It's certainly a more dynamic pose than I could ever come up with. *luffs on the foreshortening* Will you teach me your Fake Background no Jutsu? *_*

Artist's Comments won the 5555 kiriban, and requested a pic of his original character, Kuroxan. *ultranic-comics and I have had some, er, discussion about dynamic posing in the past, so therefore I knew that if I didn't achieve a dynamic pose, he'd mock me mercilessly. But I think I might have managed to do it, in some tiny manner.  Anyway, here ya go, hope you like it, dude.  I probably screwed up on his costume somewhere, but I'm going to claim it as artistic license.  Linework in pen on comic board, coloring in Photoshop. Fake Background no Jutsu! That's my ninja way!

 Four gold stars and a smiley face sticker for you! ^__^ And never give up your ninja way!!!
-- Cheers -Shira Thanks!
Of course, it's now, *after* I upload it, where I see where my shadow in the linework makes his butt look horribly broken. *sigh* -- "After gazing in the mirror I found that I STILL had all the allure and appearance of a severely depressed, oily herring." - from A Day in the Life of Severus Snape by Hel  looking good! The pose is full of action!
 Hi.
I still didn't got enought time to wright you all things I want to tell you on your reply on my form post, and your comments. And, I think that "thank you" just isn't enough... This is a great picture, but, there is one thing that is just wrong on it... The way he is holding wakizashy. It is un natural. (worng, not good). I have a collection of cold weapons, and I fight with my friend with bambus sticks, and we do a lot of stuff, and from my experience I can tell you that you hold your sworf (knife, stick, weapon) with all fingers wery tight. And there is NO way you would let loos your index and pinky finger... Not in a fight... Maybe if you are showing of... beside that, grat picture... hope to hear from you soon!  -- One lonely portrait covers the lovestarved canvas In honour of the birthless rebellion within me. Every picture holds a tale Every shade tells of a thousand words The artistry of living chaos Is pictured in the poets tears...  Great work! I love the pose and ninja's rawk!
-- I sat on it in the family tree and got a splinter in my turtle. <3 HEY, *ultranic-comics! *points at comment* See what I mean?!
 Thanks for your comments, and you've actually just illustrated perfectly something I was discussing with * ultranic-comics the other day, where I told him that you had to make your martial arts plausible in art and writing, even if it was a fantasy world where you were making things up, because people who knew them would point out everything that you got wrong. Anyway, I actually didn't intend it to be a formal wakizashi; it was a random dagger-type thing that just happened to be drawn that way. So we'll put it down to him being all show-offy, like people in movies who hold their guns sideways. I expect that wearing a scarf with really long ends around your neck would be even less of a good thing to do in combat -- it's the perfect choke-hold for your opponent.-- "After gazing in the mirror I found that I STILL had all the allure and appearance of a severely depressed, oily herring." - from A Day in the Life of Severus Snape by Hel It took a while to come up with -- it wasn't until I thought "hey, maybe he should be upside down..." that it came together. Before that, he was always posing, instead of being caught in action, and the picture was sort of dead because there was no story implied.This particular Fake Background no Jutsu involved throwing on a few brushstrokes of various shades of purpley-blue, a motion blur, and then smudging around, then another motion blur. -- "After gazing in the mirror I found that I STILL had all the allure and appearance of a severely depressed, oily herring." - from A Day in the Life of Severus Snape by Hel Hey, no problem... I'm glad you like it.... Oke, so he's a show-offy ltype a guy (like tom cruise in top gun) he,he... Hear from you again I hope! P.S. Have a nice weekend -- One lonely portrait covers the lovestarved canvas In honour of the birthless rebellion within me.
