Best Friends = Best Rivalry

Goodness this looks freaking epic Taki ;_; !!...

Holy moly… I simply adore the whole look of the environment you went for, as well as the composition of the three characters together!

This is such a BOSS surprise! I honestly have no idea how I am going to ever repay you for all those epic drawings you made of Shinri and Daniel, I’m starting to feel guilty ;u; but I’m going to solve that one day, mark my words ; D

But back to the drawing!
You are making huge steps in your drawings skillwise! I can see a lot of improvement in how you blend in characters with the background, the compositions/perspective choices but also the feeling for light and shadows! You should be hella proud of yourself for your latest drawings with backgrounds imo ;u;

Takumi looks super serious here, it’s like you really ask if he has good or bad intentions. Whatever of the two it may be, his expression would make every spectator shudder ;u;.. That’s what I call a deep serious look, right there xD The way he seems to have just swung the sword over his back gives his pose a lot of movement, I love that as well <3

And I am grinning like crazy for Daniel, I somehow really love his pose and how he seems to be mocking or he seems to be his his own world/lost his mind which is very accurate. Since in that form… he hardly is his old self anymore (,:  I absolutely love the dynamism in his pose as well, how he turns mid-air and those acrobatics with the wings <3 !! I haven’t tried out a pose yet like that for him but it looks like a great challenge to tackle myself one day xD That super toothy grin and those sharp canines of his here… and I can really see how your style is really pushing through here with the sharp narrow muzzles and pointy ears <3

Shinri looks like he is anticipating Takumi’s intentions. He seems neither startled or happy to see him haha. Shinri’s been always one to kind of wait what someone’s intentions are before jumping into action. I think you portrayed that body language very well here if that was your intention!

And last but not least, the background! I love the glitch-like black formations on the left side of Takumi, and the rock formations you made on the right ;u; It looks like a very interesting place, also something I could definitely see around in Daniel’s world as it looks so fantasy-like c: And I also like the black formation with the blue energy up in the sky! I think that’s where Takumi made his entrance from?

I could go on for hours xD This is just too epic!!
I am going to repay you someday haha, just have to find an idea first for the drawing ;u;..

I hope you are doing alright, and that your time away gave you the rest you needed as well <3

Your friend and rival / frenemy ;,D
