The Works of Justin Aquino

The eldest of the three "JAquino" brothers, Justin is the one most steeped in art.  His subjects are usually figures but his media and styles vary greatly.

Watercolor, my favorite done in copy paper.  The drawing was realy meant for computer color but I got impatient.  I have'ta admit, when I made the drawing I kept Henry's Idea of "Togashi Chippendale" in mind.

Originally a crab standard-armor design until I got a little sick of L5R.  The idea was to use as much shadows as possible, without losing the effect.  Unfinished; I left it that way because of sentimental reasons.

Icaru is a young boy and a powerful psychic.  Born from a dying family line, a Guardian Ghost has come to protect him and raise him.  In battle the ghost takes the form of a large ancient armor (the size of a mobile suit), floating in a cloak of mist.  The special weapons that are at this mech's disposal are giant chains that act like tentacles, a ghost sword, and the ability to create a giant black hole.

Red Icaru: This version is my touched up version of Jasper's Character (because he could not make up his mind).  Russian overtones for that exotic feel.  I preferred the red concept because of the energy it provokes at the same time as it the touches on my taste in clothing.
