Description Greyscale version of
I like it in Greyscale better XD

Here is Lord Noriyuki, Ruler of the Geishu provinces and, I think it's safe to call him a friend of Usagi's (although the friendship is a little formal considering his sovereignty.)

I'm very fond of Noriyuki He's kinda like the Dakota Fanning of the UY universe. As with all the characters, his age isn't pinned down (as far as I know anyway) but I can't imagine him being older than 12. But he's calm, level-headed and very wise.

However he never comes across as chilly or unapproachable and remains a very warm character. I find that, for whatever reason, there is still a wall constructed around him making it between difficult and impossible to reach in to who he really is as a person (I know I sure haven't been able to figure out just who he really is behind his guard) but I see this as something dictated by tradition and propriety regarding his position and doesn't have anything to do with the person himself.

I find myself often forgetting that, when the chips are down, Noriyuki is as a fact still a child. But maybe that's what makes him so likable. who knows.

They really didn't do him justice in the TMNT episode he was in, demoting him to simply a 'damsel in distress' XDD

I find Noriyuki's design ridiculously attractive You can't beat those strong black and white markings. I've been wanting to draw him for a while now but never knew what I wanted to draw him doing. In the end I settled for drawing him doing.. ..NOTHING 8DD Huzzah!! .... sorry about that XD;; if I draw him again I promise it'll be more interesting.

It was fun to play with how I would draw his face since I knew I couldn't draw it the same shape as the way I draw Usagi's.

|D erm... .anyway. here he is 8D
....


Origami texture, Japanese door thingy and plant aren't mine XD they're all found here on dA but I'm not sure where.

very nice expression! his kimono has a pretty simple, yet, cultured design. like his topknot the best! you did pretty well on this along with his pose. looks kinda like hes talking to someone casually or giving advice.

Having looked at both, I'm hardpressed to decide which I like better, if I even like either better! They both have elements that are extremely good, of which my brain is currently unable to put words to. >.<

XDD Well thank you very much! I like the greyscale one just a little bit better, but I couldn't bring myself around to not uploading the coloured version too because, as you said, they've both got things going for them

They're both great but the greyscale has a certain added charm to it... Yes, definitely prefer the greyscale.

Lord Noiyuki is awesome but I wouldn't want to meet him, I work with kids his age in Daycare and I'm a hugger, it wouldn't be pretty. *flees Tomoe Amae*

XDD Tomoe would be on our ass so fast it wouldn't even be true. Which is a pity because Noriyuki looks very cuddly to me.

Anyway thank you very much, I'm very glad people aren't finding the greyscale one boring X3

Both are brilliant! I believe this one stands out because of his black and white markings being really vivid with it all greyscaled. That, with the hints of colour left by the lines and his lovely eyes, it does a much better job than something completely in black and white, I'd say.

As onionhead would say

Thank you very much! I'm really glad you like it X3 and I'm very happy to hear you agree with me about the greyscale having something special to it 8'D

I had a hard time deciding which one I liked the best, so I faved both.

The first one I like because of the warmth it gives off. (sorry for commenting that here), but I like this one because it also gives off warmth... but more from the eyes, and not just everything. And the fact that it's not completely black&white. <3

But aww, he fits the damsel in distress part so well! D8 (XD)

XDD Hey I'm not complaining at all I couldn't decide which one to upload so I just uploaded both!

Anyway, I'm really glad you like both versions X3 and I don't mind you commenting that here.

XDD and yes he does I have no problem with him needing saving, but I wish they showed some of his smarts as well.
