Description Phase 8: Macha The Temptress
"Macha seduces with the sweet trap."

Colored pencil on black paper

Just wanted to do some .hack fanart, and Macha seemed the best choice.
So here are the 3 Machas- Macha the Cat, Macha the Phase and Macha the Avatar.
Obviously I didn't include Mia the Blademaster and Mia the Cat even though they are technically also Macha... 5 Machas just seemed a little overwhelming @_@ I did have to do a little guess work on Macha the Phase since all the references I could find were kind of small and grainy and/or obscured.

Even though Macha the Phase is possibly the hardest phase to beat (and I hate how her lower body doesn't exist), I think she's still my favorite.


This picture was actually done a long time ago, in March. I've been unable to even look at it for a long time because it has a big tear in the corner It's my own fault really, but it's still really upsetting. I worked hard on it

But anyway, here's to Taylor, who rescued this picture from the wind. Without you there might not even be a picture to show.
And to Erin, who helped me patch it together with post-it notes and stickers and then drove me home. THANK YOU.
And to Russian Bus Driver... You have no idea what you're talking about. But thank you anyway. I know you mean well.

Awesomeness. I don't see too much fan-art of the phase in the original four games much.

Thank you!
Yeah well, I do feel like a lot of the designs for the original phases were a little half-assed. I mean really, Innis is a slab of pixels and Fidchell looks NOTHING like a mask Macha, Skeith and Corbenik were pretty good though

Well I think most of the "half assed" designs were probably because the graphics for the the game were a little low quality. If they went with the cel shaded style that they used in GU then all the flat textures would have looked better. But I still love the original models the most, especially Tarvos, who apparently doesn't mind stake going through his whole body

That's definitely true. I think it would be cool if they re-made the original games in the GU style, but I doubt they will
Hahaha Tarvos is definitely a creative one.

Awesome! I love every Macha incarnation, is great that you decided to draw the three of them together :3 (my favourite is also Phase!Macha from Quarantine, as well!).

Hehe thanks!
Yeah! she's definitely the hardest boss to beat though. Her charm spell is so obnoxious... >_< But I love how she sings whenever she casts a spell

Yeah, it was difficult for me as well D: (and sad, because Mia is my favorite character T_T). And I love that too... her song is creepy and makes me shiver but I find it beautiful at the same time
