Description EDIT: added some additional info about highlight placement, as well as knowing when to change the highlight position.

A request from tumblr.   I've had multiple people ask me for help and advice on Xiaolin style eyes, so here's a tutorial for the variations in each series.  XS on the left, XC on the right.  The bottom row is a bit of extra info for those who are a bit more advanced.  Everything here is based on observation of the animation and artwork, or gleaned from my own experiences, and is by no means an 'official style guide' for others to adhere to.

Let me know if anything is unclear, confusing, misspelled, or otherwise amiss!

Yeah, I need to add one additional bit of info still, but so far people are really taking a liking to it.    I couldn't be happier!
Do you know of any groups I could submit the tutorial to?  That way more people could get helped by it.

I'd personally just submit it to any of the Xiaolin Showdown groups! ^-^ There are quite a few so, I think that'd really help out if you put them in there! That way if someone isn't in a particular group they'll see it in the other group.

Okay.  Are there any that you recommend off the top of your head?  I'm still very new to the whole "groups" thing, despite being a deviant for several years.

I can't submit to most of those.    The two that I can submit to have already received my submission.  So everything except XSFans and XiaolinShowdownRocks.

YAY!! That's awesome! I hope they approve you swiftly! It took me a try or two for a couple of them just because I think they were busy.

You're welcome.    I know it will help a lot of emerging fan artists to mimic or understand the style.  The real thanks should go to the others who I had to explain this to in the past, unfortunately I can't remember all their usernames. 

The only question now is WHAT NEXT?

ohh yeah haha. well its gonna help me a lot, thats for sure! 

next, if youre planning to do more, id suggest backgrounds and lineart techniques that emulate the shows style. im not very good at those and id love to see a tutorial! but of course its your choice.

CharactersByChaos In reply to shokujupiterr [2016-11-19 06:55:21 +0000 UTC]

I actually have tutorial requests on Patreon, and someone has already suggested both of those topics.    Unfortunately I haven't yet wrapped my mind around how to easily and concisely explain either.  Though backgrounds will likely be one of the last topics that gets covered since there are a lot of advanced techniques involved in creating one.  I hope that answers all your questions and concerns.  Regardless, tutorial requests are always open!
