Description I'm pretty sure Rai uses the Brazilian fighting style called "Capoeira." It's fighting disguised in the style of a dance. I could go off and explain why it's disguised as a dance, but you can just search it up if you feel so inclined.

This didn't turn out how I originally envisioned it, but I'm still pretty happy with it. I was gonna do something awesome with the background but it just didn't happen. But at least I did a background. Isn't that amazing? I made grass... and clouds...
As I was drawing this, my mom and brother asked, "What is he doing?" and I'm thinking, "That's not what you're supposed to say!"

Really quick, his clothes are my interpretation of the Xiaolin Dragon robes. I've drawn them before: fav.me/d5142wh

It's really cool style. All the fancy moves have an actual purpose too. :3 Which one? I don't remember.

well... it hasn't been mentioned in a bio. And, honestly... I think it would be spoilers. Just wait and see. I'm actually really close to finishing a chapter!

Right, right. No wonder I didn't know then. Yay! I can't wait to read it.

Oh, certainly. They were great!

oh yay! X3 I was hoping they were. I wasn't sure the eye artwork would be liked as much

The characters look good and the colors are nice. The eyes probably weren't enjoyed as much, but knowing what options you gave yourself is interesting. If anything, it's nice to look back on what you made anyway.

Yeah... it was a really fun process. My sister helped me try to pick which one looked the best, the others afterward were just a creative spark. Do you think the time space eye looks... soul eater enough? I try to give it that soul eater flare to make it look a bit more canon.

I'm satisfied with your choice.

Yeah, the time space eye definitely looks like it belongs. When I saw the example you gave by putting it on Free, it took me awhile to realize it wasn't really his.

Amazing how even the most elegant moves can be used to knock someone's block off.

True, true. Discipline and grace make the glorious art of butt-kicking beautiful. Not sure what I just said, but ooookay.

I too believe Rai practices capoeira

Really nicely done I love the details on the clothing and Rai's expression

It's only a logical headcanon. He makes plenty of moves that resemble capoeira throughout the show, there's one certain move in the opening theme that seems to back up the belief.


Thanks a bunch! Details are often fairly difficult for me to make, so I'm glad I managed to do them well this time.

First off, HEADCANON ACCEPTED. Secondly, great job with the pose! The movement is really evident, especially with the way his clothes are moving. Nice job! ^^

Thanks a ton! I had a reference for the pose, because it's not really an easy one to do, but who says that's illegal? Anyway, I really appreciate the feedback, thanks again.

Reference is always good for action poses. :3 You're very welcome~

That they are.Β Β Eventually, I'd like to get a good action pose without a reference. But, for now, references are a giant help.Β

X3 I'd love to meet the person who doesn't need them. Maybe they could give me a few good pointers.
