My first solo picture of Ryu that I've had commissioned in quite a while, and I have to say I really like it. For those who don't know and I'm assuming that would be quite a few, Ryu is actually a demonic tiger, with a flare for fire (hah, puns~) and LIGHTNING. This was drawn by  mistystriker who did a great job, and also I would like to say was fantastic to work with.

I'm a little personal about the picture as generally Ryu might be more muscular in his demon form and his smile looks less menacing and more silly in this picture than it probably should, but the attention to detail is fabulous, the effects are amazing, and the way Misty did the design on his weapon... I just love everything about that. And she added the touch of his pattern to his wings that I really wouldn't have thought of, and I think it adds a level of intricacy to his form that looks really cool! All In all, I really like this, and I hope you guys do too! Give the artist some love, she did awesome! :)
