Saint Seiya Omega: The 12 Hours Journey to Mars (Fanart)

Time for more fanart... and probably the last one. This is actually the initial fanart before I ended up making the previous ones I posted earlier. Yup, I've been preparing this one since last year, so this is in fact supposed to be version 01.

Wanna know the process of making this one? The main key to all the process was basically one thing: WAITING. Yes, since this is a somewhat summary of the Sanctuary Arc, I kinda waited patiently until I got my hand on one episode at a time to add the screencap one by one from episode 29 to 45 (actually, I should've waited until episode 47... but I ran out of patience haha). For the record, episode 29 aired in October 2012, which means I've been preparing this one for 5 months XD. Wow, that's NOT a short time... ahahaha ^^;

This infographic-esque fanart, showed the journey of Kouga and friends through the 12 Temples of the new Sanctuary. Eventhough there were temples with more than one Bronze participating, I only put the images of the characters who were in the spotlight. For example: in Taurus, Harbinger actually fight all of them, but in the end he transported everyone beside Kouga to the other Temples, leaving him and Kouga battling alone. That's the reason why I only put the 'Harbinger vs Kouga' image. The same thing was applied to the other Temples as well..

Once again, I'd like to remind you all, that I don't own ANY of those images. All characters are design copyright of Yoshihiko Umakoshi, and whoever the animation director in charge for each episode. Saint Seiya Omega itself is a copyright property of TOEI Animation Japan, and Masami Kurumada. This is merely a work of fanart, and not intended for profit purpose (at all), so feel free to use it for your own likings. Hope you enjoy it. 

Thanks for reading... and don't worry, there ain't any version 05 this time! XD

PS: Was going to publish yesterday night, but my internet has been an as****e lately (getting worse and worse), that it didn't even properly save my drafts and totally swallowed my typings *sigh*

*EDIT Feb 28th, 2013*
I ended up revising some parts and thus resulted in version 2. This is an update version with the latest episode (#46) aired last week, that it would be unfair to not include one of the character in the final image (Orion Eden, since he actually played a very important role in the final battle against his Father). I'm going to be using this version for the Tumblr post (scheduled for March 25th) instead. Here you go:

Saint Seiya Omega: The New Sanctuary Pt. 2 (Fanart)

I kinda spent my weekend doing another one of the Saint Seiya Omega fanart... and it's not too great or exhausting like the previous one, but I like this one as well. I'm using the official settei (official images) available in TOEI website, along with screencaps from various episodes.

Here you go... available in 3 versions (you might need to click on the link to see the original size):

I - The Settei-Only,

II - The Settei-Screencap-Combo and,

III -  The Settei-Screencap-Combo-with-Mars hahaha

I personally like the last one, but I decided to post the 2nd one on my Tumblr, due to the Time Ring on top. Look forward to see it on March 24th (why so long? Yes, it's part of my SSO Tribute... and that's the schedule for this one hahaha).

As always, I'd like to remind you all, that I don't own ANY of those images. All characters are design copyright ofYoshihiko Umakoshi, and whoever the animation director in charge for each episode. Saint Seiya Omega itself is a copyright property of TOEI Animation Japan, and Masami Kurumada. This is merely a work of fanart, and not intended for profit purpose (at all), so feel free to use it for your own likings. Oh, once again, if TOEI doesn't like me making this, feel free to contact me and I'll delete it from my blog.

Thanks for reading... see you soon with version 04!!! (What? Seriously?! Yeahhh.... ^o^)

PS: The original file is actually 30% bigger than what I publish, if you're interested, just send me an email and I'll send you privately

Saint Seiya Omega: The New Sanctuary (Fanart)

It's been a while... or probably too long since I used my Photoshop, so here I am, trying to (at least) practice my Photoshop skill again. A bit slow, due to the PC thingy, but I eventually finished it. SO GLAD I didn't totally forget how to use the software, it'd such a waste if it vanished to thin air (just like my Adobe Premiere skills, that faded away since I couldn't use my PC to render the movie T_T). By the way, this time, it's NOT coming from my own story, but a FAN-ART. Yup...

I've been watching Saint Seiya Omega, a nice series that brings back nostalgia of my school-days. Since I haven't yet found a decent image consisting all 12 New Gold Saints anywhere, I decided... heck, I'll make it for my own. That way, I can have it JUST LIKE THE WAY I WANT IT. So... I started choosing images of the new Saints from the screencaps of the show, and eventually put them all in one canvas. The process took 2 days (since yesterday noon)... and that goes for cropping the background from each characters, and finally arranging them all together and adding easy effect layers. Yes, that was the final process only, not including those long hours spent for re-watching, screencaping the episodes, and choosing images decent enough to showcase). I'm going to publish this on my Tumblr sometime around the 2nd or 3rd week of March, in my planned "Saint Seiya Omega Tribute Month". Then again, I'm sure you'll be reading this after that Tumblr post goes up anyway hahaha...

So, there you go... hope everyone like it (I know I do, and already have it as my PC wallpaper XD). Those images are REAL images, as shown in the episodes (30-43), I only did some minor touch to a few of them. I didn't sketch any of them...! (I'm NOT that good hahaha). With that said, I'd like to remind you all, that I don't own ANY of those images. All characters are design copyright of Yoshihiko Umakoshi, and whoever the animation director in charge for each episode. Saint Seiya Omega itself is a copyright property of TOEI Animation Japan, and Masami Kurumada. This is merely a work of fanart, and not intended for profit purpose (at all), so feel free to use it for your own likings. Oh, and if TOEI doesn't like me making this, feel free to contact me and I'll delete it from my blog (just like what you did to my Ojamajo Doremi fandub T_T).

Thanks for reading... see you soon with the next SS Omega fanart! (What? There's more...? Yeahhh.... XD)
