Description ****************01/06/2018****************

ANIME:
 Legendz: Tale of the Dragon Kings~ 
CHARACTERS: OC Hadyn & Greedo~ 

***************************************************************

You know what I love? Not having internet! Thanks, Service Provider! At least you're back now~

W00T!! After many hours of attempting even more different styles, I finally finished this!! Even more Legendz fanart!!! Darn, it feels so good to be in this fandom again!! Not that I ever left it, but you know what I mean. We all find new tastes in other things, but this is a fandom I can always get back into any time!! Anyhoo, so what brought upon this little piece?? Well a few things in fact: 1. The Anime of course  2. Talking about it with a really good friend   3. I had received a beautiful image of this handsome fella of mine as a birthday gift from Cosmos-Kitty ! Thanks so much, Dawn!! (I'll get to those e-mails, I promise) So yeah, plain and simply, back into he fandom, discussions with good pal, inspired by b-day image... It really made me think a lot of Greedo and his new Hi no Saga I made for him. And just got to realizing how much I actually adore these two. Hadyn is without a doubt one of my best fleshed out OCs so far; I understand his personality and intentions and where I wish to take him in the story, and ever since I saw this one image of Dino, that this is heavily referenced from, floating around on the net (I cannot for the life of me find it again otherwise I'd have left a link) I've wanted to recreate the pic with Hadyn and Greedo cause of how beautifully it was done, and well... thought now was the best time to. Simple as that. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand, this image also has a lovely little song to go with it~

Precious Rose from the Gundam SEED series (I just wanna point out that I'm not a fan of the Anime but during its time back when it was aired on Animax, I did find myself liking some of the music from it, and even though I never watched far enough into the series, while looking for some of the songs, I stumbled upon this beauty that caught my attention initially by its title (fans will understand the connection) but when I looked into the translated lyrics, they actually fit these two characters almost to a T and I simply had to include it in the pic and even listen to it a bunch of time's whilst drawing and colouring the image) =

Now before I link the song, I just want to note that the one I was aiming was this one that I altered the pitch to to so it would have a little more masculinity (or at least heard as androgenous)  to it which I found more befitting Hadyn and Greedo (heck, the background singing even sounds a bit like Greedo to me)

sta.sh/01dejhhkkssh (There's no download required, just click on it ) Buuuuuuut, I know some folks don't always like altered music, so in respect to the original song and singer, here is the unaltered version =

www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYQpo5…

And of course, here are the translated lyrics =


The voice of the wind grows farther and farther away, a tiny seed is born
I spread my still-pale wings and soar to the sky
Climbing the rainbow, crossing the clouds, the mapless journey of the light
Discovering the wind, discovering the rain
These wings are stained, but all I want to do is fly away from this place
So I call out to the pulse of the world

I'm releasing this feeling I once embraced into the world
It flutters downward, you feel like a precious rose 
One flower that blooms in an ocean of sand

The flower doesn't wither even under the glaring sun
I travel down the road from here, my footprints leading to your precious light
This sand cloud's colour is becoming stained
But where is the real thing?
I raise my voice and touch the hand that reached out to me
The eyes of the miracle take on an unimaginable shape

From your answer, I feel the warmth nestling in
I'm glad I believed, my eyes suddenly brimmed with tears
Two flowers overlapping over time

The existence of water and fire sinks into the earth and glows on
Because we'll keep our gaze until that flower dies
This wish from the sky is coming - Precious rose


Oddly enough, the Gundam songs work well for their own genre cause they actually sound all like robotic/spacey kinda... sounds. Which makes them generally difficult to fit to outside fandoms, but this works fine, I think. So yeah...

It's kinda funny how I chose to introduce an image that displays such raw emotions from a character whose initial pic showed him quite macho-looking and this is, what, his second or third image?? Wow. But yeah, again, I wanted to show a different side to my fiery character that and I honestly been feeling the same way for a past few weeks but that's for another time. Hadyn can be stand-offish, scowly, not always have much to say but when he does, he can be pretty blunt ... Buuuut, he also goes through a lot like most people, and like most people, is human, and has human emotions too. Because of the constant concern for his missing uncle and always feeling helpless or not being strong enough to fight off enemy Legendz because of Greedo still in his unawakened form... Yeah, that could upset anyone. So yeah, poor Hi no Saga... (hugs) Greedo's unawakened form isn't the best tbh. :/ I maybe shoulda drawn a bit of his jacket too cause he looks a bit... flat, I dunno. And I also made a boo boo... How is there still a rose when Greedo's there...??

ARTISTIC LICENCE AND SYMBOLISM, THAT'S HOW!!!!!! My gosh, this got long, kay bai~

Hope you likes

GYAH PPPfbpbpftjjhet!     


I usually don't freak out like that but Holy Crap! This pic is awesome! I know I said this before, but you really nailed the style of the show, even to the point of how the fiery lighting works. Hadyn looks great here! So much emotion being expressed from him. What an excellent way to make a come back, my friend!

And yes your right. The song is very fitting. I'm not a fan of SEED. I think it pales in comparison to other Gundam shows and the less said about SEED Destiny the better. But the songs.... like every Gundam show... are full of emotion and this one fits this pic so well. Fun fact, Legendz was created just a little after SEED started airing.

Hey. Guys can be emotional. Even the macho ones! But in seriousness, it is great to see a character have a wider feel of emotions than the usual depiction. Gives them more layers. Funny enough I thought that was a blazedragon insignia to represent Greedo's presence. Still a neat idea. and yeah, feeling your not strong enough can be a real downer. Speaking from personal experience. heheh  

But anyway. This came out amazing, my friend! I can't wait to see more of Hadyn and Greedo in the future. I remember always not liking to draw Greedo myself. He just always felt like a pain to draw. BUt after a while he's slowly becoming one of my favs to just draw. I guess you can say I warmed up to him? XP.... I'll see myself out now.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THANKIES SO MUCH, PAL!!! Aw man, so glad you approve!!! Strayed a bit from the usual colouring style of the show but tried to at least keep the over all look.

Thanks!! Glad you think so too!! Yeah, SEED is kinda... yeah. I tried to give it a chance but, blah. Lost interest pretty quickly. Never got to see Destiny but will take your word for it. But yes, the songs and music are something they did right! Huh! Well, that's interesting!

Oh I believe it!! Sadly, everyone I've grown up around sees that differently and it irks me. :/ Male, female, it's all human emotion!! (Probably why Anime appeals to me so much) But yes, I must agree! And it's a personal thing I like to see in characters such as this for that very reason. Oh cool, an insignia might've been the way to go! I was aiming for an abstract version of his early awakening, but yeah... Yes! Same here actually. He trains his body hard to be able to endure the energy and strength draining from Greedo (unfortunate trait that, but find it unique personally) but he feels its never enough so yeah, can be a real downer on a person no matter how hard you push yourself.

Thank you so much!!! I must really get onto drawing the others too. x__X Aww, I quite enjoy drawing him... from the little I have, but yes, it can be a pain. Glad you've warmed up to him though. (Pulls you back) STAY! NO GO! PUNS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME WITH ME! Late 80s kid; it was our bread and butter.

If it's a stray I don't see it. The color tone is a bit darker but that just makes the fire illumination stand out. An excellent decision in my opinion. 

SEED is nearly unanimously considered a terrible show amount the Gundam community, with it's sequel being even worse. There are so many gundam shows out there, your bound to find varying levels of quality. So for the sake of Gundam fans, allow to make some recommendations. XD If you want a more traditional Gundam experience, I would highly Recommend Gundam 00. If you want something a little more light hearted with no mass scale war thrown in, Gundam Build Fighters, the first one. Not Build Fighters Try or the currently airing Build Divers. If you like 00 then I would say try Gundam Unicorn. It takes place in the original Gundam universe. And if you like Build fighters, you can't go wrong with moving on to Build Fighters Try, even if it's slightly lower quality to me and many others, still better than build divers right now. That show is BORING!

Indeed. I love it when characters, male and female are just allowed to just be characters, be people. Break the stigmas! Ah yes, Hadyn's personal training will certainly help with that. I always like to think, that since Greedo is a fire legendz, he requires more energy because, well heat burns fuel faster. Every single saga, to a lesser extent shows some exhaustion after a legendz fight, particularly Shu after Shiron's fight with Ranshiin. Can't let our weaknesses of today, prevent us from trying tomorrow. 

Can't wait to see the others. I just realized. Ever considered making a legendz bottle cap? I bet that would be really cool. Bet you wouldn't want to sell them though. Hahaha. Ok I'm not going anywhere. Honesly. early 90s kid, pretty musch our bread and butter too. XD

I used a gradient shading for some of it which the show doesn't, so I know it's deffo a stray. But thank you!! Glad you approve either way~

Can see why. Thanks!! I'll deffo give those recs a shot when I'm in a Mecha mood!! Thanks so much!! Saves me a ton of time browsing and choosing at random.  

IKR!! That freedom is awesome!! Oh my.... that is actually BRILLIANT!!! Never woulda thought of that!!! It makes tons sense, fire - fuel consumption.... Are you Einstein Jr. by any chance?? IKR! They say they're all suppose to undergo the same energy depletion, but wow, Shu especially must have endless stamina then!  

Imma attempt some sketching tonight if all goes well~ Actually, it was the very first fandom themed one I wanted to make originally after the first few tries. What stopped me was my skill level and that I had to figure out print out sizes and whether or not to draw my own images for it or simply print screenshots. I dunno about the skill level now, but since then have worked out the latter issue~ If made casually I'd deffo keep for myself (and it is actually on the to-do list for eventually cause let's face it, it's the only 'merch' of the franchise I'm ever gonna get my paws on in this lifetime ), but if requested, well then I couldn't, could I? .... A hint, by any chance??? Good, cause I'd track you down! I'm a Bloodhound!! Ah man, I may be a late 80s child, but the early 90s is where my memory really started so it's practically the same. .... Hmmm, bread and butter (nearly supper time)

LFdonohue94 In reply to Drag0n-Mistr3ss [2018-06-06 02:23:17 +0000 UTC]

Ah yeah. The gradient effect. I noticed it before but it still works with the style of the show. Especially with pictures like this.

Yeah. When the mood shows up. Mecha isn't for everyone. I just hope to give you a better Gundam impression than SEED. I had a friend who started with SEED and ended up not liking Gundam because of that bad impression. I started with 00. Been a fan ever since. Even with it's current low point for me. Let me know what you think of them when you actually see it!

Haha. Don't know about Einstein. Took me a few years to come to that conclusion. But it does make the most sense. And yeah. Shu has always been a bubble of energy in the show, pretty sure that helps his saga endurance.

Aw. Wanted to save your best for good ol legendz huh? BUt glad your starting to iron out the kinks in the cogs. I can't wait to see what you do with Legendz when you get to it. I'm predicting a Nezu and Waru somewhere in there! XD

Ah the early 90s. So much stuff going on there. A fun time. Too bad I wasn't really aloud to watch TV. Missed out on a lot of great cartoons.

Drag0n-Mistr3ss In reply to LFdonohue94 [2018-06-06 19:59:23 +0000 UTC]

Great to hear it!! *^^* Yeah, with images like this it just brings that little extra emotion an feel into it~

Yeah, I tend to go for the Transformers: Beast eras when I'm in a Mech phase, but am wanting to enjoy an Anime one too so I appreciate the recs! Meh, SEED's practically out of my head as is so a new start shouldn't affect me negatively. I'll deffo let you know when I watch it and my thoughts!  

Still sooner than most~ And yes, it does!   Yup, he's a regular Energizer Bunny for sure!

Pretty much~ If it ended up a failure I woulda felt like I betrayed the fandom. ^^ It's a weird logic~ Am more clued up nowadays thank goodness so will add it to the to-do list! Ha! Perhaps they would make a fun one, yes~ But if you ever wish to request any, feel free to do so~

So much indeed! And OMGOSH that's criminal!! SO MANY CHEESY TOONS, NUUUUUUUU, You must watch them all now!! THEY'RE A STAPLE!!!! But it does show how much TV I had access too... XD Even though I was really outdoorsy as well, can remember watching toons very much most of the day.

LFdonohue94 In reply to Drag0n-Mistr3ss [2018-06-07 06:50:02 +0000 UTC]

Exactly!

Transformers is always a good place to go in a mecha craves down. But I really hope you like them when you see those shows. Maybe if your curious enough you can watch the original Mobile Suit Gundam. Keep in mind that anime was made in 1979 making it almost 40 years old at this point. Fair to say the visuals did not age well.

I could use some Shu energizers right now myself. zzzzzzz

I see what your getting at. I personally feel a fen base is a good place to practice. I never would've drawn comics unless I was concerned with being professional as possible. But I can understand. you want to do your very best for the things you love. I certainly get that. Haha. I don't want to drop requests on ya just yet. I want you to feel comfortable with your craft first. Though a Greedo bottle cap would be pretty cool in the future.

Yeah. I wasn't even aloud to watch Jurassic Park back then. Thank God for the internet, now I can experience these shows.

Hey, I'll give anything a shot~ When it comes to the oldies you look at the story and not the visuals anyway.  

I hear ya. If given the chance I'd sleep for days on end. Buuut, thanks to certain furry & fluffy family members, have to get up at some time during the day.

Wise thoughts to live by~ Failure and me share a harsh relationship though... Really need to get over that some time.... Meh, more or else comfortable with it these days as it's something I'm actually enjoying (I've only shown the 'fails/not for sales' of what I've made but there are others and they have to be of better quality cause they're for sale so...) He's added to the list then! But I'll let you know closer to the time when I start it.

djkfhurye9wpfreudhvfjunhvgjug9werapt884e90w9rh When it came out here (sometimes it took YEARS for things to be released here in SA) I myself wasn't even 10 yet (think that was its rating) and even my parents made sure I got to see it!! Oh gosh, I feel so for you there! But then again, TV can destroy a person too so maybe it was for the better? Certainly not bad parenting.

LFdonohue94 In reply to Drag0n-Mistr3ss [2018-06-10 22:01:07 +0000 UTC]

Thats the spirit, cause as a story the original still holds up really well. You can even watch it two different ways. You can watch the original 43 ep format or you can watch the three film trilogy that trims a lot of fat and has more focus. ( Plus the japanese version has some beautiful vocal tracks)

Yeah. Even in my new living conditions I got some fluffy responsibility too. ^^

I have a pretty good idea of that. I am my own worst critic as I said before. I've been working on it though. Were it not for the positive feedback I got from the legendz community years ago, I might not have continued with comics. I thank you all for that. ^^

Can't wait. But do please take your time. This is a passion for you. Would hate to disrupt it.

Yeah. My parents especially my mom were extremely overprotective. They were the kind of parents that believed that nonsense that video games made people violent. I wasn't even aloud to get Smash Bros when I was younger cause of that. Thankfully when melee came around, I was aloud to get it. ^^

Ooooh, some nice options there! Both seem tempting, that's for sure! Will have to see when I get there but might watch both in the end.  

Awww, awesome!! ^^ Your doggie??

Doing better than I am, that's for sure! But you have a great attitude about it! Looking at the positives is the best way to go~ I think I speak for the entire community when I say we're glad you continued your comics and even improved so tremendously during the course!!  

Haha~ Okay, I shall. Am kinda stuck in the drawing phase right now anyways~

Ah, that explains it. Funny enough, so did mine, but again, they never actually stopped me from playing/watching violent things but rather ingrained it into me of how horrible violence/language/basically everything adult rated is so I naturally avoided certain things... But then again, I watched my cousins play my Mortal Kombat SEGA Megadrive game at a very young age, so I dunno... Maybe it was selective. But great you were eventually given some leeway. And now you can experience all the joys of the 80s/90s heck, all the eras' childhoods!

LFdonohue94 In reply to Drag0n-Mistr3ss [2018-06-15 15:09:37 +0000 UTC]

You can watch either or and get the same experience. Though many gundam fans recommend the trilogy format of the original show because of it's streamlining. Die hards end up watching both. XD

Yyyyup.

All in the days work for a die hard fan. And right now I love Legendz more than ever.

I hear ya. Still sketching my next comic page. Decided to break up monotony with other pics. You'll see them pop up later.

Lol. The most violent thing I played back then was Super Smash Bros, and even then I wasn't allowed to own it. Just rent it. Thank God I got to experience Metroid. It's kinda ingrained in me too. Still haven't played a Grand Theft Auto game and I don't plan to. And considering what I hear about it online these days, thats probably a good thing. Not because of violence but because of crappy business practices.

Yes! All of those shows I can now watch on my leisure!!!!!!!
