Description I can't fully explain what happened here. A-Ko and C-Ko were originally going to be posing in swimsuits or something, and somewhere along the way, it turned into much more of a fantasy pic. It came about after I saw a photo of Pink (the pop star) in an impractical, skimpy armor outfit.

This was one of the first things that I did where I really started to take advantage of what I'd learned in Photoshop, and I'm very happy with the end result.

This also appears at A-Ko fansite Graviton City [link] although it's been slightly modified since then. I shortened C-Ko's forearm a tad, just because I felt it looked too long for her.

You know, I could actually see this happening with A-Ko. Especially after one too many battles with B-Ko!

Fuckin' A, yo. Or should I say, fuckin' A-ko?

A-ko is awesome, C-ko is even better, and this pic really captures them both.

Pretty cool pic. Seen it before on animenation.com. Also i hate GC.com with a passion.

But Still, i've never seen a-ko art besides my own on this site so this one joins the favourites.

I didn't even realize this pic was anywhere else besides GC. This is the better version, though.

Yeah, I've read your views on GC. Apparently, I haven't had the same negative experience there as you, so I can't say I share your animosity, but I hope you don't hold that against me.

My views in the journal catch me at my most furious (or most humourous). I don't hate every single one of them, but a majority of people there have got on my nerves one way or another.

Still i don't know you so i don't have anything against ya.

Actually, possibly you remember me under my user name, Trevor Piscek, but I can't recall any time I would've gotten on your nerves, and I think we got along fine prior to your departure.

Thanks, I like to think so. As I continue to improve, I'm a little embarassed that my opinion of my artistic skills was as high as it was back then.

once again, a good job on the background. But the whole "Pink" thing really does kinda show through.... You watch music Vids? you mentioned leela was based on kylie..... -_- ah, who knows?

rocketdave In reply to astroXLR [2004-08-27 17:53:45 +0000 UTC]

I often reference photos for my work, and it's just coincidental that my last two submissions have a pop star influence. If you must know, I don't watch very many music videos nowadays. The Leela pose was pretty much directly copied from a photo of Kylie, but with this thing, I'm just citing a photo of Pink as a partial inluence. That photo and this drawing look almost nothing alike.

Oh, no offense taken. Sorry, I didn't mean for my response to sound so snippy.
