Description Epiphany
A Poet. A Mother. A Romantic fool.
Epiphany is the mother of epitaph. And she is famous for her romantic poetries. She was first established her career as a geisha, and managed a group of beautiful women serving the finest food and wine for those seeking company of heavenly female presences. Though, it changed everything when she fell in love with an anonymous ninja who had great smile, and became a mother of a child.
Epiphany becomes only intangible memories among ninja of old school, who ever touched and moved by her charisma. She became a legend among the Romanists.


Story of "KEEN," A Ninja Talkshow concept.
Concept and Lineart By HOON
color palette and Painted by JUJI

NINJA TALKSHOW (part of Project KEEN) (C)MESS STUDIO
-----------------------

this particular character design concept was the first of its collection. which now have grown into more than what you can count with two hands.
Me and talented Juji have evolved its style so drastically on each piece, one of the most recent pieces are quite advanced now, and constituted our own formula.
We are also in early process of develping sequentials using these characters, we are hopful that we can bring the comic book by early next year, in association with Dark horse comics. (im a firm believer that DH is the best comic publisher in the US)
here this is one of a few sneak peek i can offer you, and Im Happy to show you little bit of what we are working on right now. i hope you like it. please look out for whats to come in the future!

This is very sweet, in a don't-mess-with-momma-or-she'll-bash-your-head-in-with-a-big-hammer sort of way.

zyphres [2005-02-05 01:35:15 +0000 UTC]

I really just want to say *wow* and I really do!
What the comments seem to be missing tho is the awesome background and details, the dragon is so sweet, I would get down on my knees if you would remake that dragon to something I can make as a tatoo. seriously.
Since you seem to be at least a semi-professional artist, I assume you welcome some thought that difference from "wow"
The things I can't keep my eyes from is her feet.. are they really meant to be that big?
Another thing is her sleeves.. her left sleeve has a red "stroke-ish" (sry, don't know the english word) thingie, I'm sure you get my point.. the left arm-sleeve is questionable, but could be thoughtfully arranged aswell.. I'm thinking about how the "stroke" isn't following the hammer/club's shaft.. what brought my attention tho is the fact that her right sleeve totally lack the "stroke" ?

I really don't want to seem opposive or whatever, I really do think this is one of the most beautiful pictures I've seen! I love the mixture of the big strong wooden hammer and the fragile baby and her eyes, that confident look.. would you honor me by giving this a reply I would be forever grateful.

nice pic!
cheers
