Description **For god sakes, FULL VIEW!!**

Before I talk about this piece in any detail, I must tell you a smidgen about myself.
I, am a self depricating person, Ergo, I like to doubt myself and my skill at every turn. In doing so, I sometimes don't think I can accomplish levels of detail and awesomeness that others have before me. With that said, I am also a realism guy, and even though I jump at the chance to watch anime and other epic animated cell-shadery's (One Piece ZOMG <333), I rarely if not ever draw in that style, at all. Why talk about my style? Because I extremely contradicted it with this masterpiece of course!! I guess you could say I'm trying to diversify my skills, and I can see I'm getting better at it. ^^

With that said, time to talk about the piece.

Here it is, a bit of fanart for my anthro artist/flash animator friend Ryanide. These are in fact his two characters Lee and Chance, who may look a little familiar.. ^^

[link]

Heheheh.. To tell you the truth, it was that animation that reeled me into dA, and I guess you could say Ryanide was actually a pretty big factor for me being here! And it was mildly his fault that I became so darn interested it drawing anthro.. but that's a different story

Well enough about me. Lee and Chance are two of Ryanides characters in Rave battle, who are the only two who he actually animated so far (and by far my favorite). You can learn more about them by this [link] (I can only hope that he may eventually continue working on it, cause University currently acts as a bigass monkey wrench in his animating and music making).

As for what's going on in the picture, let me explain a little. Lee was taking a break to eat ramen in his gym, when Chance runs in clutching some official(maybe even classified O__o) but tattered papers. He looks to have taken a serious beating, and slides on the wood floor to show Lee what he has. Right here is where I'm not very certain but it has something to do with Rave Battle, and is obviously extremely important if Chance had to fight his way to get these papers. It could be about last year's champion, I'm just not sure. Makin up my own part of the story I guess Lee is smiling probably because of the information he has received, and he wants to see what happened to the other guy. That's when Chance says that the guy he fought for these somehow important documents before has followed him. Exhausted and beaten, Chance faints. Lee stares in shock at his unconcious brotheren. "Who could have done this?" he wonders alarmingly. "Chance is a Sheozuni (Sheozu is a mysterious ninjitsu-like martial art practised exclusively by squirrels.. I didn't make that up <3), he couldn't be defeated 'that' easily". Just then, he notices Chance left the sliding door open, and the scorching hot sun was impeding on the moderate A/C of the gym. He gets up and walks to the open door. Suddenly, Lee's keen eyes notice a dark figure of a wolf walking smoothly and silently out of the shadows of the trees. The subtle glint of brass knuckles could be seen on his hands. It was him.

Heheheh.. the rest would be up to Ryanide.. not me, he's the storyteller XD That is if he would accept this part of the story. Man, I love beating the crap out of chracters I love! Just so everyone knows, Chance is no wimp, and fought the best he could while still trying to evade said persuer and get back to Lee, and he obviously got beat up in that time. Who is that guy who beat him up anyways? Is he also a master of martial arts? I don't know myself. Did I just make up a new character for rave battle? heheh.. ..maybe.

I'm allowing for download, only because the amount of detail in the original is amazing.. and I want this cool cat (pun mildly intended XD) to use his mad skills to eventually color it if he wants to ^^ Me no have tablet, otherwise I would've done it myself! lol

(UPDATE: I will color this myself. I recently ordered a 6x8 wacom intuos3 tablet, (FINALLY) and I think I could do this just about as well as Ryanide could. Planning on making it an awesome 1280 x 768 background with sweet colors and wood grain effects.. not to mention epic god rays <3)

~~
This whole drawing was done over 3 and a half days equivelent of work over about 5 days, with a 0.7mm technical pencil on a Strathmore 11"X14" sketchbook.
Thanks for reading, and please fav ^^

In case anyone wants to know, that IS a big plump chibi airplane flying in the sky.. I wanted to stick with the style of the world XD

Also, there's a couple odes to Ryanide in this piece too, and they're not hard to spot! lol
Fly dunny roll, BE FREEEE!!


Final Thoughts: Mattsta Hilton's anthro chibiness has spread.. and I think I've just caught it <3

Yeah, i kno, newgrounds rocks. But still a flying (bunny?) doll in 2nd??? No way. Haven;t you heard? It's Penguins!!! Haven't you seen how many video games, movies and cartoons their in? THEY are the ones taking over!
P.S. Sometime in the future, i want to get a peguin on every major page, or a least a huge collab with a small penguin visiting authors' different worlds.

Hahaha.. it's a flying "dunny roll". AKA.. toilet paper with wings. Dunny is the Australian term for crapper XD ..and roll, is well, a roll. Example --> [link] lol

You could easily say crapper roll, but it doesn't sound very polite <3

lol, penguins ^^ I dunno about that one, you'd have your work cut out for you.

heh, don't be jealous man! ^^ I've seen your gallery, you got some mad skillz yourself <3

You get me anywheres NEAR a .07mm technical pencil.. and *POOF* ..super detailed masterpiece. Haha.. I'm just kidding. It took time and patience to make this what it is.. and a crapload of sweet silence too lol. I usually do my best drawings around 2-3am, when all is hush. That was when I started this drawing btw.. but I obviously continued into the daylight. I'm no vampire ^^

Ryanide [2008-03-16 02:59:17 +0000 UTC]

Wow, thank you very much. I guess I did draw these two mucking around with papers in the group sketch for no real reason, so it should end up having some significance to the storyline.

I love the shading and the background in this, it's very nice to look at. And thank you for the lovely fan art, it's always nice to get gifts. XD

Makes me want to draw more Rave Battle characters, but I'm working on Two Heroes exclusively at the moment. I promised myself I would. lol.

As for the wolf you introduced...it could very well be Juno, who's the only wolf character in Rave Battle so far and conveniently a villain. It doesn't seem TOO out of character to have him using brass knuckles either.

Aveoxus In reply to Ryanide [2008-03-16 04:32:59 +0000 UTC]

Haha! You're very welcome man!! ^^ Yeah, I kinda put two and two together when Chance had those papers in the character lineup.. It seemed like a part of the story that was yet to be told.. and well, Needed to be told <3

What was funny about this entire thing, is that I just randomly drew Lee's head where you see it now, and I'm like, "I think he needs a body lol". And I went from there XD If you notice, every pespective line leads to the bad guy's/Juno's left hand in the clearing of the forest. I thought it was a nice touch, cause it actually draws the viewer further into the picture. ^^

To tell you the truth, it was an accident that I beat the crap out of Chance. lol It was one stray line that made him look like he got cut.. so, I thought.. Heay!.. what if he got beat up by someone when trying to take these papers?!" And the rest was history. Heheheh... Hope I'm not weird if I think he looks awesome like that It matches his namesake after all, which is another reason why I did it.

Yeah.. it's ok, you can always go back to Rave Battle later. A promise is a promise after all!
Plus I think you got a good thing going there with Two Heroes. Cause, Two heroes are a crapload easier to animate than a couple dozen ^^ You also seem to have a much more develpoed plot on Two Heroes anyways. It's just that Rave Battle somehow felt, nastalgic to me.. ..plus it's all about music and fighting XD

Juno eh? Cool. I didn't really want to make a character where there already was one that fit the bill ^^ When I was drawing him in the background, I initially drew him with a silenced pistol like he was a hitman.. but I figured that he may want to finish him off with his bare hands.. um, ish. So I erased it. He never fired a shot, but you never know. That sneaky bugger could still have it on him..

Thank ya kindly for the fav too. It's not often I get some of my stuff seriously looked at, so thanks!!

In other news. Just yesterday, I ordered a 6x8 wacom intuos3. I'm so HAAAAPPY!!!!!1
I'm probably going to color this picture and make it backgrond sized ^^ It'll look three times as good as this I'm sure with color and all the lighting effects!! Expecially with my new toy <3333

..when it comes -__- Come onNNN... FEDEX!! lol
