Friends Series- The Admired
27
May
2016
I recently have been inspired by the many series of collectible art cards found on NeonMob.com. Collecting art on this website has become a bit of an obsession of mine, truth be told, and I have started getting really excited to make my own collectible art series.
The theme I have hit upon is different kinds of friends, such as the Loyal, the Adventurer, the Cat, the Mentor, etc. I have 40 planned out, in total, and am done with the general lineart for 30 of them.
This one here is the first one that I have tried to color. This friend is called “the Admired.”

Spirit Bond- Kaipo Redesign

And here’s our darling Kaipo! Isn’t he cute? And kind of… epic? At least in this pose.
I tried really hard to make both Kaipo and Mango more epic when I redesigned them. At least in their true forms. They aren’t always all glowy and mystical, as you can see in the lineup. Alas, I still haven’t figured out their exact rules yet. I should probably get on that.
Anyway, I present to you Spirit Bond’s most adorable hero: Kaipo!
Spirit Bond- Mango Redesign

When redesigning my spirits, things got a bit more complicated. You see, there’s only so much you can do visually with a human character, but with a spirit, the possibilities are endless!
My illustration teacher suggested I combine Mango with something a little more beastly and magical. That’s what tried to do, butI don’t think I took itfar enough yet. What do you guys think? How could I make Mango’s design more…. awesome?
Spirit Bond- Kay Redesign

Towards the end of the semester, I colored this picture of Kay, one of the main spirit summoners. I changed up his nose a bit. He looks like even more of a punk now. Soooo…. I’ve done well.
Araya- Design Change 1

This is Araya after I gave her a haircut.
In class I got some comments (I don’t even know if they were complaints or compliments ^^;) that her fire spirit looks a lot like Calcifer from Howl’s Moving Castle. I’m working on changing that.
Though this is still not Araya’s current character design, I had a blast working on this character vignette, and I loved working with the texture in the background. Texture is awesome.
