Description I know I keep saying this, but DOWNLOAD FOR FULLVIEW, PLEASE! This one is pretty big.

This was my figure drawing final project. I wanted to included all of the characters from my samurai story in a scene together. Here's the breakdown from left to right:

Ayano - a bakeneko in human guise

Shidou Takumi (15) - a young Shinto priest and shikigami summoner. Haruka's younger brother

Masa- former chief of an oni tribe.

Kaito (18) - the sole survivor of a recently extinct shinobi line.

Shidou Haruka (27) - The currant master of a old samurai noble family and adept mononoke slayer.

Nue - A long dead chimera-like mononoke whose powerful spirit maintains a presence in the mortal world.

I got what may very well be my favorite art complement from my professor while working on this, so I feel I must share. He looked over my shoulder for a minute and said, "You know, you should draw porn." Because I draw everyone so pretty. XD Obviously, I laughed and he followed it up with, "Softcore, of course," so I said "Naturally; you wouldn't want so see anything distasteful." Probably one of the best conversations I've had with a teacher. XD

I apologize for spamming, but I just got a bunch of my large-scale classwork scanned, so prepare for an impending barrage of that nonsense in the next few days.

18" x 24", Watercolor, gouache, and ink.

Thank you~! I feel that I achieved at least a little diversity between them.

Your welcome
I am trying to achieve diversity in the type of characters I can draw too.

It really is harder than it seems, isn't it? I'm trying to branch out a little more, too.

Luddeagle In reply to Meiseki [2011-05-28 10:36:28 +0000 UTC]

Aye, it is. It is very hard.
I don't want to get stuck like CLAMP, only being able to draw certain type of body shapes and characters only. I am guessing they stuck to that for a reason though. Consistency, perhaps?
Admittedly, their work is good though. Especially in Tsubasa Chronicles.

Thank you~ It's a decent size on paper, so it loses something when condensed.

All manners of evil girly men on this ridge, and it looks one pulled a Miyuki on the far left. Your painting skill taunts me.

Lol! I do so love your obscure Yu Yu Hakusho references. One is six is a lady! That's better than my usual ratio of zero in infinity. And thanks! I need to brush up on my watercolor skills a little...

Someone's gotta know them, but it may be worse that you are the only one would know who i was talking about, lol.

I was a little disappointed in myself for getting the reference so fast, I admit... xD

Aww, you are too kind. Heehee, everybody seems to be seconding my professor's opinion. XD So much encouragement...
