sketchbook: endgames - kotone

it’s an odd sketch, not really sure where it came from, but i did always wonder what it would be like if kimiko had any involvement in the Endgames world - and one thought was how Kotone (the character she portrays in another game) was fit into that world. While it may seem there is not much really here, sketches like these are often the launching point for ideas, things to look at while running through story scenarios, or feeling how a character might react. Random arts are idea generators, they give you a visual element to work into your thought process. A little rough, but not too bad of a sketch.

    Interseting skecth, Kotone looks a bit lost. But not nearly as lost as the girl with the bunny ears.

    Despite the fact that Kotone is the main focus of this peice, the bunny ears win. ^^

    Kotone in Endgames? My head asplode!

    I can hear the yuri fans on the forum leaping into “Kotone x Pirogoeth” action already. o_O

    yeah…. hot virtual world love. Its not really that amazing though… my son and his girlfriend have a couple of alts in WoW that are both female and can get pretty silly …. of course, her avatar and my avatar (also femme) go shopping a lot — stats vs. looks.. hmmmmm.

    I’m going to randomly speculate that bunny ear girl is a younger Yuki’s avatar just because of the facial expression.
    Her first MMO and she’s got the Helm of Rabbit Agility and Speed.

    argh,,,,, doublepost for lack of edit button.

    Kotone-Kimiko is really really cute and sexy the way you’ve drawn her. Her and Piro-goeth look good together with ol’ Largo lumbering around demolishing the perimeter.
    Guesses: okay… Largo, warrior , Piro-goeth, battle sorceress (or female warlock), Kotone, healer/shaman (all those little pockets and bags)
    Yuki-ears … rogue/thief :)

  5. Somewhere a fans head is explod- oh, that already happened.

    It’s an intruiging juxtaposition especially because while there’s a little Piro in Pirogoeth’s appearance (and a whole lot of Largo in er, Largo’s) there’s no Kimiko in Kotone (or at least none that I can see). There’s some sort of point in there but I don’t have time to dig it out.

    Little hair ribbons, multiple belts (and yes, rabbit ears too) for teh win.

    I think it fits :) Maybe you can work her in the endgames comics too?

    Awesome sketch Fred!
    Kotone is one sweet lady :) very soft and feminine. Love the belts that she is wearing. Lady Pirogoeth looks as intimidating as ever and Largo… his expression worries me. More Zombie hordes than he can manage? Lol.

  10. Brenden says:

    Aweswome! even for a sketch…

    but yeah, Kotone in Endgames? But thats cool, seeing all the sort of in-game personalities in one pick. even though Kimiko doesn’t actually play the game as Kotone, just voices her..

    good work, Fred!

    Verry nice, tell the truth I just “Discovered” MegaTokyo and it

  12. Lplus says:

    Nice sketch of Kotone, very feminine. She does look ‘at home’ in the game. Poor Rabbit Ears looks like she’s horrified - Yuki? I like the idea of them both in Endgames. So, after MT, Endgames 11 - The Reckoning?

  13. DustFox says:

    I’m I sensing a “resque the princess from the Cave of 3vil” quest brewing? This could become rather interesting in the future…

    What class would she be in the Endgames reality? Witch, perhaps? Seems that she has enough inventory space to store spell scrolls and potions. Or a Healer?

    High quality sketch, as always. Rough, but with feeling. (says a kid that can’t even draw propperly ^^) Like the evect created bu Kotone’s hair all flowing to the left, as if in a afternoon breeze.

    Who’s that on the right… Yuki? Love the bunny ears. =^.^= Reminds me of th Bunny comic

    Just read your rant on MT but decided to post here as half of my comment was more relevant to this site anyway. First off I was sorry to hear that you’re planning on wrapping up MT, even if it is years in the offing, and stupid me I didnt realize that there was any *reason* why you hadn’t finished Seraphim’s storyline, I’ve just been waiting to see when she’d pop back up, and I’m hoping you *do* figure out how to do so. regardless, I come to the original reason I posted here, I was looking for some diagrams for folding origami hearts for Valentines day and came accross a site with some extraordinary origami artwork and right at the top was a link to this site, and I was wondering if it belonged to your Sara, and if so how come you dont have a link to her site from here? Regardless it was a pleasant surprise in my day.

  15. NightStrife says:

    Hmm. My reaction was that the bunny-eared girl was Megumi, not Yuki. She doesn’t really look like Yuki, and it makes more sense for Megumi to be involved in the game if Kimiko was.

    To speculate futher, perhaps Kotone/Kimiko is a an Alchemist — a collector of herbs and a crafter of potions?

    Coe: There’s a link on the FredArt main page, under “blips”, to “sarahsorigami”, if that’s the site you are referring to.

    Speaking of old pictures. The digital painting of Piroko from a long time ago i Just noticed that her left gauntlet is the witch blade or something very much like it.

    excuse me not piroko: pirogoeth the megawinter nights render

    So…. Yesterday we establish that Miho is Coca-cola ™ …. the real thing.

    Well.. at least in Ed’s reality she’s the Boss of the level, I guess.

    Nice frame shot of her face with the death-glare.
    Ed must not be so terrified as to think bigger guns will solve it.

    the picture is great. it is amazing how u can think of all of this stuff. me and my brother think that u r the manga master. u truly inspire me to create on of my own. also my bro and i want to know when megatokyo volume 4 is coming out.

  20. Coe says:

    yeah I found it right after posting. *sigh* what can I say but it was cool finding Sarah’s site on her own merit :)

  21. Jade says:

    the drawing is great, its amazing how u r able to draw all of this stuff. the background and the characters. u have inspire me and my brother to draw and create a online manga of our own, but we never really started yet. my bro and i wondered when megatokyo volume 4 is coming out. my bro been asking me tat for a million time.

    I could really see Pirogoeth being all protective of Kotone… giving her powerful items and the like. Like an experienced player would when taking care of a newbie they’re fond of.

    As for the previous comment about yuri, I think the idea is rather cute.
