Oh sweet! Beautiful! What a gorgeous costume! :D

thanks much.
The other studies were an attempt to find the right design for the fierce deity modus of Ivan Typhlosions character.
This is just my own version of his character with own design ideas.

You're welcome! :D That's awesome!

He's not wrong! Everything preceding this was to find the right design!

I unfortunately was too enamored to find a missing detail and well...its my fault entirely. I truly was enamored...rather...enraptured way too much in his pictures.

He missed the furband that was supposed to be tied to the sash! But then I remembered "wait...he uses traditional techniques...I don't think he owns those smearing pens or tortillions either..." and I did point it out to him, but I think I overwhelmed him with a block of text...probably squishing that into mush and no longer registers now. Also my fault! But I don't know how integral he'd find it in his rendition of the final form!

Eternal....I love the shit out of this design.

But I am feeling very tempted to leave this in your gallery so you have some exclusivity to it.
If you truly feel good and proud about this rendition, I'd rather you have it more than me. Because the fact is: This is still your rendition!
I'd happily post this in my gallery, but you've already drawn me enough to where I'd happily leave you with an exclusive of your own. I wanna feel like something of mine is your's, because you did quite alot for me already. And to be fair, these drawings are very much your's as they are mine!
Its your materials and effort that make these as beautiful as possible.

But I wanna know how you feel about this regardless!

If you like the result, then go for it and post it right away in your gallery. The character himself is yours to beginn with.

As said, I kept the most important features and altered some minor details to a style more suiting for my kind of story telling.

That may be true, but it is also now your rendition and you deserve to have some form of me that you feel satisfied with!

Hm...ya know what? I want you to have this in your gallery, its your rendition, you should feel proud or happy, this would in turn also allow you to draw this version of the Typh anytime you'd want or like. Though I know you won't because I kinda don't fit your tastes until...e-er....in bondage with my kimono taken away from me...since you like a bare chest. And there is no better bare chests than that of incredibly powerful Martial Artists... >//////.

Those character and costume designs for Ivan-Typhlosian's characters have really been very beautiful and elegant, particularly this one and with the grayscale you can really appreciate all the intricacies of the shading and details.

Thanks much. This adding of digital greyscale was an experiment, now the result looks like from a manga panel^^

T-Thanks, its means alot to hear that, and I hope it means alot to Eternal as well, I feel it may not mean alot to Eternal as it does me, but I do hope it means quite alot by his definition or feelings.

Very interesting design

thanks
