Ibuki Makoto DS

This piece was originally going to be my 1 000 000 hit piece. I changed my mind as my wife suggested something i hadn't thought of and that is to do an original character rather than a license property (sounds so cold when you say it that way)

I thought she was right, so i will dub this piece as the first art piece done in my new Studio.

Was going for a more light and airy approach here, but again the pencils make it a bit gritty keeping it from looking to synthetic, something i have been straying away from as of late.

The original pencil drawing of this piece is in the hands of one of my more avid collectors 'biggestsonicfan' here on dA. He actually had been bringing me neat and rare things to the cons and just gifting them to me. Well that could not go unrewarded, so i spent a good part of time at SDCC putting this together for him.

I hope he won't feel bad that this wont be the 1 million hit piece, but in my heart of hearts I know that i should do something of my own character for once.

I feel like i am always pumping Capcom stuff, though it is my job, and I genuinely love these characters, but i have my own ideas and story as well.

SO hurry up and get me to a million so i can post something you havent seen before by way of characters! Homebaked ideas FTW.

Sorry Saejin, I wrote too much! See here to understand why : [link]
