Description (before I begin, it wasn't notciable that musch on previous works for DFT, but I'm toying with a new shading technique, so that's why you see red and blue on his face)

Since I'm not too concerned about mistakes here, they will not be covered. Critiques will be discouraged. However, if you have any suggestions, like a special move, a weapon upgrade, something to add to personality, A scene involving this character, anything that would benefit me and the character, I'm more than willing to hear it out.

Name: Ikaika
Age: 19
Fairy: Erika (neutral)
Weapon: Fists
Quote: “I kicked your ass!! Now what’s you’re name again?”

Some call him “The Motor Mouth Fighter” because of his tendency to keep talking in a fight. During the day, he is a clerk in a videogame/card shop. During the night he fights in the seedy areas of Neo Sky City. All fighters are Fairy Keepers and along with with his fast mouth, he is known to use the Speed of his fairy to his advantage (more on that later). Some would call him average since his wins and loses are almost equal. When it comes to his day job as a clerk in the shop, he is a geek. He knows all that there is to know about games, consoles, and certain card games. His fighting style, some would say, he gets from playing so many fighting games.

This year, he is entering the Fairy Keepers Tournament (actually the first event in the game) for the third straight year in a row. Last year he suffered an embarrassing loss to someone that wasn’t even ready, in the very first round of the tournament. He became the laughing stock among websites, school students and the mainstream Fairy Keepers world. This year he hopes to go beyond the first round and make it to the top. This year however, will prove to be a big one since now heavy hitting Fairy Keepers like Vaigen, Sasha, Geddon, Ariana and so on will be competing.

His fighting style all depends on the enemy and what is needed to overcome it. The style itself is a mix of wrestling and Kick Boxing. His fairy, Erika, can alter how he fights and is noticeable by his eye color. In a neutral state, his left eye is blue and right eye is red (hard to notice though). When he needs more power to combat a speedy enemy, both of his eyes are red. When he needs speed to fight against a power enemy (they tend to be slow), both of his eyes turn blue. And of course, if he needs a balance of both, his eyes will go back to their neutral state.

Artist Interesting Note: in my cancelled project Neo Sky Legends, he was actually much more younger, more like 10 years old, had wild blonde hair and wore regular clothing. Also, he had two floating eyes behind him, one red (fire, male) and one blue (ice, female). Ikaika still used his fists though, but his fighting style was unrefined and dependant on the Eyes’ powers. When the project got cancelled, he went with it. But when I started Devangie’s Fairy Tale, I brang him back with an all new look and a little older (13 years old). I replaced the floating eyes with Erika the fairy and removed the elements. And now in this third redesign, he is way more older and has yet another new look.

This is only the third character. It's gonna get really cool once I start touching the enemies.

The shading you've done is interesting, and I think I can see the difference in eye color.

But I'd like to know about the attaching sashes on his shirt. It seems unusual.

I wanted to add something that was new and have those things going all over the place as he's fighting, like Shinobi's Scarf or Nariko's hair (Heavenly Sword, game sucks though).

Thanks. I'm glad the shoes came out okay. That's the only area that I actually neglect sometimes.
