Realms of Mianol

[Ajiryn]

Okay, okay, I'm on, stop BITING ME! Bad KAZ!

Ahehehehe. Moving on..... All comments are by yours truly, unless otherwise noted~!

Ketone
-He definitely looks the part for being the main character. Light, fluffy, and determined-looking, I can't help but imagine him as being the main of an RPG. As for the cape, I don't really see anything too out of hand there. Being the RPG geek I am, I've noticed that the main always has a cape or a scarf of sorts to compliment the look. I had taken the cape to be an intentional detail. ^_^
-Can't really find any complaint here, Links.
-[Kazuki] He's cuuuuuuuuute! <3
-[Skyes] Isaac comes to mind, for some reason. ^_^

Hyacinth
-Wow, this one is detailed. Everything comes together to give her that fabulous kind of look. Reminds me a bit of somebody, but I just can't place my finger on it....
-The cape DOES seem a bit out of place on this one. Probably just me.

Regius
-He looks well armored- A foil to your other, not-as-suited characters. ^_^
-The armor seems a bit odd- But that might be only because FFXI has some awesome looking armor that I've grown accustomed to seeing. Sorry, I can't help it. Pay this bullet no mind!
-[Skyes] He seems like the average Tank to me... He needs something a bit unique to set him apart. But still a pretty cool lookin' set of armor. What stat bonuses does it have?

Elathas
-His clothing seems quite plain, which is actually how I imagined it to be while reading through the story.
-He seems a bit... too raccoon-ly? Also, he looks a bit more like a cat.
-[Kazuki] But he's cuuuuuute tooooooo. <3

Lynx
-Wow. He strikes me as the high-leveled character that joins your party just in time to save you from some dastardly plot point. Hehe, everything just.... fits, in this one.
-[Kazuki] And he's cute. :3
-[Skyes] Haha, now THAT is one heck of a character.

Lyn
-Naturally, I fell in love with this design. Being a person who likes thief-ish characters, this one looks the part, and I can imagine this one actually being so. The assortment of doohickeys only adds to the essence.
-[Skyes] O_o I just like her look. Period. Bikini-
-[Kazuki] No.

Sabrina
-I can't really relate to this character type- It's a personality I've never really worked with. But to the best of my imagination, I'd say my mind drew a portrait pretty darn close to this. Freaky!
-[Kazuki] Move aside, boy! She reminds me a lot of a character I used to use a lot in my (tiny, archetypal) stories. But I'm curious, what does Jodie mean about 'knock-off'?

Ralph
-I. Am. Jealous. That jacket looks like what I had in mind for Ajiryn- only done RIGHT. =P
Weakness: Unfortunately, I cannot tell very much about Ralph from this drawing as a character.
-[Kazuki] Oh my god, he seems like the cool character that you get a totally kick-ass transportation thing from- Like Seitzer!
-[Skyes] The chain seems a little non-fad with his suit. But the FF character Rufus comes to mind when I look at this, so you've got my props anyday!

Josh
-He scares me. Strikes me as the odd-ball, but in a good way, y'know. ^_^
-[Kazuki] But he's weird in a cute way. Like GAU! Uwwwwwaaaaaao!

Sarath
-The big bad guy all by himself in this pic? Tis' nothing short of awesome. This version seems more tuned in to being... well, Sarath.
-Curiosity question: In the RP, Tifa is an immigrant of sorts, right? Would that mean that Sarath's conquest came from the planet Mianol itself?!?! I would read his profile, but my eyes hurt right now. Blast your laptop screen, Kaz!
-[Kazuki] You're free to buy me a newer one, bucko. Sarath just totally looks awesome, by the way! <3
-[Skyes] Niiiiiiiice. He seems like the guy I'd want to have a drink with.

Roxanne
-Can't really say much here. ^_^
-[Kazuki] Wow. She's an attractive one. Body proportions are oddly identical to Mom's. O_o
-[Skyes] That is one gorgeous character. Umm..... I don't think I have anything useful to say here. But...... wwowoooowowowowww...... <3
-[Kazuki] Hey! I'M the only girl you can stare at like that!
- ...Moving on......

Lefina
-Overall, a very intricate design. Me likey!
-[Skyes] I'm not finished all the way with the fic- Don't think this one rings a bell.... Sorry, I've been meaning to finish!! I swear!
-[Kazuki] ...Baka!

Latooni
-A design that sticks to the head. ^_^ Also, I'd like to note that I am jealous of your handwriting. IT IS LEGIBLE. HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!
-[Skyes] O_o
-[Kazuki] o_O

Tanya
-Now this one is certainly unique! Two thumbs! A third once I find where I hid it.
-[Skyes] I guess this is also a character I haven't seen...? But she strikes me as a tomboy-ish fighter type. Kinda Semyl-ish? Or am I far off?


We think you did a great job on these. We're all jealous of your ability to commit to a whole cast of characters, too... ^_^

Keep up the fantastic job!

[Kazuki] I'm still hyped up about YOU being the same MTP from MG!!!!! <3

[Links Tyrell]

Gads, you guys didn't know? O_O Yeah I'm that MTP...there is only one after all. XD

Anyway, thanks for the comments you three, it's nice to hear a variety of views and stuff. A few of your comments make me think you've got some sort of mind reading techniques over there...because they are correct and I've not said a thing about them. XD

Sykes, your comments about stats. I've already drawn up a comparison chart for every one of them. I posted them with the pics at DA but I didn't put them up here. For those interested I've not edited the previous posts and included the stat run downs for each character. ^^

Kaz, about Sabrina. She was originally more of less a carbon copy of Julie-Su (I think it was her) from the Archie series. Since then she's changed, that's what Jodie meant by a knock-off. XD

Kaz...you must have read your mind. Ralph is just as you say...although the exact type of transport will remain a secret. ^^

As for Sarath, well I hadn't started writing Mianol properly (only had half the first chapter written up) when I introduced Sarath again here at SA. Through playing as him and Tifa here I developed more ideas for Mianol and later created the world. So what happens here is technically not cannon, kinda an alternate reality if you will.

With regard to my handwriting, its not always that neat....I'd scan an example of my scrawl if I had one...my mum jokes that I should have been a doctor. XD


Now, onto other matters. I've not posted them up here before I think but I have done some full colour pics in the past that I'm reusing for Mianol. Here are the remaining characters in the line up with full colour pics.

And that brings the complete cast (for now) into the light.

[Links Tyrell]

And now a little preview of what's to come. First draft of the first chapter intro page, enjoy. Extra credit for the one who can guess who they are.

[Links Tyrell]

Well here's a little sneak peek at the picture I'm working on right now, the main cast for Chapter 1 of the Mianol Series. Other characters will make momentary appearances but in general these six will form the main cast. From left to right; Hyacinth, Lily, Ketone, Raine, Elathas and Regius.

Fully inked and coloured version will be up in a few days.

Time worked so far: Approximately 8 hours

[Links Tyrell]

Aaaaaand...!




As I said, here's the finished version of the first chapter cast for Mianol. Total working time stands at approximately 15 hours. ^^ Enjoy!

Random comic segment sketch I did today. Regius opening a can of whoop-ass.

[Kazuki Kajimoto]

OOOOOh, Links has a fan!

And is it just me, or does Celes have the same style as Links? A ghostwriter? Er, drawer?

Mysterious!!!!

^_^

[Links Tyrell]

Um no, Celes is my new character, I just forgot to change accounts after posting as her. XD

[Links Tyrell]

Long time no update...so sue me I've been busy. >_>

[Links Tyrell]

Alrighty! Time for some new stuff! First off a full picture of Lyn from my Mianol series!
