Description Title: BASICS!!! (revised)
Original Post Date: 7.27.2008

The Story:
It’s a Halloween drawing which ended up being entered in a contest. I wanted to use characters that I hadn’t drawn much (up to that point), so I went with the three of them. As for the costume decisions, sure there were plenty that I could have chosen from, but I wanted to go with some that just aren’t done every day.

Lee as Kakoton of Ikki Tousen
Tenten as Kei of Dirty Pair (Flash)
Neji as Bankotsu of InuYasha

My Take:
This is a revision of one of my earlier Halloween projects. I did make a few changes of note here…besides changing Lee’s outfit, I went with the older versions of the team. Neji’s face look slightly more mature than before, I tried making Tenten look more toned, and Lee (unintentionally) looks the same. I didn’t really bother with a background here.

What I Like Most:
Overall this project came out 100% better than it looked before, and I remembered to add the little gun pouch this time around.

What I Dislike Most:
I’m still a little disappointed with Lee’s hand, it was fine during the sketching stage, but it didn’t quite translate well to the coloring phase. That sword didn’t really come out the way I thought it would either…it looks good and all, but it’s way too thin.

Final Thoughts:
For those of you that are new to my drawings, I use a different style than you are used to. I have nothing against the original style, but I’m not going to try to be someone that I’m not. I want to have a style of my own.
