Description
This is Katana. He likes to wear black leather and look cool. He's also not gay, unlike so many anime-styled bishounen these days. ^_~I've drawn him before...but he's the main character in Jiro-Jiro Minai , so it's only natural that he should get lots of pencil time, right? Go check out the comic if you're so inclined. Might I stress though, that even though Katana himself is not gay, a good many of the people he associates with are. So if that sort of thing bothers you, don't click the link . Or do. Your choice. Just don't say I didn't warn you. w00t.
**Rambling induced by Starbucks coffee and other sugary substances. Weirdness on the part of the artist is genetic. Materials were various markers, pens, pencils, a 4-day weekend, and sleep deprivation.**

Gah. Makes me so sad, this.
I can only request this, but; out of the goodness of your heart, making a few more drawings of this guy would greatly please me.
He's the perfect replica of what I thought my character Linz to look like.
Honestly.
With your permission, if some appear, I'd like to use this character for a few icons for my own character.

Oh, also, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to use this picture for an icon on a chat I go to, but don't worry because NO ONE makes their own icons there, so they won't think it's mine.

Hey, good lookin' guys don't have to be gay! I really love his look...I'm not usually one for guys with mohawks, but dayam! He really makes them look hot. I love the combination of pen, inks and minimal colour...This just embodies so much style and a unique look, I really am in a state of envy. Seriously, I envy anyone that can do something like this...just amazing. Utterly.

Hi hi Jen my loves,
You know what i was thinking? i think we should take our two handsome and sexy not gay bishounen and draw them together in some sort of an art trade, just to drive any fangirls we may be acquiring crazy. you know you draw one i draw one? i mean i love Katana to pieces, and you love the Doc, so hey it might be fun for us to draw our two yellow-eyed boys implying something untrue. eh?

Well, he looks very cool. And sexy. Damn sexy punk boys. Damn sexy straight punk boys.
Anyway, I love the little details like the design on his face, and his...bajoran earing. THe linky-chainy thing.
*hugs Katana's mohawk*

i do not like his design... honestly i think its absolute crap trying to capitolize on the -goth- culture...which incidently.. is a also crap..... BUT... your rendition of this and implimentation of pose and actual skill is top notch.... so.. your work is good..... this ofcourse assumes you didn't design him... which i don't think you did... but if you did.. or are a member of the -goth-s... then... sorry for insulting you... otherwise... screw the -goth- culture... cause it isn't half as cool as the real goths... those being the raping pilleging barbarian goths...of olden times...... since -goth-s are just trying to be different by being the same...or trying to be the same as those who want to be different....either way.. its all the same....wow....that was convoluted

Actually I'm a bit insulted. I'm Goth but I very rarely change out of my pink and purple pajamas, wear my chains and leather anymore, and I like music like Nsync and Eminem. Not all Goths today are the same, but yes, Goth has lost its original meaning in today's society.

really? How about 3 years ago when I wrote that?

Ha...have you by any chance seen THIS yet? If not, I think you'll appreciate it.
The character design actually is mine, and I do not label myself a member of the goth subculture...but I'm not insulted at all. I understand where you're coming from. Half the world has decided it's cool to be "goth" or "punk" or whatever, so everyone's jumping on the bandwagon, and you're correct: They're trying to be different by being the same as everyone else.
I have no idea if you're even going to read this next part, but I'll put it out anyway--
In defense of my character, I designed him before the "goth" look started going mainstream. He's a bounty hunter in the comic, so I initially designed him with more of a mercenary image in mind. Later on as his character developed, my co-authors and I started leaning toward a more bondage/s&m look (hence the chains and leather--for him, this is quite a modest outfit). Also, his girlfriend in the comic is a super-conservative little Roman Catholic girl, so his appearance became something that helped drive the plot rather than a nod to any particular subculture. Pity for us that his look became cool a few years later, and now (especially since the comic has only just started to get off the ground) Jiro-Jiro Minai looks like it's jumping right onto the bandwagon along with all the little teeny-boppers. Oh well, live and learn, I suppose.
Anyhow, thanks for your comments, however convoluted, and I hope you made it all the way through this reply...
