ZONE OF THE ENDERS THE 2nd RUNNER : M∀RS (Promotional art)

A series of Illustrations I did for Konami EU for a promotion that coincided with the release of ZONE OF THE ENDERS THE 2nd RUNNER : M∀RS. A really fun project.
Each illustration portrays a character and their Mech. one of the hard parts about this project was finding proper reference. Konami Provided key art for all the characters however from some of the angles the art was drawn I couldn't use a lot of it as reference. Not a lot of production art like character sheets exist online and none of the books that had these works in them exist in the West. From the concept art to the different Key Art, in game art to the HD remaster and the original animations they are all different in some way. This version incorporates elements from it all and it still is some what off model. I guess close enough will do.

I ended up drawing more of Jehuty than what is seen in the final art. The Final ZOE art is 27.94 by 43.18 cm. Jehuty is  76.2 by 116.84 cm at 400 dpi.  So theoretically Konami EU can print them as posters and what not I hope they do.

When doing thumbnails for all the images to show to Konami EU Leo was the first I drew. I actually had two ideas for him the other was going to be an homage to the covers of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood for PC Engine and Gradius III and IV covers for PS2

Lloyd and Inhert are quite possibly the most difficult characters to draw in ZOE. Not because they are difficult to draw but because it’s so hard to find proper reference of them.
