Kage's Art Thread!

Yeah, same with my phone camera, but I take what I can get.

Fine I won't. I'll try to draw more soon.

Okay, I'll do that when I can, although I'm a bit busy.

THE WAIT IS OVER!
First of all: Snowdrop!


All I have to say for this one is that if I ever have to draw blue jay wings again I'm going to have a mental breakdown because DETAIIIIIILS.

Next up we have Aries Mu in his casual clothes from Soul of Gold!


Mu is by far one of my absolute favorite gold saints. He's one of the first introduced in the original Saint Seiya, although his gold saint status is unknown for some time. Mu's job is to repair the broken cloths of saints (because believe me, although it's divine armor and crap, it breaks ALL THE TIME), so he really does the most work out of all of them in my eyes, having to teleport back and forth between his home/workshop in Jamir, and the Aries Temple in Greece. In addition, he has the first temple of the Zodiac in Sanctuary, so he is almost constantly bombarded by those trying to fight their way through the twelve temples. He has my sympathy... -_-

Casual Scorpio Milo from SoG!


Milo is another one of my personal favorites. His temple is the eighth of the zodiac. Milo is (was?) a close friend of another gold saint, Aquarius Camus. While Camus is probably the coldest and least emotional character I know, Milo is kind of a hothead and very temperamental. Whether or not Milo is good or evil in the original Saint Seiya is definitely up for debate- on one hand, he doesn't know about Saga's crimes and what really happened to Aiolos, so he can't be put in the same box as the likes of Deathmask and Aphrodite. However, on the other hand, he seems to enjoy watching his enemies suffer in the original series. His primary technique, Scarlet Needle, utilizes the long red nail on his hand as a weapon, stabbing it into the opponent's body fifteen times. The final strike, Antares, kills the opponent. Soul of Gold never let us see this attack, as Milo was one of the first saints to be lost. He probably had the shortest amount of fight time out of all of them. Oh well, at least he's awesome in the Hades arc.

Casual Aquarius Camus!


I'm going to be perfectly honest- unlike most of the Saint Seiya fandom, I don't like Camus very much. He's cold and emotionless and pretty much broke my heart in Soul of Gold by defecting to the God Warriors. The reason he chose to abandon the other saints is that his supposed best friend from childhood, Eikpyrnir Surt, had become a God Warrior. Furthermore, during his youth Camus had been recklessly using his ice abilities and caused an avalanche which killed Surt's little sister. This caused Surt to abandon his training as a saint and change greatly as a person. While I guess I can understand Camus' feelings, I don't really think that turning to the God Warriors helped Surt at all. There were other alternatives, but Camus (being a typical gold saint, haha) didn't look into or consider them. That being said, his attacks are pretty cool (no pun intended) and his ice abilities are amazing. Not to mention he trained one of my favorite Bronze Saints, Cygnus Hyoga. Camus guards the eleventh temple of the Zodiac.

Casual Capricorn Shura!


Shura's one of the most awesome Gold Saints ever despite all the hate he gets, and my drawing does not do him justice. That darn Excalibur hand pose is a beast because I cannot hands. In the original Saint Seiya anime (the manga tells a rather different story), Gemini Saga (one of the Gold Saints) killed the leader of Sanctuary, Pope Shion, and assumed his identity. Only one stood in his way to protect the reincarnated baby Athena and bring hope for the future- Sagittarius Aiolos. Saga, not wanting his power to be challenged, made all of Sanctuary believe that Aiolos was a traitor and sent Capricorn Shura after him as an assassin. Shura, believing that it was the trusted Shion giving this order, complied and killed Aiolos. Shura's main technique, Excalibur, is one of my favorite attacks in Saint Seiya. Essentially, his hand is given the sharpness of a sword which can cut most anything. On a less serious note, Excalibur is a fun technique to think about mundane uses for. It doesn't matter how many millions of them I see- drawings of Shura chopping vegetables with his hand never fail to make me laugh. He guards the tenth temple of the Zodiac.


Casual Sagittarius Aiolos!


I'm a Sagittarius, and I'm very happy to get such a cool saint representing my sign. I mean, the guy's cloth comes with WINGS AND A FREAKING GOLDEN BOW AND ARROWS! Although Aiolos gets offed pretty quick in the original, his spirit manages to aid the main characters on many occasions, and there's still hope for him to show up in Soul of Gold. Aiolos' younger brother is Leo Aiolia, the gold saint of the lion, and the main character of Soul of Gold. Aiolia looks up to his older brother, who before Saga framed him as a traitor was considered a model Gold Saint. Sagittariuses ALWAYS DIE in Saint Seiya, though. It's a curse. First Aiolos, then Sisyphus, Seiya only survives Omega because his name is in the title, and Next Dimension doesn't even HAVE a Sagittarius. At least they're cool while they're still alive, with the exception of Seiya. Aiolos' primary technique is Golden Arrow, where he fires an arrow of light at his opponent. In addition, the Sagittarius saint plays an integral part in the ultimate final technique of the Gold Saints- Zodiac Excalamation. In this technique, all the gold saints concentrate every bit of their power into the tip of the Sagittarius' arrow, creating a powerful weapon that can destroy pretty much anything. Sadly, this technique has the ultimate cost- in the use of it, every gold saint perishes, having used all their energy.

Casual Pisces Aphrodite!


Yes, this is a male character and yes, he is wearing lipstick. Nobody knows why. Aphrodite guards the twelfth and last temple of the Zodiac. He was one of the two saints (Deathmask is the other) who knew Saga was impersonating the pope, but followed him anyway. He also gets pretty much the least character development out of anybody in the original. In said original, he's frankly laughable. However, he gets rescued from the scrappy heap in Soul of Gold when he shows incredible courage and selflessness while rescuing a girl who his friend Deathmask had fallen in love with. It's a pity he was the first to die... In the original, Aphrodite is very ruthless, not giving an inch with his opponents. However, given that he may be one of the weakest gold saints and is defeated quicker than most, this isn't saying much. In addition, the guy is a total narcissist. Aphrodite's primary technique is throwing poisonous demon roses from the red garden which each Pisces Saint tends. It is also possible (but not confirmed) that like the Pisces saint of the eighteenth century, Albafica, his blood is just as poisonous as the roses which he tends. This would conceivably allow him to use the technique "Crimson Thorn", where the Pisces saint uses their blood as a weapon. This technique is very dangerous to the user, as it nearly kills them However, it is unknown if Aphrodite just doesn't have the ability to use this technique, doesn't want to risk his life using it, or simply does not know it exists.

Enjoy~

You better be bringing those to school so I can steal them in the beginning on the year >.<

Thank you Asphoxia.
Sorry, Sky you're not getting these. These are MY gold saints.
And Dimitri yes. I need to practice hands and feet. Hard.

You can have her. But I need the gold saints as drawing refs.
And now, the weirdest art update ever.

So... I was bored... and this happened.


He's Incognitoast. 'Nuff said.

What happens when somebody gives me a ballpoint pen:


I needed practice with half-shaved heads and dreadlocks, so I drew that girl. Not an OC, but who knows?

And my first Hipster Surt.

Philip.
I think I know what it is, and Kage likey that idea. I'm gonna give her a kewl name.
I need to get my "U MAD, MILO?" drawing back from Beta so I can post it.

Yep.
What indeed?
Yeah, it is. Very funny, too.
And one more piece for today:

I drew this for somebody I know, but thought I'd post it because it turned out nicely.

draw luke kage that looks like you

You should listen to Synchronicity. It's a great song series.
