Description Contest prize for [link]

She got second place with a cute rendition of a Spirit Dragon, which was what the contest was for. Only two participants.

So sad.

Anyway, second prize was a colored sketch of a character, and I'd originally chosen Kyo - or did I get his name wrong? But, I'd taken SOOOO long that I added in her other character - now his name I REALLY don't remember - as well as my character, Rhaidon. They're all just sort of chillin' together, y'know?

This picture scanned a little better than the other but sometimes coloring with markers is hard. Sometimes they blend really well, but others times, mistakes are painfully obvious and it's often hard to stay right within the lines and so I apologize for anything that might look a tad.... sloppy. I HATE being sloppy in my work, but it's so hard with markers.

Kyo's skin color came out a little too dark. I was experimenting with different skin tones to try to make him appear older, which he is. I can't remember how old the other character is, but I think he's somewhere in the same range as Rhaidon, who in this image is between 17 and 18.

Rhaidon's facial expression is hugely influenced by Edward Elric, but the one thing that ties all THREE of these dudes together is that they were inspired by our favorite anime/manga character; Himura Kenshin. You can sort of see it in all three, but more so in Rhaidon and Kyo.

Anyway, hope you guys can enjoy it. Because this is so simple, it'll eventually go in scraps.

Yeah, that's where I got the facial expression from. It's hard to make him look like Rhaidon while keeping those individual's who helped inspire him visible, y'know? Kenshin was the first. And Ed is one of the latest simply because of his facial expressions. Rhaidon is no where near as spunky as that kid is, but he can have his moments.

The clothes and hair color from Kenshin and expression from Ed. XD Very interesting. "That kid" is Ed? ^^

I've got some little sketches of facial expressions from both Kenshin and Edd that I'll be coloring soon. A few I have started coloring. It's more practice to learn how to do those facial expressions so sometimes he'll look more like Ed and other times he'll look more like Kenshin. Hopefully I can figure out a way to draw Rhaidon so he looks like Rhaidon. We'll see how things go.

And yeah... Ed. ^^

Don't tell Ed he's a "kid"! XP He doesn't want to be reminded he's short and a kid.

Looking forward to the colored versions of the sketches. :3

It's been on my mind constantly! But inspiration and circumstances were not always on my side.

But you're welcome!
