Yay, fun art timez!
Shao Portrait
Man, I love his hair. Anyway, he's fully-covered like a good barbarian should be. However, to show some deference to the nice Imperials who let him in the Imperial Research Academy (to spy on them!), he wears the school uniform and covers up with bandage-y wraps. He should also have an emblem on his GK sash, but I have no idea what it should be. Presumably some kind of animal, but I don't know which animal Shao's tribe represents.
Shao Design
A clearer look at the outfit, though I don't like how the hair turned out as much.
Isolde's Magna Phalanx concept art
Because Nama's talked about it so much, it actually gave me a very clear image of what this should look like, so I sketched a quick doodle of it. Remember Nama, your ramblings are helpful~
Mirek Portrait
A proper portrait of everyone's favorite emo Guardian. This particular picture strikes me either as 'young, not-yet-disillusioned Mirek' or 'learned-to-trust-again' Mirek. At some point I need to draw him all dark and moody. You'll know he's 'broody Mirek' if he's wearing a big ol' tattered cloak. Symbolism or something, yo.
Main Trio Promo Art
Hey, I do actual pictures and not just sketches sometimes! I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out overall, but it's nothing spectacular. Still, I may color it and use it to make the wiki look pretty.
It's also our first look at Mirek's broody cloak! Story-wise, he wears it to hide his Guardian armor-pieces from being -too- obvious. Symbolically, he's hiding himself and trying to lose himself in an oversized garment. Pick whichever one offends your artfag senses the least.
Noemi's hair needs to pick a length.
And yes, they're all randomly floating. Blame magic or something. It's totally not because the artist misjudged their heights or anything like that where it's my fault.
