Artist's Comments

Here he is, Nyorune the god of wind! Took me entirely too long to do, but it's done, I hope. I'm not sure what Ronin will think of the sword, swirly things and the fact that his eyes are closed. Also, i wanted to make the symbol black, but then you couldn't see his hair, so I had to make it that really dark purple. Hope that's cool.

Nyorune: High atop the mountains which create a schism in the continent from west to east lives the Wise King of the Winds: Nyorune. Despite acting as king to this central area, he is rarely seen sitting on his throne for any great length of time, choosing instead to travel between the other kingdoms and soar through the skies and experience the freedom of the open air. When he actually does choose to sit and rule over his kingdom he manages to do very much while saying very little. He leaves many things unspoken but makes everything understood to those who are meant to understand. In spite of his diminutive size and passive element he has been shown to display an impressive amount of power when it is required of him.

Very cool love. I think he came out nicely. I really love his vest/jacket. And I agree that the lines look better now that you fixed them up.

:D

cool. Nothing is more upsetting than to finish a picture and it was no fun to draw.

Well, there he is, after all this time.

I'd say this is a fair representation of what amounts to the resident ninja of my story. You do well to close off his outfit for the mountain cold, but still allow him a bit of billowing to his garment.

Don't worry about the closed eyes. It just adds that bit of mystique.

I really like all the swirls and such on the billowing portion. Just fits with his style. And being tied off with the belt, which also blows in the wind, is great.

The long, flowing, and wild hair was not something I had originally anticipated with this character, but in retrospect, I need something like that to help in the separation of identies. The bushido ponytail will do nicely for him.

Not sure what you were thinking was gonna be wrong with the sword. It's not that it's too short, since if anyone's gonna need to fight up close and personal, it's this guy. Maybe it's that I originally mentioned a sheathe, but that's just part of the mythos of the katana and seemed like a necessity at the time. Besides, I think I see something in the back of his belt, anyway, so it is there.

In all, I like it, and I'll have fun putting all these details into the story.

yeah, that was supposed to be his sheath on the side there >.> I dunno, I couldn't figure a way to show it well in this pose, or any pose that wasn't from the side for that matter. I was just talking about the little swirlies on his sword, that's all.

Glad you like it!

indeed. That's what sucks about art classes, sometimes.
