Description 12/13/2011 -Earlier Version found here I am taking my sweet sweet time on this...I edited both Bahamut and Leviathan's face for the trillionth time but I am think I am getting closer to what I want. I am certain that the final will be black and white like the original. But I like the color scheme I devised here so I will share this picture with the applied colors. I hope I can do something with them in the end but I guess we will see.

---------------------
Another work in progress sort of thing or perhaps a preview or something... you guys getting sick of this yet...?

I originally wasn't going to post this yet since there is other things I should be doing and this isn't even close to finished and I'm letting the gun designs get the better of me haha... but *LynxKano just drew the coolest Hard Corps Uprising picture and I am in a major Hard Corps mood right now.

This is a complete redo of this piece . Usually I wait a bit longer before I attempt to redo an older picture but this piece has been speaking to me for months and I just couldn't ignore it any longer. I felt like there was something there but I never really let it reach its potential and there were just way to many technical errors in it that screamed at me everytime I looked at it. I did try to edit it some more after I initially posted it but I think a redo was really in order in the end. Especially since I feel like I now have a better understanding of Ishiwatari's designs and the ability to do them some small amount of justice.

Anyway, the top two are potential color schemes, I am still messing around with them since they aren't really my priority right now. Depending on how the black and whites come out I may also upload something closer to the original alongside this. Finally, the very bottom picture is a version of Leviathan alone which I included only because I really like the way the armor on his stomach came out (which eventually got covered up a bit by Bahamut) and I also like how his gauntlets came out.

Thank you so much, I am very glad you like it and it always makes me insanely happy to get a comment on a Hard Corps piece!! I look back at this piece quite a lot because I learned a lot new of techniques from it and I am still finding ways to improve upon it and apply even newer techniques. While the process is turning out to be awfully slow, this is one of the pieces that I am determined to perfect since it is one of my favorites. So your comment means a lot to me

I really love your art here! all those light effect, shadows, alternate colours.
Is the ...Leviathan, right? Is his eye position were also altered in the below piece? He really looks cool.
Wish I can play HCU someday...

Awww, thank you! Yea, the bottom piece is a little bit different. I usually end up redrawing certain things many times before I end up with something I like. In fact, his eyes in my current version that I am working on right now is different than the two shown here, haha.

If you ever do get a chance to play HCU you definitely should. It is pretty much Guilty Gear meets Contra with Ishiwatari working the art direction, character designs, story and the music. I just love it so much...
