Description There was one quality Juhyou Tsukai Touya had that made him different from just about every other demon, human, and all those in between. And it wasn't his skill as a shinobi, his complete power over ice, or even his status as one of the highest-ranking shinobi in existence.

It was his eyes.

Things had changed since the Dark Tournament, he couldn't deny that. The ice master that had once been famous for being heartless...actually had friends now, even a family.

But still, although everyone knew Touya had changed, there was one thing about him that would almost never change; his eyes. Only the most sincere smile--a shocking rarity from him--would dare cross his entire expression to the crystal blue eyes often described as soulless.

Everything else was just...lost in translation.

Okay, now that I've gotten that out of my system...all I really need to say is that I referenced the pose off of a Hitsugaya fanart I saw somewhere. xP Yes, Hitsugaya again. Whatever.

It snowed a little this morning...I always feel like drawing Touya more in the winter.

Music: "Yami ni Hikaru"--Yasunori Masamoto

EDIT: My hand must have slipped when I was inking this...you can hardly tell he's smirking juuuust a little. x_X

I know I'm way too late in commenting, but I thought I might as well.

I liked how the description went, even though I never saw Touya as heartless. He actually showed the most compassion over Gama's death, which was shown even more when he was fighting with the Ice Sword. (and the only one who stood up to Reisho's scumbag ways. *glomps for Kuwabara* He deserved that after what Reisho did to his injured teammate)

He looks amazing here, and nice touch with the necklace. My headcanon-Touya always has a necklace. (yippee! I heart my Touya necklaces, one of which I am wearing right now)

Ne, I love the song, too. One of my very favorite songs in general.

Awesome. may I say that he looks better than he does in the series? Of course, that may be because he slightly resembles Hitsgaya, as one person pointed out, but it's a great look for him. And the text you wrote in the notes was lurvly.

>o It was a freakin' blizzard here that one night it snowed! In fact, when I went to my write-in in Mayfield, not any more than a half hour away, they had snow STILL on the ground. @@;; Luckily none stayed on the ground here.

... Oh. x3 *steals and photoshops*

When it was snowing, everyone in my TV Production class was filled with excitement. My teacher then complaned that it was snowing too soon. Oh, well...

Winter could never be a more perfect time to draw Touya!

It was only snowing a tiny bit, early in the morning.

And I seem to always go into a phase of depressed-angsty-Touya in winter. xD
