I have got a Tala piece sketched, but it's far from finished. Maybe someday.
Thank you for commenting.

Neat! I found this while reading "Slave for You" and I must say that I'm impressed. How do you capture his character so nicely? I always seem to have problems when drawing fanart, that's why I tend to draw just original characters('cause my own fanarts come out so stinky, I avoid drawing Beyblade stuff for fear I'll just totally ruin them). Oh wells. I really do hope that you'll come around to drawing that other peice you've mentioned ^ ^

CucumberPickles: In response to your question, I am used to drawing him, I suppose. As I wrote to Butterfly-Chu previously, I find Kai too easy to draw. I have always considered him one of the easiest Beyblade characters to ''capture'', as you put it.
Avoiding drawing characters because you believe you won't get it right is a rather hopeless approach. If you have a good idea of how they look, and their general personalities, then all you need to do is practice drawing them, to get used to drawing them. Over time, you should start noticing improvements.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

If I ignore the fact that the tree is poor in branches (which is not a difficult task), this is really flawless.
Everything screams "essence".

Phoenix-Blaze In reply to Kai-V [2008-06-02 21:09:25 +0000 UTC]
I can't agree with the ''really flawless'' remark, because I see quite a number of things I could change. Although, compared to all my previous works, it obviously does have the least faults overall. But the moment I finished this, I already knew I could do better.
I spent very little time on the tree. From the brief story description I had to work with, I couldn't envisage a tree full of many branches anyway. That can be symbolic, I suppose.
Also, ''essence'' of what exactly, in your opinion?
Thanks for commenting.

The day I see this "better drawing" will probably be the day it will be possible to walk to the top of my head by taking forming stairs. Although, I am obviously not that old yet.
To me, there is a rock, but there is also a Rock. For example.

Phoenix-Blaze In reply to Kai-V [2008-06-11 22:03:07 +0000 UTC]
''Obviously not that old yet''. That depends on who is counting.
What, no expectation of seeing a better piece submitted here in the future? What if I proved you wrong. True, I will have even less free time to spend leisurely drawing, but I should, eventually, be able to create something that surpasses this. Even if it does take a longer while to complete.
And when I do finish it, I will make sure to post it here, way before you figure out how you can take those forming stairs to the top of your head.
I see what you meant about the ''essence'' thing, now.

Kai-V In reply to Phoenix-Blaze [2008-06-15 17:48:55 +0000 UTC]
Well, I am not, let's say, twenty-one years old yet, therefore I should be fine.
I expect the worst. Plus, if I expected to be surprised by an even better drawing, then I would have had plenty of time to explore the top of my head before I actually saw it.
Eyes should be kept, though.

Phoenix-Blaze In reply to Kai-V [2008-07-26 16:41:42 +0000 UTC]
I could have sworn that the number was twenty before. Do I see a pattern, here...
And, whatever. You are one to talk. I do not even want to think what state I will be in by the time /you/ upload a new and astonishing piece of work. I probably wouldn't even have a stable head left to climb to, or however that impossible example of yours goes.
Eyes should only be kept if you can see with them, remember.
I already have an idea for a better drawing. I guarantee that I will finish it before you can take those stairs, which everybody knows takes forever. And do not say you will take an elevator instead, that is cheating.

I hope you are not rotting below yet then.
Should I take off my sunglasses ...
How is climbing to the top of my head supposed to be difficult for me.

Phoenix-Blaze In reply to Kai-V [2008-07-28 16:39:35 +0000 UTC]
I knew the moment I posted that comment that you would upload a new piece of work shortly after. That's just your typical behaviour, again.
The sunglasses aren't the problem. But you know that already, don't you.
I'll answer your query with another; how is it supposed to be easy.

Why change a winning formula.
... Obviously this is my head. I can do everything I want with it ...

Phoenix-Blaze In reply to Kai-V [2008-07-30 18:02:47 +0000 UTC]
Actually, that has always been a losing formula.
And, no. It will take you forever no matter what you think.
Anyway, it can be argued that you have already seen a better drawing of Kai. Very recently, in fact. This is true if we specifically look at only the way he is drawn, in isolation of any backgrounds.
The better overall drawing that I have planned, which will include a more detailed background, will not feature Kai. You will no doubt be terribly disappointed to learn this.

I knooow I've fangirled over this already xD and you're sick of my worshipping it but it's just so AWESOME *______* it really does capture my scene perfectly, the very essence of it. So I feel utterly COMPELLED to express my love for this all over again. Nyaaah! I'm sure you won't mind me basically repeating myself as is the norm ((I'm sure I'll word what I've already said differently anyways)) xD; although words can't really describe just how much i ADORE this!
The backdrop PWNZ. It's absolutely lovely and it really DOES look like Kai is actually IN a Russian city with the buildings and all. Leave it to the expert neh? ^__^ The sky is ownage! And the snow both ground and falling is so purdy and soft and fluffy looking! Kai should totally let off some steam by makng a snow man! XDD Though it'd be totally inappropriate given the angsty context I do realise! The tree and rock are perfect too! They look better than what I had in mind. But the amazing backdrop and all, thats not even the thing that captures me most! There's just SOMETHING about his expression that just dunno, has feeling! You always draw Kai really gorgeous looking o___O;; did i tell you that? It looks like him from the anime but you've got this touch of your own personal art style that makes him look errrrm.....what's the right word? Really good? Nope not enough xD I KNOW. BEAUTIFUL! Yes that'd be it! *___* His eyes are mesmerizing just the way I describe them ((or try to xD)) in my fic! He really looks like he's feeling a whole mix of things ((anger, pain, emptiness and numbness)) so you've stayed true to the passage I gave you, lol as expected~
I LOVE his coat so much It is SO cool! *_____* I WANT ONE LIKE IT! I also really love how you've coloured it, I mean the entire colouring is top notch ((love how you did his hair and his face, he does looks older than G Rev here)) but on the coat it really stands out. I think colouring isn't the right word, I mean more how you've added the different darker colour tones to it. Really like the colours you selected for everything else, very Kai-like lol. I knew I was expecting the end result to look great but this is MORE than just great it's fabulous! I think it's the most fabulous thing you've ever created which makes sense since it's the most recent, but AMAZING how far you've come along with your art. I mean really you're one heck of a fast catcher on you xD And you use a mouse to do all this?! Isn't that liek uber crazy difficult?! How do you manage? Good grief, I can't imagine what you'd conjure up using one of those tablet pen thingies everyone else seems to favour xD; you should get one and see what you'd wizard up!
Wooow longest comment I've left so far on DA ((you should see the length of some of my reviews on FF.net xDD)) but it totally deserves more. I'm afraid you're rolling your eyes by this point though coz yeah I've reiterated myself enough now fo sure! xD Can I just end by thanking you ETERNALLY once again for this wonderful gift! I know you never do requests and I know you're busy with such significant things ahead x_____X;; that you made time for my lil insignificant request means so much and I'm so completely grateful! It's the first art I've received for my fic and it's an honor that you should be the one who provided it!
^_____________^ AND you plugged meh fic! Oh wow what a bonus! You didn't have to but I do appreciate it muchly xD
Thanks soooooooooooo much again for this K. You know you're totally AWESOME~

NovySparrow, tfg9390, korin-hizuki and yukikazuko: It is appreciated that you all took the time to leave comments.
Butterfly-Chu:
Regarding drawing and colouring by mouse, I am used to it now, so no, it's not difficult. I am not interested in purchasing a tablet for artwork. I do not need one.
To be honest, I didn't want you to choose Kai, simply because he is too easy for me to draw. Yet I knew you would select him, because really he is the main character in your story. Had time allowed it, I would have much rather drawn the original and more challenging request with him, Bryan, Ian, Tala and Spencer watching the house burning.
Anyway, as I already told you, this was no trouble. That doesn't include your incessant glorification of it though. But I suppose you ought to like it a lot; it was created based on your own story passage, after all.

Phoenix-Blaze In reply to Butterfly-Chu [2008-06-06 19:52:28 +0000 UTC]
No, I didn't need to practice that much.
It was your choice who you wanted drawn from your story. I told you that you could select any Beyblade character. Excluding Kai would have contradicted this, don't you think.
Since you asked for your so-called (and really moronic) argument to be crumbled and served back to you in pieces, here I go:
Yes, I really like Dranzer. No, I don't really like Kai's character. I am in fact neutral in my opinion of him. He can be very stupid, although I admit he has his moments (usually when he calls on Dranzer's power, so the glory isn't really all his anyway). I drew Kai this way because that is what his character's features look like. I can't just mess up his face and make him look weird. It wouldn't be an accurate realisation of the original character that my art is based on.
And regarding the favourites to comments ratio, many of my 'Watchers' are in fact keyboard mutes. They literally only 'watch' my work. Either they have always been silent or they stopped commenting after some time, and became just another useless username under my 'Recent Watchers' list. It does not bother me, to be honest. I prefer quality over quantity of comments, anyway.

That was the general meaning of my ''...'', yes, although not in those exact words of yours, obviously.
Stop going on about Kai's face/design. For someone who swears she isn't 'just' a Kai fangirl, you do a hell of a lot of gushing over his character; way more than Bryan, Spencer and Ian, for example.
I am not being biased. Kai couldn't summon all those glorious flames without Dranzer.
