Description Oh! So those Code Geass mechs are called "Knightmare Frames" not "Nightmare Frame" which I have using 'til now. LOL! I'm such a dumbass.

Owwwwkaaay... Kallen Kozuki! She isn't included in my top three Code Geass favorite characters, but I do believe making a fan art of her is justifiable. No! I HAD to draw her too! She's awesome. And hot (thinks of that bunny suit she wore during the second season. ). Yeah, but being hot's not just the only likable trait she has. I mean she's honorable and loyal... Funny at times... Yeap. Kallen is cool. And she's become sort of like a poster girl for Code Geass (aside from C.C off course) - a pretty face with badass fighting skills, the image of a strong willed and powerful female protagonist.

So I made sure to make her look fierce in this drawing. Like she's going to kick some ass like a boss! But man, I didn't realize I'd put in a little more effort into drawing her than I planned to (who's not really a super big fave character of mine). The background was a little tricky to make, considering I don't usually make backgrounds for my drawings. And that winged Guren also made the whole thing longer than usual to finish. Good thing somehow the paper was able to withstand all the poster color I put on it. I mean this is one of the few full page colored drawings I made in my sketchbook, so guess that's why this become somewhat of a challenge. The lighting motive was inspired from this Magic the Gathering card: [link] I don't know why this card popped into my mind when I drew this fanart. Guess the Guren reminded me of this minotaur. Kallen's costume here is inspired by one of the artworks CLAMP made, particularly this: [link]

Yeah, I'm done here.

How do you do this!!! I'm terrible with paints, but somehow you make watercolor have sharp edges everywhere!!! Do you use water color pencils, or actual watercolors, or maybe a mixture of both? Please tell TTnTT

Nick-Ian In reply to AngelicDemon82 [2012-09-01 04:33:17 +0000 UTC]

I used poster colors. Like these ones: [link]

I apply the colors heavily onto the pencil sketch. It's tricky to do 'cause you have to take care not to make the paint brush too wet as it will destroy the paper.

Shiroyama03 [2012-08-25 06:48:25 +0000 UTC]

I definitely agree with you.
Kallen is totally one of my fave chars in Code Geass.
And her Guren is totally awesome.
I think you should take my "Code Geass vs Letter Bee" thing.
Since my fave crossover pairing in both Code Geass and Letter Bee are KallenxConnor.

Nick-Ian In reply to Shiroyama03 [2012-08-25 07:08:08 +0000 UTC]

Who was Connor again from Letter Bee? Was he the guy the Bee's are working for? The one with the blonde assistant?

And yeah, Guren SEITEN was a god in the final episodes. It looked beautiful with that wings spread out. And it whooshed around the battlefield like a mother f*ckah!

Shiroyama03 In reply to Nick-Ian [2012-08-25 07:17:12 +0000 UTC]

Connor Kluff, the chubby guy of the group?
Uh, that's Largo Lloyd, and the blonde assistant is Aria Link.

Definitely Guren Seiten and Lancelot Albion are totally like gods in the final episode. Though Lancelot Albion was destroyed by Guren Seiten and all.

That'll be an adorable couple.

But he already has that little girl who bakes him cookies...
