Another shinobi for the Village Hidden in San Francisco.

((For those who have read the commentary in "Pedestrian Ninja - OUTLINE", the following is just the exact same explanatory text for Pedestrian Ninja. ^^))

Pedestrian Ninja is lacking a single essential - a bike helmet, that's supposed to be slung over his right shoulder because he's the freaking PEDESTRIAN NINJA and NEEDS a bicycling helmet to show off the fact that he navigates sidewalks. Also, you'll notice that he's supposedly "missing" his hitai-ate, but NOT TO WORRY! I'd actually already planned that out, and his headband actually clips onto his back pocket like some sort of wallet/money clip. Because somehow, I can imagine a pedestrian putting his/her wallet in their back pocket, and what better identification (besides said wallet) than a hitai-ate? At least, in the world of ninjas.

I don't know why, but I've decided - Pedestrian Ninja shall be Gay Pride Ninja's (small) crush. O.o Because, er, yes. Just, yes. ~-~ Ah, but poor G.P.'s love is unrequited - because Pedestrian Ninja suffers from short-term memory loss, which is what makes him so perfect for his position as Pedestrian Ninja. Imagine - the streets are filled with many, many, many strangers, all without the knowledge of each other and all living in separate minds. So, the Pedestrian Ninja should sort of emulate that, right? In this case, short-term memory loss is a perfect attribute to our happy-go-lucky-ish ninja because he can then treat all (or at least a whole bunch) of people like complete strangers, as if he'd just met them on the street. :wink:

So, Pedestrian Ninja shall suffer from short-term memory loss to reflect the fact that no one on the streets know another - just as Pedestrian Ninja can never get lost in his own little circle of friends.

:-: Poor G.P.... his crush can't, for the life of him, even remember his title...

Ah, but enough of the sappy stuff that'll sooner or later be resolved anyway. I already have the color scheme worked out, BUT-!! If anyone would like to print the outline out and color it, I wouldn't have any qualms with it. ^^ The colors are sort of bland for an anime character...

((END REDUNDANCY))

Haha - witness my pathetic excuse for a plaid collar shirt. My brother's wardrobe, actually, is where Pedestrian Ninja's plaid pattern comes from. However, I couldn't actually find onii-chan's shirt for a reference, so I sort of improvised and just did a bunch of gray and blue hatch marks that occasionally wavered with the cloth. ;-; Turned out better than I thought it would, though...I expected it to look like it'd just been scratched up... ~_~

And *GASP~!* my scanner wasn't entirely being a jerk! Usually, I have to dilute the granulation so much that my characters look almost white (visit the Typhoon Ninja for proof of this), but by MIRACLE~! I didn't have to this time. Of course, maybe it's because I planned that ahead and used paper with a different texture and then smoothed the colored pencil as much I could with the blander before I scanned it in...but whatever. **huggles scanner**
