Description so put a reference image up for his RWBY OC Shishi, and I thought it had some really cool concepts, and after asking his permission I came up with this: Shishi, brandishing his weapon (of a much more practical size), looking badass with his coat in all its glory. there is however a major problem, I cannot color this, as his coat is a solid black or very dark grey, and such a large area is very tricky to color correctly with colored pencils. (I'm looking at YOU, Khanthus... >.>)

I messed up on the exposed leg and the length of the hand on the sword, but other than that and the eye, (and the sword's trigger... things...) I felt I did pretty darn good on this, considering once I had the idea at freaking midnight from finding a near-perfect waist-up reference image to use, I couldn't fall asleep and sketched it till 3-4AM... all in one sitting, mind you. My poor hand... ah well, better now.

This is the Last Deviation I will upload today, next should be the first question's answer for Matthias' Character Interview, in theory. (once questions build up)

Very nice Matt Great work with Shishi.
Perhaps you could do one for one of my team, maybe?

If you can provide a reference, maybe. I have other stuff to do at the moment though, so I can't guarantee anything.

not likely i'll do something right away, if at all. I have other stuff lined up to do at the moment, but I will make a mental note that you gave reference links and maybe i'll do it if i'm really bored later ^^

He looks so awesome in this picture!

But wow, you stayed up that late drawing him? Your efforts really payed off, because this is fantastic!

(The reason his sword seems too big for him is because he's very short. )

(PS: If you want me to, I could color him when I get back from my vacation in a week or so.)

feel free to color it, I'd actually love if you re-uploaded this one or the colored one in your gallery and gave me credit for the original outline, just to see how other people react to it ^^

Got it.

I'm about 1,500 miles from my scanner, so it'll take a while for you to see the colored version.

fair enough. if you have trouble coloring it just re-upload this one for convenience. Also, if you wanna request something else, Shishi still has a cool design in my opinion.

 aand now I wanna draw my own RWBY OC Thanh either fighting or talking to him... >.> (other stuff to do atm though)

You're totally free to draw Shishi however you want.

Even in a cat maid outfit...

...

...Cat maid outfit.

...I'd prefer to keep things 'mostly' serious... (plus I don't have much practice with maid outfits, did em a while ago and didn't finish, except for one... and I'm definitely not uploading it >.>)

...that being said, I WOULD do a cat-maid outfit for Shishi, but only once. (not now though, other stuff to do) and I prefer that you come up with the requests as opposed to depending on me doing something unexpectedly, 'cause I'll forget XD
