Oh goood I finished this ages ago, but forgot to upload sorryyy!!
//well my bf is visiting me for the holidays so I was a bit distracted all this time haha ´7` I'll get back to replying in the following days, as well as make a journal to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and presents! And talk about some more things too :3 

But back to the drawing now! 

Kouji here is an assassin who uses twin daggers. He has them sheathed in a sheath in his back usually, but in order not to hide those nice back muscles, I left the rest out ahem Y///Y 
Kouji is also associated with the wind and shadows, especially black feathers, that's why I added a windy night as the bg, and black feathers all around him //I really love it when characters disappear into nothing and in a veil of dark mist and black feathers *q* 

Also added the kounais, since the bishie here is a ninja assassin
As for the shape of the background, Kiro suggested to use a diamond shape. I don't get to do these often but I think it worked well with the composition! It gives the picture a more masculine feel?? Or definitely a more "strong" one, compared to a circle shaped bg, in my opinion.  
 
In general, this drawing was really fun to work on and actually very fast as well! Had to change a few things in the end, but the overall working time was faster than I usually take //which I'm very happy about! Maybe I got faster haha, or maybe the abs and muscles were motivating me haha XD

As for the colors, I had great struggle and at the same time incredible fun combining orange and blue But i think I learned something out of it! I hope it looks ok to you guys as well ;7;

Media  Painttool Sai | Photoshop | Wacom Bamboo
Time  ~30 hours
Trivia: I was listening to TED talks while drawing this omg really fun and educational! Give it a go! They talk about many different subjects and it's a good way to see how presentations are being held in various ways and styles.

Thanks again so much, Sakon! It was really fun working with you and seeing your creative process behind your work!
Already gushed to you enough about how much I love your colouring, but seriously, every little detail is so spot-on! You portrayed him perfectly, from the expression and pose, to the background elements. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed working on it and even learned something new along the way, haha.
I cannot thank you enough! You're awesome!

So much orange! I love it, orange is my favorite color.
Silly me, I thought the scarf was hair for a second and I was like "wow that is a long ponytail." But it's  a scarf.
I like the diamond peep-hole background against the white. It's a unique feature that I do not see very often.
Although you struggled with the blue and orange, I am pretty sure they are complimentary colors eventually so they go together really well
