Description
Kanda the Exorcist and Kanda the Serperior. I need no more words to explain this picture.
Serperior are said to be around 3m in length, this one is probably more around 3,5-4m. Ah well...Ty is taller than the norm as well.
I'm trying to find a new colouring style for hair... To put more texture in it, with less cell-shading.
Edited that one
I seem to have a lack for BGs lately... I hope you don't mind this one hasn't got one either.
And for those wondering if I'm still going to draw Canon fanart, yes, don't worry... I'm working on some. :'3
And I'll try to reply to all those comments I have in my inbox as soon as possible. Expect a reply soon~

I named my Serperior Kanda after I saw this.

Yay. \o/ Every Serperior I own goes, by default, by the name of Kanda. :3

Lol I pictured Kanda as more of an ice-type. That's why I named my Glaceon after him.

My Serperior enbodies the fierce competitor that Kanda is, including his solitary nature, pride in his own skills and not to be taken lightly. No offense, but I think Glaceon is a bit too "cute" to be Kanda. In my oppinion, Glaceon's not menacing enough to reflect Kanda's glare. But that just how I feel~ o/ In fact, Kanda the Serperior is something that originates from the fact that I named my Snivy/Tsutaaja Kanda while playing a fantranslated rom when the official English names weren't released yet. : > It's stuck ever since. I once had a Nidorino named Kanda. |3

Well to each their own, as I say.

I name my pokemon after anime characters.

Oh, nice. Well, I kind of renamed my main PokΓ©mon in Black because by then, only the romanised Japanese names were known. They stuck... and are now featured in my UBF team. :'D

...you name your pokemon after anime characters as well?
π: 0 β©: 1
Not always, but Kanda and Lavi are exceptions. :'3
I rarely nickname my PokΓ©mon, but I played a fantranslated rom of Black, which still had the original japanese names, but English text. Kind of nicknamed most of my pokΓ©mon on it: Veren/Pendoraa, Aurora/Zeburaika, Kanda/Jalorda.... it just sounds better. : >

I only name the first six :3 in HeartGold I named my cyndaquil "Lavi" and then didn't realize until way later that it was a girl DX
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I see. Well, I only named those that I ended up using frequently. : >
Ahw. D; I had a Jolly Gyarados named Lavi.: >

Well,I named my Snivy Yuu actually XD We think alike.

Awwww, the Serperior's expression just makes me melt (because it's such a cool PokΓ©mon and it's being so sweet)
Adorable :'D I also like the more textured hair, gives the hair more volume 
π: 0 β©: 1
Isn't it always nice when cool things are being sweet? ;3
Thank you, I'm glad you like it. ^^ It does indeed look more voluminous than just flat shading. I'm still experimenting with this mixed style of cell and soft shading. But glad to hear I'm on the right path. :3

Pfft 
Or I imagine Human Kanda saying "Oh Kanda (pokemon) Why are you so pretty?" and then Pokemon Kanda blushes.....
π: 0 β©: 1
Random indeed...
And Kanda would never say that. >_>

Lol Have a little imagination Kippy
He could be saying "marry me, Kanda!" as well too

I do, but I like my Kanda IC. XD
Oh, come on!

I love Serperior. He may not be the strongest Pokemon on my team, but he's still my first and my fave grass type of the new generation. Kanda is okay too. He may not be my favorite character in the series, but he's a pretty neat character all on his own.
I like the way you shaded his hair, though it still lacks a realistic texture to it. I'm not saying it doesn't have texture, but with the way it is now, his hair seems to look more like clay than it does hair to me. Don't let this discourage you from this coloring style though, because with practice I'm sure it'll get a better look to it. Maybe try adding the undertones and highlights all throughout his hair (in the right places of course) instead of just certain areas like his bangs and ponytail. It might give his hair the texture you're looking for. Just a suggestion however, so feel free to experiment if you wish to.

Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it. :3
Serperior is one of my favourite PokΓ©mon from the Unova region. :3 The Serperior in my first Black File, was named after my favourite DGM character... And I think their personalities would match as well. :3
Thank you for your critique. This is what I wanted to hear. I tried applying more shades and lines to his hair and updated this picture. Would you mind telling me if it looks better now?
I'm still trying to find the balance between cell-shading and soft shading. I usually combine both, but I still somewhat want to separate realism and Anime-style, and yet combine them. If that makes sense.

I never nickname my Pokemon. It just becomes to much of a hassle after a while. If anything, I just name them after colors, lol
Oh yeah, his hair actually looks a lot better than before now that you've added to it. I understand completely when you say you want to balance the different styles. I don't color my work often, but I do watch how my friends do it and I learn from them. I know my friend, ~ULTRArei looks as references often when she wants to do art work really well. I would suggest looking at photographs of hair to see how it flows and how the highlights and undertones work with different hairstyles. It could help you figure out how to make it look more realistic.

I only do so sometimes, and usually it's only special pokΓ©mon.
Alright.

I loved the picture.
I am sure Kanda is loving having Serperior as his pokemon. Is there any chance you do Lavi with Samurot and Allen with emboar?

Thank you very much, I'm glad you do. :3
I think he would like that as well. :3
I don't know. Might try it, but I can't promise anything.

Awwwwww cute <3
Especially the one on the right 
And red suits Kanda very well !
π: 0 β©: 1
They're both cute, but I agree, the right one is the cutest. <3
Yeah, it does. : D I like this colour red on him. :'D
π: 0 β©: 1
Or the hottest
Yeah, it suits him really well <3 I mean, with his black-with-blue-light hair and grey-or-blue eyes, you could think it doesn't, but...

I would make some weird comment about Fire PokΓ©mon, but since Serperior is grass, I can't.
I think that dark blue/black actually goes very well with this deep dark red. =/ Some people seem to disagree with me, but I really do like it.

That's why I said it
Yeah, I like it too ^^

Nah, he's not that cold hearted. :3
Yey. :'D

Well sometimes, it seems so
π: 0 β©: 1
It does, but deep down, he isn't. : >
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I know. But he hides a lot !
π: 0 β©: 1
He's got his reasons, right? :3

Thank you! Glad you think so!
