Heheh, I'm not stalking you R3d, I swear. D:

That's right R3d, you have all our support here. I look forward to the day you can just chill out and draw a little more. Maybe not working on the movie, but just drawing. It's obvious how passionate you are about art.

Keep your chin up. :3 <3

I was hesitating about asking you if you were still on this project or not. Now you've posted this good poster, I feel like telling you this :

I really like your project. I know this is (or was?) supposed to be just pictures with texts or dialogues, but I haven't cared about visual quality on this. I've cared more about what story you've come up to make a decent storyline for the Lylat Wars, how to connect events and depict characters... That is the real stuff for me. I have my own views on this period, but from what I've seen from your dA, I like where you've been going.

Now, good job on this poster. I could say you could make Fox's nose/jaw thinner and rounder, his ears bigger and give Wolf a less big-pet-dog feeling with a more "radical" look, but that's just me being obsessive with those details. Your drawing is really fine and you have your own style. Keep up the good work!

Oh, and did you give James some kind of WWII-era pilot feeling, with the glasses and the hairstyle? If yes, I dig it.

Wow, I only just saw this thread after the update that Red did. I will have to go through all of the pages again sometime in the future when I have more time, but I love the artwork for the characters. Looking forward to seeing this thread update more!

There's so much atmosphere in this poster, watching you draw it was almost like watching part of the story unfold. It turned out amazing, and considering you used your mouse... holy hell. You should be proud of yourself. XD

Thank you so much, it's a wonderful feeling knowing people enjoy my work :-)

This is actually very accurate to the way I designed Fox and try to draw him otherwise. So I take it you are talking about the design itself? Oh well, that's just the style I use XD I guess it's all personal taste

Yes, I enjoy that feeling too when it comes. And if that's the way you draw Fox, keep it. It works well on its own. :-)

Actually, I think I shouldn't have uploaded this poster without describing what it's about. Wolf does have the capability of having this "radical look" you are talking about in my style! I chose this expression for both him and Fox to show that they both, while ready to battle, have personal feelings plagueing that which in this case is that the two mourn the death of James McCloud, equally!

I figured this teaser poster must've been quite an interesting surprise to people, seeing how these three characters are connected somehow.

Now that I've read your answer, I've realized I kinda wrote it wrong using the word "radical". I was talking about making Wolf a bit more different from Fox, differencing the "canis" from the "vulpes"... just a thought. And... the concept behind the poster is really interesting. I like how much characterization you put in these guys, since the Fox-Wolf rivalry was a bit of a problem to work out for me. Love it, really.

Haha, yeah kind of. I've chosen his hairstyle like this quite a while ago and I wanted to give him a more oldschool kind of look. So yeah totally, if you see the WWII touch you aren't completely wrong about that :-)

haha I had this idea when designing James for my interpretation of Fox's old man.

Thank you again for the time you took to share your thoughts and feelings with me, I truly appreciate it!

No problem! ;)

With a mouse? All or the colours? In any way, like Redeemer said, you can be proud of yourself.

I am also curious to hear about your issue with the rivalry if you are willing to share! I know I encountered a few big problems here and there and it was kind of hard to incorporate ALL of the bad guys because there are actually so many.

Well, I was trying to see what could make the two fight each other, more than just being hired by one side to fight the other. I looked on the whole James McCloud thing, but couldn't find something that pleased me at this point : namely, they said Wolf would have taken down James and he would hunt for the son, but with the ages given in the official data, it was hard to believe. And the rivalry/respect between those two was kinda ruined for me after Assault. No more Goku/Vegeta wanabee relationship here!

For me, Wolf is after Fox only because Fox is called the best pilot in Lylat by others and Wolf would gain incredible fame by taking him down. Fox's hatred of Starwolf is only focused on Pigma, the one who betrayed his father, and he wants to shoot the slime down, but Wolf tries to make Fox focus on him by taunting him with the details Pigma told him about James' death. It seems to work for me, but then Wolf becomes just an obsessed guy with no real grudge against Fox. So yeah, I'm a bit out of ideas on this point.

R3dFiVe's been meaning to post this, but he's so lazy tired right now, so I'll do it for him. This is a collab we did for a friend's birthday. As usual, he sketched, I coloured. Except those badass stars and explosion. He did those too. XD
