+ -- groundworks -- + This is it, my ultimate BS page, this is as random as it comes. Various things that I suppose would count as info but does not belong in any particular section/catagory. They all however have one thing in common and that is they all have to do with the creation, making, or inspiration of Angel Sanctuary. Make this the random Yuki Kaori work page. Music Gravity - Luna Sea ( MP3 5.09 MB || MPG 72.4 MB ) This is one of the songs that I happen to have that Yuki Kaori always listen to when she draws or think about the progression of the story, it has a somewhat dreamy sound to it and she says that after awhile, it fades into the background ^^;; And if you have a fast connection, you can download the MTV in mpeg format which is 72 MB ^^;; I do believe that I better sets the mood of the song and environment though. Inspiration AHEM... yes that is a guy, a JPOP star named Hyde, oh have you all heard of him??? ^_^ so anyway, these are a few pix of him when he had long hair... along with a lot of makeup but he really is a pretty guy isn't he. Doesn't he remind you of someone? ANYONE? Did you know that he was the original model for Rociel, Setsuna and others? Well you must see the resemblance with Rociel, and so yes, this is where Yuki Kaori's twisted-ness came from. Character Design I've finally scanned the sketches I promised, from the back of Lost Angel, but I guess I'll still give a brief background. Angel Sanctuary was intended on being nothing more than ten volumes, it ends up being twice as long, obviously most of the stuff that we see now are not what Yuki-sensei had planned in the beginning. I think Uriel loves will faint if they see his original sketch - he's a cute little boy ^^;; And the mystery of the seven archangels! As I wrote in "World" no one was able to figure out who the seven are because one of them never made it beyond the sketch stage. Her name is Sakakie, the Great Dominion. From the sketch she appeared cold and serious, short black hair, looks like a student. Sevotharte was at first going to have some sort of "stuff" on his face, which eventually evolved into a mask/veil. If you want to know more, you can go see what Yuki Kaori had to say in her interview. I made notes in the alt tag for character sketches. The set of sketches that appears here is complete, the images were scanned by Rwen and they are the sole property of Digital Angel. I swear that if anyone steals them, they'll never want to open an AS site every again.
