Day 11- Hot Cocoa Palette

Fake skill records because while I haven't spent a dime on the game, I still find the concept of anime .png gambling fascinating.

I need to give them real names before going further into production, but I got too attached to their preproduction nicknames. I can't design merch or move forward on the theme song without at least the Main(Jungle Cat) and Villain(human huntress/explorer)

SAO but Zoids, more of a new century setup, Nascar meets gladiator system.

Information on specific character/Zoid combos after the read more.

Asuna is a high ranking pilot from the dominating team in the major league of zoid battles, KOB, but worries that her parents money and resources could be influencing her wins and starts moonlighting in the minor league to prove her skills. Her partner is a Lanstag that has been passed down in the Yuuki family for generations.

Kirito left his adoptive home and set out in the Blade Liger he was found in as a toddler, joining MBC, a minor league zoid team run by a group of lifelong friends and zoid enthusiasts. His skills as a pilot lead to a rapid rise in the ranks and he became very close with his doubles partner, Sachi, but an accident during a match resulted in Sachi being hospitalized. Kirito was unable to forgive himself and left without even learning if she survived.

Kayaba is the team captain of KOB, as well as the head of their R&D department. The Yuuki Conglomerate have been using the Zoids battle league to develop military Zoids for a potential future war but Kayaba seems focused on limiting or removing the separation between zoid and pilot. Mainly pilots a modified Sturm Tyrann.

Kuradeel is a mid ranked fighter in KOB, who pilots a Sword Wolf. If there was a ranking of Creepiest major league pilots he would be in the top 10.

Silica has a zoid, but is not a fighter. After getting lost in the forest outside her hometown she met Pina, her best friend and a zoid of indeterminate model or species.

Lisbeth is a travelling Zoid mechanic and Asuna's close friend. Her Gustav and Camper trailer have become the unofficial headquarters of Asuna and Kirito's as yet unnamed minor league team.

Sachi was never fond of zoid battles, but the lack of steady non combat work for Zoid pilots led to her and her friends starting the MBC. Formerly piloted a Rev Raptor.

Team PML is made up of pilots who could have been on par with KOB in the majors, but constant personal drama and repeated breakups and reunions leave them in the minors.

Llenn pilots a custom Leostriker, and is known for jettisoning her armor to rush opponents at incredible speed. Exclusively pilots small and micro scale Zoids and rarely talks to reporters.

Pitohui is known for using a wide variety of Zoids, but has recently favored a Liger Zero. Hasn't been reached for comment or photographed.

M is left picking up the slack for PML PR, and seems to be the most long suffering of the team, though he is the one member of the team to have never quit or joined a competing team. Used to pilot a Cannon Tortoise, but when Pitohui debuted her Liger Zero he switched to a heavily modified Iron Kong that serves to carry and swap Her Liger's CAS units.

Nicole design based on Sega hardware, with hints of Kos-Mos and Cortana.

Day 26- Fear

Ever since she was assigned to the Red Girl case, Mary has developed severe insomnia and scopophobia

Trying to come up with an abridged variant for my SAO survivor/Integral Factor character and Koharu, currently running with "Foreigner who signed up for SAO using Google translate and only vaguely understands why they can't log out" and "Keeps them around/out of the loop as a human therapy dog"

Various Pomme and Laika art, early Lucky Find concepts, some props work/world building and a couple Lego model designs.

Got an Echidna adopt from @gh0stselkie

Getting a feel for them, gonna’ call them Jacaranda

A couple more drawings based on that "robot catgirl vs. Heaven" dream from a while back, I thought it would be neat if angels hacked her back when she tried to make arms out of them since they came from the same place

I’ll definitely be making some more polished fanart, but I’m loving my first steps in this new rune factory.

I’ve always wished the older villagers and single Moms were marriageable, though.

They gave us two dudes old enough to grow beards this time, I guess.
