Description

( ̄▽ ̄)/♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪  You know what song should sound


I present to you my last masterpiece - a double-sided cover for an artbook with more than twenty drawings created by different artists in support of our favorite character from the Star Fox universe. The initiative belongs to @VixenVotaries  from the community  #AssistAlliance, who will send this artbook (plus a transmittal letter from fans) to Nintendo as a sign of our love for the mysterious vixen from another world. I could not stay away and volunteered to create the best cover I could do. Krystal appeared in three games of the Star Fox series, but did not receive a single worthy role, so she should become the game character of at least one good game - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. And she has all the data for this: a stylish bright design, non-banal weapon and a lot of fighting techniques (Fox in the Star Fox Adventures game uses combat animations and abilities that belonged to Krystal, since she was originally planned as the main game character in Dinosaur Planet).

Before starting work, I set a time frame for myself: from August 1 to August 17, I have to work on the cover for several hours. Since this drawing should become a "face" of the artbook, it is obliged to reflect the main idea of ​​the project. I considered various difficult options, until I realized that the best thing should be simple and thought: "if Krystal has already become a fighter in SSBU, then how should this moment look like?" And here it is! After all, in fact, all Krystals that we will meet in matches are players with different costumes, skills and emotions that they experience during the game. So I decided to depict 11 Krystal with various colors and facial expressions (mostly happy, because why be sad at such a moment, right?  ), jumping out of a broken container and flying through a bright spatial tunnel into the arena!

I would like to express my special thanks to my brother Denis (RoLLsanReg) for his help in preparing the 3D model and rig for creating the pose. Krystal's costume design is inspired by her original "Adventures" and "Assault" images, combining native elements with high-tech. You could already see the staff model in my other fanart. By the way, each costume is based on the color palette of the location or character from Star Fox games: "Aquas ", "Cerinia ", "Eladard ", "Fichina ", "Fortuna ", "McCloud ", "Monroe ", "Sargasso ", "Sauria ","Solar ","Titania ". Can you recognize them all?

Even though it's not official....yet, I gotta say, it's nice to have Krystal back.

Wow, this is spectacular! This is breathtaking! Krystal's like a blast from our past! My favorite detail in your designs for Krystal here would have to be the scabbard for her staff. That and the little skirt she wore around her waist seems like a nice touch. Keeps that tribal origin of hers.

Let's see if I got this right. On the book cover, counter-clockwise:

Solar, Sauria?, Cerinea, Fortuna, Eladard?

Back cover, counter-clockwise:

Titania, Aquas, McCloud, Monroe, Sargasso, Fichina

"Krystal's like a blast from our past"? You can’t say better.  
About the scabbard: I had to tinker with this design, since the staff turned out to be larger in size than on previous concepts. I didn’t come up with anything smarter than a cylindrical leather “box” with magnets. Krystal needs to be hit with a staff on the scabbard so that they diverge to the sides and again connect with magnets around the handle. 

And you guessed almost all the color references. Cerinia is her main costume, a combination of blue (Assault) and gold (Adventure). Eladard - purple-pink suit (this is how the planet looks on the global map in the game). Sauria - yellow-beige costume (evokes associations with dinosaur skin). Fortune - green suit (a tropical planet with dense vegetation). This is how I planned, other people have different associations.

Btw, I just noticed that you're missing one more costume. One "Kursed" for one of the "What-If" endings where Krystal is corrupted and becomes a bounty hunter. Or do we never speak of that again?

ARTooNooREF In reply to Thang-Long-2022 [2019-09-14 11:09:34 +0000 UTC]

I did not find it so important. In fact, she would be the same Krystal, but in a dark suit (it is color, and he already has it on the art) and a purple hairstyle. Nothing special, I think.

You forgot to give her a Fara Phoenix and, since you gave her Fay, Fox, Katt and Lucy colour. ^^
Oh, and why did you gave her a light blue eye colour instead of her turquoise eye colour? Not that i don't like it. I just find it strange see her with light blue Iris. :'D

ARTooNooREF In reply to Megaloceros-Urhirsch [2019-08-24 14:47:36 +0000 UTC]

Fox and Fara are quite similar in color tone, so it is better to use the most famous McCloud color set.  
Regarding the color of the iris: while working on color, this option seemed to me softer for the overall composition. Eye color differs only in those "suits" where the color of the wool is changed (except for "Fichina"... damn it, it was necessary to color her eyes in turquoise, but I did not think about it  ).

And you're right about Fara and Foxs colour! D8

Oh, you mean, will I upload each Krystal separately? I did not plan this, all Krystal look good as a general composition. They were painted on the same canvas, so everyone has different sizes. But I will think about your idea, thanks.

SonicUnderground316 In reply to ethagold [2019-08-23 16:37:38 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I meant the next Smash Bros. but yes I would like to have a game that takes place after _Assault_ or _Command_ with Krystal. Starfox command gets a lot of crap but I personally really like it and I think that the some of the stories would be interesting to see as canon. They could play it safe and canon one of the good ending but It be nice to see some turmoil in the Team too even it t is to be resolved by the end of the game or in the next one. For instance, there was a story where Krystal went rogue and becomes known as Kursed. I think that some aspect of that ending could be interesting to see in a future game.
