Description = FULL VIEW PLEASE!!!!=
(Tiny tiny details that need to be seen)

This one however took much much much more time to finish.. I still don't think it's done..
I'm though quite happy with the color job >.>x

This is really based on the dragon that was used in the collaboration with
And yes I am dedicating this to her. Only because it was her idea to do that collab after the discussion of what Rurouni Kenshin cast member was represented by certain animals and creatures.
As you can tell yes I used the same colors and scheme but only using my new style to drawing dragons lol. *plus had thought the original one should've shown up better after being scanned but didn't also thinks this version's coloring is way way better*
So please go and check out *Paranoid-Duckkie 's gallery. You'll find really nicely done and awesome RuroKenshin fanart amongst some really nicely done feline art,fantasy art,original art,etc.


And yes if you look closely at the glowy sun you can see that I did use the Ishin's Hitokiri picture lol. So yes it is also in a way fanart.. *but mostly fantasy art.. had found a use for the drawing *

It took longer to finish than the "True form of Karyuu". 3/4 days (including the nights since she drew out the line art in graphite,inked it, then kept coloring over it in colors and adding on few extra clouds and the glowyness of the sun)

The dragon and the Kenshin art belongs to me, HikyuuTera, however Kenshin and the rest of the rurouni Kenshin characters all belong to Nobuhiro Watsuki-sama.

No stealing or using without asking for permission,please,or else.

Can I tell you how blown away I am by the detail in this? The colouring job on the hair and the scales alone is something to be really proud of and you just can't go wrong with dragon artwork.

If you hadn't told us to zoom in we wouldn't have notice Kenshin inside the sun. That is so cool!

Kenshin looks so wonderful as a dragon. Love the vivid and rich colors. I feel like saying "such a pretty dragon."

I wouldn't minded if this was made into a poster size and hang it on my wall. That's how wonderful this artwork is.

Well done!!

Hmmm I kept re-reading my sentences and I think my verb tenses are off. I hope you understand.

One more thing, I have commented on this before back in either October or November but this stupid computer of mine decided to freeze on me and lost the wonderful comments I've made.

I can't remember if I faved this one or not. I'm gonna anyway on the safe side.

I loved this piece the instant I saw it... before I read the artist's comments. *gets all teary eyed* Thaaaaank yoooooou! :dance;

I swear, every time you draw a dragon, you get better at it. This is awesome, from the composition to the detail to the colors.

I'm glad you did, and no problem at all since it was originally a part of your idea with the collab. and no I haven't forgotten about it lol. *just has been very busy with things*

lol Thankies, I know though I did repeat with the colors though. I had thought that I should attempt at coloring it better than the other one. Although I still think it's lacking something in it.

Anyhow Thankies again and it's really no problem, you're one who suggested the collab which got me to color the original in this color scheme. ^_👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Paranoid-Duckkie In reply to HikyuuTera [2007-10-01 23:06:41 +0000 UTC]

Lacking? As for the colors, they are Kenshin's colors and that is part of what I like best about it. ^^
You're very very welcome. ^__^ and thank you.

HikyuuTera In reply to Paranoid-Duckkie [2007-10-02 03:55:07 +0000 UTC]

yeah lacking. I've thought of adding in a poem in the background or something else. I don't think the Kenshin in the sun is that much noticable. *actually wrote a poem that might go in it*

lol, I'm glad you noticed the coloring being Kenshin's. *had tried to get the mane as close as she could to the actual color of Kenshin's hair.* The body I was originally at a loss for so I just went over it alot with several shades of reds,oranges,even magenta and pinks to get that color. *didn't want it to be the other dragon's coloring but close to it. kinda like a two tone look on it's scales.* In a way, my idea as to what Kenshin would look like as a dragon since his spirit is pretty much represented by one. lol Infact the title translates to "Soaring-dragon of Hiten" Hiten from Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu.

You're welcome ^^x

Paranoid-Duckkie In reply to HikyuuTera [2007-10-02 04:49:32 +0000 UTC]

no, not really noticeable at all... you think you could darken it a bit somehow? I didn't see it at first... had to look really hard to make it out.

Definitely two toned works well. That is what I thought you were going for, Kenshin as a dragon... it fits perfectly. A magestic and powerful dragon with lots of pretty red hair. XD

Oh, I was wondering what Hiryuu literally meant. Thanx. ^^x

I will probably when I can find the time to ^_
lol I thought it did to, kinda like how a fish scales shimmer when the fish swims.
There's actually a fanfic about him being the almighty dragon god, Ryujin and Kaoru being the maiden who was put out as a sacrifice but ends up being his bride. Remember the picture of Kaoru and the dragon? lol

lol! of course xD dragon Kenny.Who can use his massive tail like a sword and slash down his opponents/enemies using god-like speed xD
*could actually picture that*

yep I found that out actually on accident when I was searching for good Japanese words for names and such

*used to have alot of screen names on yahoo that was only in Japanese.*
I even found out the word for red-head.. but unfortunately forgot U.Ux

Paranoid-Duckkie In reply to HikyuuTera [2007-10-02 14:45:52 +0000 UTC]

I thought that is what you were after... I think if you made it just a hint more orange then it could still be ghost like... but people would notice there is something there and look at it more closely. Just my thought.

Yeah, exactly like a fish, and seeing how dragons there are more closely connected with fish water and good luck, it is a nice touch. ^^x

That was a fan fic? I bet it was a pretty cool one. ^__^ I do remember that picture.

Not just the tail, but the talons too. It would be god speed, not just god like speed. XD wait... now we are turning him intot the dragon god again. XD Maybe his spirit is that of the dragon god but he wanted to live as a human for one time just to understand us better... maybe... *Kenshin looks at us in disbelief*

Kenshin: oro? *points to self*

Yeah, and maybe oro is what DRAGONS say when they are confused.

There is a word for red head? I wonder what it is.

HikyuuTera In reply to Paranoid-Duckkie [2007-10-03 22:12:18 +0000 UTC]

Either that or just add in another drawing of him *like the Ishins Hitokiri one which was one of original choices she thought of to add in* I need to get my scanner working again though before I fix it.

lol yeah they are, infact I think their scales originated from koi fish. Since in Japanese/Chinese folklore that the Eastern dragons are made up of several parts of different species of animals/creatures. If I remember right from reading about it that their scales came from that of fish, in Japanese legend possibly the koi fish.
lol

yeah it was, but unfortunately the author decided to stop writing it. It was pretty good to. It was based on the old legend of the dragon god/king, Ryujin, who later marries a mortal girl. Ryujin is also said to be the ancestor of the first
emporer or Japan,from what I've read. Or something like that.

*nods* Exactly. xD
That's what I've thought for a while now, hence the whole obsession with drawing dragons now lol. I think it could be possible that he could be a reincarnation of Ryujin

lmao poor Kenshin. Then again Ryujin is mostly depicted as a red dragon so yeah it could be possible that Kenshin would be. That could possibly explain his unnatural red hair and violet-blue(sometimes golden amber) eyes. Because it's hard to even come across someone with that distinction back then. lol

*giggles at Kenshin's confusion as they talk about what he could really be...*

lol it could be xD

I wish I remembered U.Ux *might try to find it again later*

Paranoid-Duckkie In reply to HikyuuTera [2007-10-04 15:20:40 +0000 UTC]

That would be a good idea too... as long as it is more clear that Kenshin is in there it's all good. ^^x

I thought it was koi fish too... I mean come on, they have such beautiful scales. And seeing how koi hold such significance in Japan ... to my understanding ... it would only stand to reason.

That is too bad... but that happens with a lot of fics... seeing how it will never bring any fiscal rewards the spark can burn out after a while I guess. Maybe you or another fan of the story needs to write an ending.

See, I was thinking of the red hair and the violet blue (amber) eyes too. I mean, I have heard that it is POSSIBLE for Japanese to have variations in their hair color... but still... *looks at Kenshin* Yep, definitely the color of a red dragon.

*Kenshin is now looking at his hair holding a piece of it and thinking*

And eyes that change colors... definitely amber in particular, if that doesn't scream dragon, I don't know what does.

Kenshin: but this one really doesn't think that...

And what about the way he regarded human life when he was young... valuing it and yet taking it for grated at the same time... in the same way a human might value the life of a cat but not hold it in the same regard... that could have been from that as well... oops. *noticing Kenshin now hanging his head in depression* Sorry Kenshin. I didn't mean to get carried away. * s the Kenshin * We still love you. ^^
