Ritual Dance - Sword

Back in the Sword of Light series, but not the same series in the story... Yeah. This is the ritual attire series (haven't really found a name for the other one... it's probably combat attire).

The boy (yes boy, he's 13-14 at most) in the image is Aquean the Knight, Ikeda's youngest brother. First time I drew him in a concept pic was in 2005: [link] I looked at the image and was pretty happy, haha. I feel like I've made some progress, yay!

No cell-shading in this image, it's all brush tool, I think. Used the trusty Pen tool for most of the lineart. The sketch was really old, like a year or older, but I like how it was really dynamic compared to some of my other drawings.

I think it's the best thing I cooked up O.O
