Description This is the third time I try to put this drawing up. :3 Got a little stressed the 2nd of August. XD

I think the title fits for 3 reasons:

1)Ray goes back to where he grew up: the area of the White Tigers in the mountains of (southern?) China. :3

2)He wears clothes that are based on those he wore in season 1: blue, red, yellow and white.

3)I'm going back to the anime that started it all: Beyblade. Well, Pokemon was the first... Beyblade Second. But it's still pretty much where I came from.^^

I felt like drawing Ray again. It's been a while since I last did Beyblade Fanart. This is not meant to be a copy of what the looks like in Season 1, V-Force or G-Revolution. It's probably what he would look like when he's 17-18. So after G-Rev. :3

Done with Aquarel paint. ^^ I think I'm getting better with backgrounds. ^^

The background looks AWESOME!
They actualy say "back to roots" in the show
"Ray returned back to the roots of the game" ~Kenny

Still cant believe Beyblade is coming back

Thank you.
Oh, they do? So there's a 4th reason it fits this drawing. x3
Oh, it's confirmed? Last time I heard there was a season 4 it wasn't confirmed yet.

Not a 4th season. it's more of a new series.

So, no Anime, but still new Beyblades.

No, there's a new anime, it's a new series of Beyblade. Metal Fight.

I know there's a new series of Beyblades... I just heard at AnimeNewswork or whatever that site is called, that there were possibilities of a new anime season too. And today I heard a rumor about a new manga... but I doubt it...

I heard that the Manga will actually start in October, but the Manga-ka who made Duel Monsters something... I don't know if I'm going to read it... It doesn't quite appeal to me. Not the name of the main character nor the drawing style.

This is beautiful! Your colours are so vibrant and the BG here looks just fantastic! I know how much of a pain it is to draw Chinese looking mountains and you pulled it off just perfectly! You're definitely getting loads better The lines look so smooth and crisp too and Ray looks so much at peace

Yes that's true alright. So that means you captured him right, eh?

And I'm doing the same thing actually. I'm working on something that also happens to have Chinese Mountains in the BG and well, safe to say I'm ripping all my hair out trying to make it all work...

Koto-wari In reply to Vyrilien [2008-08-11 13:44:33 +0000 UTC]

Oh really? That's wonderful to hear.
Perhaps you should look out for a wig than... or find something else to rip. D:
You never disappoint. :>

I tried to recall those old beyblade episodes. they're quite handy.
