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 my goal...to become this good...to be so good as to form dimetionality and texture in my drawings and to create life inside them. Emotion pours out fo this and you get such a wonderful sense of the story. Excellent work, I'm so happy I can see this. A fav for sure...

I'm honestly amazed. Color is fantastic. In actuality, I was thinking of doing a background with a tiger pattern before this, but well...not as good as that. The idea in my head was much more simple, but I love the tiger/dragon combination. I didn't notice it at first, but I was very pleasantly surprised. It just meshes so well with all the beautiful details.

Very nice overall.
