Description This is a watercolor painting of KOS-MOS from a picture some of you may recognize. This was meant to be a simple practice but I got so caught up in it. I used various media for this painting: watercolor, acrylic for highlights on the eyes and the blue gemy thing on her arm, and some calligraphy pen my dad got from Korea to ink the picture.

As you may know, this is KOS-MOS from Xenosaga III made by NAMCO. If you haven't played this game you should definately play it. It's worth every penny. You know I just thought of doing another piece similar to this one but with T-elos. That sounds nice.

*If you don't mind, please tell me how much you may think this is worth. One of my friends wants to buy this from me and I'm unsure what to charge her. I'm going for at least $20. This will be my first piece to sell!*

Thank you very much for stopping by and looking at my work. Much love to you!

If I was to below out a spoiler than I'd have replies from other people saying "No you ruined it for me" or something like that o__o''

Yeah, she kick T-elos' butt and then fused-ish with her.

The ending was sort of confusing D: Then again...so was all three games, which is probably why I like it, because it creates the challenge of "what happens next?" :3

Welcome

Oh, you never fully beat the game? XD Well, you'll find out :3 I already know the ending though.

It sucks that Shion's story has ended, wonder what the next Xenosaga character's story will hold? *thinks*

OMG Xai! I missed you! *hugs* ^___^

Your artwork just keeps getting better and better~! You're just as great with traditional materials as you are with digital ones. :3 I especially love the inking and highlights you used!

As for the price... I personally think somewhere between $25 and $30 would be good. X3

Personally, I don't think you should sell it at all. But, if you really want to, I think you should ask at least $45-$50.

Tuely amazing waterpainting! The colors are well applied and true to the character. I also like how you've interpreted her in your own style as well

I'm curious though... you've applied the colors THEN inked, or was it the other way around? I never know when it comes to watercolors >.
As for the price.. Well it depends how big the picture is, and how much time you spent on it.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Xaiphyr In reply to VortexQueen [2006-10-18 23:18:02 +0000 UTC]

Oh, yes, I watercolored it first then inked it after the paint was dry. lol watercolors are funny. Well, the picture itself isn't too big, about 12"x7", and I spent alot of hours on it, it took me a week to finish. I dunno exactly how many hours...lol! Thanks, again!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

VortexQueen In reply to Xaiphyr [2006-10-19 16:24:36 +0000 UTC]

Hm well the fact that you put a lot of hours in this piece should bring the price up. 20$, if you ask me, if far too cheap for such a piece. At say, start it up at minimum 60 or even 70 dollars, considering a week was spent into this, and it's still a very cheap price.

Xaiphyr In reply to VortexQueen [2006-10-19 21:36:40 +0000 UTC]

Wow, that's so expensive. lol I'll let my friend buy it for $25, we've been friends for years, so I'll give her a discount! ;3 Next one that's not for a friend will be more. Thanks for your advice, it helped!
