTwilightswords Apr 04, 2005

    What is there to say about this drawing that hs not already been said? It is an a spectacle of talent and beauty that is unique in it's own grace. All of the characters mtach up nicely to their counterparts, detailing is wonderfully as always, and I luv the designs. You spent so much time and put so much effort on this piece that you are willing to do indiviual sketches for the mods. Honestly, I don't witness such effort and generosity everyday, and you are something else, Evanrued :) . You have done a magnificent job, instant fav for me :D .

  21. pamelaho Apr 05, 2005

    woah.... (sorry for the caps, but saying this is almost like shouting) I LOVE IT!

  22. walkure245 Apr 07, 2005

    This is wickedly cool-looking. Out of the mods, I like Jinzhou's drawing the best. XD He has the greatest expression on his face which really make him stand out more. Nuriko's pretty cool too. Kind of reminds of Lulu from FFX. Generally, I like all the designs. They each have their own original style that belongs to them. Great stuff~ I was wondering . . . r u going to color it?

    I dont know what to say O_o but seriously i know its really hard to make a character design based on one's personality and to add to that u have to know them well to make one fit for them. +fav

  24. musicangel Apr 08, 2005

    Jeeez you sure good at drawing!!! i think it's faab and it awesome!!! you must know the mods personalities pretty well!!! I sense ALOT of energy from it and it really is amazing!!! *adds to favs* ;)
