Chibi Shiro. I'm planning to do a colour version tomorrow.

X-cellent again, Arachne, and I LOVE his lil' angry face. That's Shiro, alright. After it's colored, should put it together with Dani's, for an X-chibi version of:

[Arachne]

Ha ha! Thank you, and good point. Not sure it would work, though, I'm using Shiro as a guinea pig for some watercolour pencil experiments.

[Heroine Addict]

Ooh, cool! That's interesting & different, can't wait to check it out. I like how he looks without the mask, and LOVE the longer, shaggy hair you gave him.

[Arachne]

Yeah, his hair has been too uptight for too long, IMO.

Do you still think he'd be a good match for Dani Moonstar? I kinda warming to the idea, no pun intended.

The picture turned out pretty well, although the skin tones were tricky. He looks like he's throwing a temper tantrum. Will scan tomorrow.

[Arachne]

Yay, actually got it scanned when I said I would.

Aw damn, Arachne, that's AWESOME - I LOVE it! He's just ADORABLE, and you've captured his ornery disposition perfectly. Your coloring really took it to the neXt level, and brought it to life. The hair & eyes, they POP! WONDERFUL job, I'm impressed!

Ya know, I just remembered, in the original animated series he was featured without a mask. It was during the Genosha episode:

You're right, and I WANT him with longer hair, now.

Yes, I still think him & Dani would make for a fiery & compelling couple, pun intended.

It sure did, and I can tell you took some time with it. And Shiro gettin' all huffy is one of his hallmarks, so he's right in character.

Aww, thank you.

That's a good look for him. And his hair is a bit longer, there.

They do both have a strong sense of honour. It could work, if they didn't try and kill each other (and if they were actually regulars in a book.)

Yeah, I felt it was in character, too, it just came off more extreme than I intended. That's better than the other way around, though.

[Heroine Addict]

You're welcome, and mos def, that was my fave pic too.

The tension of Dani & Shiro gettin' together would indeed be palpable, a real nail-biter, no doubt. Think there could be some nice, tender moments, as well, with maybe even a few self-revelations coming to light.

I think his eXpression is just right, the boy's intense, and FIERCE!
