The Krystal Archive is a repository for official and fan works of Krystal, everyone's favorite blue vixen. We also bring you the latest Krystal-related news and information. The Krystal Archive stands for the age-independent appreciation of Krystal as a character, so this site is rated PG. There are some major spoilers here and there about the Star Fox games, so be prepared.
Click one of the links in the left navigation bar to get started. It's all pretty self-explanatory. The latest news is below. I hope you enjoy it here!
Still confused about who this Krystal person is? Try this article. Want to help out the Krystal Archive? This is what I need.
In a world-wide simultaneous release, the Project Kursed team has allowed the Krystal Archive, among a few other places, to post the teaser trailer.
For those who don’t know, Project Kursed is a fan game focusing on the story of Kursed, Krystal’s chosen name as a bounty hunter after one ending of Star Fox Command. It is using the Source game engine and will be primarily a first person shooter. We have previously covered it here.
According to the KLA’s Sabre, there are quite a few Krystal Avatars available for the 3D chat program IMVU. Specifically, he highlighted those by the artist razi. There is apparently a code that will allow these Pro models to be used for free forever. Also, a general search of IMVU’s database revealed quite a few other Krystal-related items.
I didn’t cover Kat the Leopardess’s second Krystal cosplay as I should have. I need to create a section of the site to Krystal cosplay, now that there are several instances of it. Anyway, here’s a video of Kat dressed as Krystal in a rather wild costume on top of that.
After long last, I’ve finally finished editing the Alésia Glidewell interview. Summer classes kept me busy, sorry guys. Anyway, this special episode features only parts 1 and 2 of the interview with Alésia Glidewell. Episode 19 will probably come early September. Also, Odeo is not allowing the podcast to be linked to at this time, so it won’t appear in your subscription yet. However, you can download it below.
I made this a few months ago, but never got around to posting it. There are these block things called PixelBlocks. They are for making sprites and such into real-world models. I decided to do a Krystal one, and the best choice for the amount of blocks I had was Winterwinstar’s Krystal sprite (which unfortunately has gone missing since then).
I might try another Krystal sprite eventually (though I’ll need hundreds more blue). Currently I’m working on a Samus one.

After a really long time with nothing to add, I’ve updated Star Fox Command: All The Words with full-size direct source imagery for the Prolog and Endings (along with a couple of other small changes). This is all thanks to the work of JiraniS, who ripped the images.
After seeing the work of JiraniS on the Spriters Resource, and getting his permission, I’ve posted all of his Krystal-related sprites, as well as the ones I ripped almost a year ago.
Okay guys. I took time out of my busy schedule to do these this afternoon. I probably won’t be able to do any more until the end of the month because I’ve got a massive presentation due in 1.5 weeks, and I’m just getting started (I’ve read like 300 pages of an OpenGL book in the last two days). It will be an AI project based on 3D world streaming techniques. There’s a lot to do.
Hope you all enjoyed 4th of July more than I did! :)
As number 4! The news comes a little late, as this story was posted in June of 2007, but nevertheless, The Furtean Times, an online furry newspaper, has ranked Krystal as number 4 out of 50 of the most popular anthropomorphic characters, as voted on by members of DA, FA, and their own community. I’m not entirely sure how accurate the commentary is on each character (Sonic more well known than Mario? Are you sure about that?), but the author is pretty accurate on Krystal, acknowledging that she’s more than eye candy. Additionally, Fox McCloud ranked at #2.
Congratulations to both. I knew they were popular, but to be that close to the top is very telling about the crazy fans the Star Fox community has.
I wish to thank someone for bringing this story to my attention, but wouldn’t you know it, the note I made of who to give credit to is missing. Whoever told me about this story, thank you, and please contact me so I can give you proper credit.
Reader of the site, the_canadian92, contacted me a little about a personal project of theirs. It’s called SmashBrosX, a 2D sprite-based version of the popular Super Smash Bros. series with new characters. There are plans to have Krystal as a playable character, so I thought I would let you guys know about it. the_canadian92 also sent me some of the Krystal sprites which will likely be used in the creation of the final sprites.
