I hav to ask, what is this costume from? I've never seen it in a game, only in art.

It is a costume I designed, and often bug people to draw. Any images you see with the outfit, I had a hand in getting them made. Well, almost all, anyway.

SQUID ! with this picture, I've came to a little uber-obvious revelation concerning :amiralaesir: character design, I think =°.°=

I meant  amiralaesir, of course ='-_-= *squid on me !*

Nice work!

wow! 0.0 that is really good. every time i draw her i screw up. you seem'd to have nailed her perfectly. the shading and coloring is awesome, great job!

Ah, apologies on my info about the outfit.
But still, it is a pretty darn good one. If only they'd used one like it in the games (ah well, we can always say this was a pre-Assault look, given there was about a year between Adventures and Assault).
The pose is a little more peaceful than the other pic but nevertheless, great details.

Wow. This is one of the very few (if not only) pics of Krystal that actually do the character justice.

I'd thought just about all pictures of Krystal were some random "original" character copulating with her, no reason or explanation given.

I'm fairly glad to see I was mistaken.

Heh. Welcome to why I've fallen out of love with her as a character. I wish Alty would stop spamming the world with his selfishness. Or that Nintendo would relaunch her tribal outfit or give her something like this. |3

Alty...

...and maybe SonicFox...

...I won't comment on them. Bile needs to stay out of my mouth, after all.


But yes, that's the reason I've dropped her as well, and established a healthy, insane fanboyism for Fox's other girlfriend instead.

Well you could have fallen for 'Kursed'. :P

Are you <your_expletive_here> kidding? Command does not exist, and never will.

No, thanks, I'll stay with Ms Phoenix.

Command put them in an awkward game design position for sure. LOL They didn't get a single part of Krystal's fur markings right in that Kursed image, but it was amusing to see her with longer hair and in something more revealing since Assault put her in the most poorly designed furry outfit ever. :P

Which aspects do you find poorly designed?

Skin-tight with thick material, heavy metal bands loosely attached to the tail that magically stay on, completely removing her ability to show her defining markings and/or tribal heritage, taking away her staff completely as though the other game never happened. :/

I'd call that entirely justified if it weren't for the fact that the outfit is still horribly impractical for combat.

Removing her staff, however, is acceptable. I doubt it would have stood much of a chance against Aparoid weaponry or defenses.

Hm, that reminds me.

Am I the only one who shifts between positively loathing the character and all who appreciate her, then shifting back towards liking her, then giving in completely to her physical attractiveness and finally getting oneself together and back to stage 1?

I guess I am, but the basic premise hopefully is not unique to me.

Eh, kinda. Phases; we all have them. Though I've had a really long 'ehhhhhh' phase lately. My fave pieces are still the really early Blue Deer comic sequence. And I'd go and try to appreciate fanart of her but between that awful 3D model with huge breasts, and all the 'stick-my-character-in-with-her' porn, that's nearly impossible to revive. I used to be the number one obsessed fan, but I at least respected her as a character. Then the Starfox series died. (Essentially) *shrugs* Just never liked the direction they took her character. So much potential, all wasted. They'd have to do a Call of Duty style game imo.

Well, now I definitely hope they've forgotten about Fara, else what happened to you may repeat itself.

...I still need to get my loins in line, however.
