Description True Fact: Lily is a freaking PSYCHO in a fight when you piss her off, which is a very easy thing to do. She will cut you like she's doing to some poor shadow men.

I wont say much, but long story short. Something happens to Lily's mind that kinda leaves her severely withdrawn, not moving from an almost fetal like position. In short, her mind got screwed up something awful!
When some baddies eventually come around and the others beg for her help, she just yells, "I DON'T NEED ANYONE." and other whiny stuff yadda yadda.
Then one of them makes a remark that she's weak...which is the absolute WOST thing to call her.
So she snaps and goes on a berserk rampage, destroying any unfortunate shadow creature to get in her way.


Heavily inspired by this sceen from the Evangelion movie where Asuka is kicking some major ass and being all crazy!Be warned, there is A LOT of violence and blood and just plain nastiness in it, especially towards the end: [link]

I gotta give a hand to those animators at Gainax, they really make you feel the angery and struggle and downright hatred Asuka is feeling when you watch her fight. Connecting with an audience to make them feel what the character is feeling is one of the greatest feats an animator can accomplish in my opinion.

I'm not trying to convey the violence, so much as I wanted convey the same emotions of absolute rage, hatred, and even pain when you see Lily fighting into the reader so they get the most of the comic.


Lily and Guardians belongs to me, so no stealing or Lily will have no trouble slicing you up with her naginata.

Yeah, pretty much. But mostly about halfway or 3/4 through the story, and basically only when she's fighting and she really wants to win.

Really nice sketch! I'm interested to see how she's going to play out in the comic.

Kastia In reply to Tiuni [2009-12-23 04:56:29 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I think of all my characters she's the most fleshed out and human, not to say my other chars aren't, I just feel her issues and personality are the most solid and relatable.

But yeah, she's also pretty bas-ass, but at the same time A COMPLETE PSYCHO. Well, in some parts, just think of her as really driven.

Looks great, bundles of energy! It also reminds me of Ico slightly

Kastia In reply to Loading86 [2009-12-23 05:00:14 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I've heard of Ico, but I've never played it. It does look pretty cool, though, I'll have to look into it.

But thank you! Lily is quite the energetic and slightly disturbed teen!
