COMMENT
Hi! This is an illustration made for the cover of my new one shot title, F.O.X. : Fate Orb Xylia. This will be released on the upcoming KOMIKON '09 this October 18. I've tried different styles in this one shot and I'm really satisfied with my ongoing progress so far. For interested local parties, you can buy Fate Orb Xylia and other Revel indie titles in KOMIKON!
Shameless plugging. LOL!
ABOUT FATE ORB XYLIA
F.O.X. is the acronym for Fate Orb Xylia. It basically means "Fate Orb of the Woods". This is my contemporary interpretation of the Japanese legend, Kitsune and Hoshi no Tama
A Kitsune closely guard a round ball called, Hoshi no Tama (Starball). Those who obtain it can force the kitsune to help them; one theory says that the kitsune 'reserves' some of its magic in this ball when it shape shifts. Kitsune must keep their promises or suffer a deterioration in their rank and power. '
In my one shot komik, I did my own interpretation of the legend while putting them in a contemporary world. This was originally a thesis project of a classmate but it was 'shelved' for another topic. Since I originally had the ideas for the shelved project, I got the rights and asked my few Revel members (who contributed as well) to create my own version of the story. I grew up with the Kitsune legend, that's why I'm so persuasive about writing my own point of view about it. They are simply, enchanting. Hmm, I think the right word is--- foxy.
The flash file debut and debut illustration for this title in Revel artbook can be seen in + FATE ORB XYLIA: RAINSHOWERS +

I really like the delivery of this.
It has great atmosphere, the sound adds a lot to it. I like that you included SFX with the interactivity, instead of just one or the other.
And a great piece of art to boot.

The orb thingy is the girl's necklace originally owned as a jewel of the foxes. It is called, Fate Orb Xylia.
Fate Orb Xylia is the other name for Hoshi no Tama

inuyasha909 In reply to Raykosen [2009-09-20 02:24:52 +0000 UTC]
then why was the black fox an outcastor whatever?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Raykosen In reply to inuyasha909 [2009-09-20 04:03:59 +0000 UTC]
Because her ancestors were the traitors of the fox clan.
Something like, her parents were criminals. But that's just an example since I'm not allowed to spoil the story before releasing this on the debut date.

I love it Ray!
I love the white fox's costume the most. It looks so intricate.
I've heard the kitsune myth too, so I was really excited to see this.

Raykosen In reply to SaidieHawkins [2009-09-20 01:35:55 +0000 UTC]
Thank you Amy! The white costume was inspired from the early drafts of ~AngelsTale and ~mirayutsuma017 way back 2007. Though, I got help from my sister for the overall and final costume design of each characters.

Anytime dear. lol.
And doesn't your sister help design a lot of your costumes?
I would love to see someone cosplay or just wear something like that.
It would be interesting to see in real life how it would look.

Yep yep! My sister is planning to turn this costume into flesh. I'm not sure when since she's quite busy.

Thank you!
It's a traditional Copic illustration but I imported the artwork in flash. I did a little coding to make things dynamic and interesting.
Glad you like it!
