Artist's Comments

And here we have the final drawing for my collaboration with ~Ptitukyo -- what would our Vestals be without their Priestess, Akagi Honouko ("The Red-clothed Flame-child" :giggle:).

Priestess Honouko was the Vestal Verania before Diana, during the time of the first Holy Wars (if you're curious, I also have an idea of how the Priestess before her looked like... ;p)

I actually drew her before Gegania Gen (around June/July 2007) and I was going through a Marvel phase (which would explain her stronger body structure). I actually had a hard time designing her armor, to the point that I almost bore holes into paper ^^; -- how do I make it different from the Vestals, in the sense that you know, just by looking that this person's of a higher rank (besides the staff, that is)? How do I make her "fully covered" without copying the kamui?

Again, I had to run to CLAMP and take a look at the Magic Knight Rayearth armors. The Cloths of Saint Seiya are way too masculine, and I didn't want this Priestess to wear a gown all the way as I want her to be mobile, and yet look regal. ;)

The colors were easy to figure out -- a brighter gold than Tarpeia, and have the staple color "red" of Hestia and fire-flowers.

I would like to thank Stephanie of Obsidian Dawn for her "Arcane Circles" brush set, and Ningen Anime Wallpapers for the tutorials on how to make them glow. :aww:

I hope y'all enjoy this as much as I did while making it. =D
