Description Hi

I can't believe I'm finally done with this picture *phew*
Took me quite a while (despite the simple look).

My old love for Kenshin has returned. Watched the anime recently, currently rereading the Manga and bought the Kenshin Kaden.
I also found Watsuki's new character concepts. Some of them were alright, some...not so much. I tried to draw Kenshin in this new version style (not sure if I like the two ponytails or the new scar).
I had to make those colors up...hope it works^^

Himura Kenshin


btw: That's a Plum Tree in the background (since Tomoe smelled of plums)

Oh wow i love this. So is this design part of Watsuki's new character concepts or did you come up with this?

Nichii In reply to KaoruxKenshin [2009-02-28 21:17:14 +0000 UTC]

Yay!
I used the new design from Watsuki. Must admit that I wasn't too fond of the scar or the two ponytails but the overall concept is good

There wasn't a colorscheme given so I just made up my own, hehe.

KaoruxKenshin In reply to Nichii [2009-03-03 01:26:23 +0000 UTC]

Yeah he's not as hot-lookin with that scar. Kaoru doesn't look like Kaoru and Saitoh looks like a bum xp

Nichii In reply to KaoruxKenshin [2009-03-03 09:33:33 +0000 UTC]

Not AS hot-looking but still hot enough, hehe^^
I think that Kaoru looks really young with the new design and I don't like her hair at all (and where is her ribbon?).
Saitou looks cool!
And Aoshi looks...well, like one dude from Bleach : /

KaoruxKenshin In reply to Nichii [2009-03-03 19:12:58 +0000 UTC]

Her hair looks like noodles, (linguini I think?) to me.

Yeah I don't watch Bleach but thats what I thought when I saw AOshi. Misao looks even more like a boy. Kenshin is smex no matter what but I like the old version better. *massive drooling* same goes for Sano *nose bleed* and Enishi.... damn RK dudes are some fine pieces of 2-dimensional ass.

Aaaaw Kenshin *_* Ich liebe die OVAS, sie sind do schön gezeichnet und sooo traurig!
Du hast ihn toll dargestellt, ich mag diese Colo-Art! Bei den Haaren auch unglaublich detailliert, schön!!
Und das Farbschema, mit dem Pflaumenbaum....
ach, ich steh auf dieses Violettspektrum >_<

Nichii In reply to Toffi-Fee [2009-02-25 17:57:47 +0000 UTC]

Jaaa, Kenshin ist Liebe
Cool dass du das auch so siehst, hehe.
Die OVAs fand ich so schrecklich traurig und ich zögere das schon wieder ewig hinaus sie mir anzusehen

Hab vielen tausend Dank für den Kommentar und dieses super Kompliment

Ich hab tatsächlich gestern Reflections gesehen...am Ende hab ich (wie zu erwarten) wie blöde rumgeheult
Ich hasse es, dass sie Kenshin zu nem Krüpel machen...
Trust and Betrayal ist zwar auch traurig, aber das erzählt ja praktisch nur, was man aus dem Manga eh schon kennt...das geht noch

Toffi-Fee In reply to Nichii [2009-03-07 10:32:04 +0000 UTC]

T__T ja, da kann man ja auch fast nicht NICHT heulen...
ich kenn den Manga gar nicht so weit, obwohl ich Kenshin immer mochte. Waren zu viele Bände = Platzproblem.
Ich hab aber sogar noch Mangas auf Französisch von Kenshin XD Battosai l'assassin... *g*

You like to see Kenshin suffer
I'd rather call you a sadist then, hehe!

Yeah...I don't know either. Kaoru looks weird too. But Saito and Sano look kick ass!
Lol, have you seen the huge brain dude?!

Beautiful! I love the colors and the texture. It looks like a painting, but with the polish of digital coloring. And the details are wonderful. I love the plum tree.

Now I want to watch more Kenshin.

Nichii In reply to thelunarfox [2009-02-25 13:57:22 +0000 UTC]

Yay, thank you!

It took me forever to get the lines and all clean

You should watch Kenshin! NOW!!!
Or better: Read the Manga, hehe

Ohhh this is neat! ^_^ I really like it a lot!! 8D

He has a new style for them? Why? Is there a new anime in the works XD

anyways, great job! I really adore this piece! He's got an awesome expression!

Nichii In reply to ChristianKitsune [2009-02-25 03:31:03 +0000 UTC]


Thank you so much!

Ah no. He just revamped his designs. Those pictures can be found in the Kenshin Kanzenban (I don't know it it's available outside of Japan though). Watsuki drew those according to his vision of them now.
So this would be Kenshin if he were to start drawing the Manga now.
There isn't going to be a new Anime, unfortunately!...I would love to see the Jinshû arc animated (other than in the OVAs)

nishi In reply to ??? [2009-02-25 03:20:23 +0000 UTC]

I like how grainy the picture is! :3
And I don't know him well enough old style or this style... I just thought his one ponytail split in two, but he has a totally new one? That's pretty neat!
And the colors are pretty, they look pretty much as I can remember... is the black cape new? (:
I think you did a nice job! Art is fun.

Nichii In reply to nishi [2009-02-25 03:25:51 +0000 UTC]

You're talkative today, aren't you?
Well, instead of one ponytail, he has two in the new design. Plus the scar runs across his nose and he gets to wear a cape and boots...
Ehehe, I don't even know if the cape is black. I just used whatever colors looked good to me
Muahahahaha

I'm talkative whenever! You're the one that's finally available to talk.
I thought the black boots looked different... does he normally wear sandals or something?
Haha, creative all the same. :3

Haha, well at least computers are warm enough to help with the process sometimes.
That sounds more like his time. (: Boots and cape seem more... European? Hehe.
It's fun to be passionate about something!
