Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

First of all,i would like to introduce myself..

i'm DV2 (or DV),21,Male,from Spain,a new Usagi Yojimbo follower and fan,and currently thinking of Fan Art of Usagi.

When i've seen him in my childhood at the old TMNT of the 80's (1989) i tought "i'll remember this guy..i'm sure he'll appear in a future"...Future!!,we're in the future =D..after seein him again a tthe TMNT's 2005 Edition (the videos at the UJDojo),i tought...it's time to do something new,fox guy (that's me^^).

*Takes a deep breath and releases it slowly,both* *Blushes*

Dear Stan Sakai:

After reading your comics edited by "Planeta DeAgostini" in Spanish,i've been amused about your art style...the face expressions of your characters looks like if you've seen them somehow in real life..it's a technique never seen in a comic for kids (like i said,i'm 21,but i've got my feelings and emotions for any kind of things)..

The comic's i've read are Circles and actually reading Gray Shadows,thou i have 2 other comics to read after,Gen's History and "Segadora II" (something like Reaper 2,in english?),since there's no Reaper 1 on the sell ^^;;;

The meaning of this post,besides of introducing myself as a Spanish Follower,it's to show off one of the best pics i've ever made in my whole Deviant Art history and in my style (called Cel Shading,you'll instantly notice why it's called like that)...

Mr.Sakai...this drawing is for you in it's full splendor...it's not that really great,but i wasn't looking for real-ness but content and some kind of quality *blushie* (and no,i'm not [FONT COLOR="WHITE"]CENSORED[/FONT]..it's emotion ^^;

now i shall leave *puts on a samurai hat thingy* See you when you reply to this post *Walks away*

Congratulations for making such an awesome comic...greetings from Spain!!...ARRIBA USAGI!!!!!!!!

Sincerly

DV2 The Fox ( http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/40279821/ )

Welcome to the Usagi Yojimbo Dojo, DV2, new members are always welcome. If you dig through some of the older forum messages, you will notice that there are quite a few Usagi fans here who are located in Spain.

I also want to compliment you on a great piece of Usagi fan art, and since you frequent the Deviant Art web-site, I'd like to recommend the Usagi Yojimbo Club set up on Deviant Art at http://usagi-yojimbo-club.deviantart.com/ where you can meet and interact with other artistic fans of the long-eared rabbit ronin.

Segadora II is called Grasscutter II in the original or english editions, with the name based upon the nick-name of the sword that was given as a gift by the goddess Amaratsu to the first emperor of Japan and passed down through following generations of the imperial family. Usagi Yojimbo volume 5 from Planeta DeAgostini is called Segadora (or Grasscutter) and tells the first part of Usagi Miyamoto's involvement with this imperial treasure.

Again, welcome to the Usagi Yojimbo Dojo....

Abayo

¡Bienvenido!

As Steve says, there are some Spanish fans around, myself included. And nice drawing, by the way.

PS: I'm writing this in English instead of doing so in Spanish because... well, this is an English-written forum.

Welcome, DV2. Very nice drawing. I like the mood you're able to convey.

I have been to Spain a number of times, and will be returning to Gijon, Asturias in October.

Thanks for your words,Mr.Sakai ^__^.I'm planning to do more drawings of Usagi in a near future (his faces or another magic pic ...or a HANYA :3)

Come to Barcelona at the special events of "Salon del Comic" (Comic Expo) and "Salon de Manga" (Manga Expo) anytime!,will be there with a USAGI comic to sign in X3 *Wags tail*

Again,thanks for your comment..now i gotta draw and do new stuff ^__^

*Grabs a big pencil and runs to the table* RRRRYYYYAAAAAAA!!! >o<

I was talking to a friend about Barcelona just last night. Paul Dini will be there with his wife Misty. Unfortunately, I will not be going. I hope Planeta will invite me one year, though.

I had been to Expo Comics in Madrid in 2004. That might be the same people who put on Manga Expo.

That sounds really cool

i wish Planeta releases more comics of Usagi Yojimbo soon...i bought those i said in my first post at one mall (called FNAC) and today i bought "Moon Halo" (or something)..then i asked for the person who controls the whole manga/comic stuff and said that,sadly,there's no news about new upcoming UY comics....but i won't give up that easily ;D...i know another place,called "NORMA COMICS",in Barcelona.

I went there only one time...but going another time won't hurt

Thanks for your words,Mr.Sakai. The day i go to the Comic Expo 2007,the first thing i'll look for is <U><B><I>USAGI YOJIMBO</I></B></U>

...."Olé" with that font style XD

I'll let you know when new pics of Usagi made by me will come up with a new post ^___^.

Enjoy March! *bends down*

DV

.....RRRRRRYYYYAAAAAAAA!!!! *Run run run*

After reading "grey shadows" book,i've wanted to draw usagi and Ishida in a pic,with the add-on of a Tokage

Thou it's less detailed than the other one,it's still good^^..sorry if Ishida is a bit shorter than Usagi..^^;;;;

The pic can be found HERE:

Hope you guys like it

Looks great!

Very nice. I especially like the expression on Usagi's face.

Thanks both^^..wanted to make him look in his neutral style thou ..thou Ishida's been a bit hard to make (the face anatomy).

Cya another time!

PD: 2 bad Usagi's not in the new TMNT movie ;____;...

i made this gift for a member of the board,Kairi,with Usagi and myself (Finally with samurai like clothing and KATANA OwO *Wags tail fast*) watching her eating noodles X3...it came out random

Enjoy

That is such a cool gift!

Kairi will probably forgive you for messin' with her noodles!

Thank you so much, DV!!

I love this picture, and I saved it to my computer! ^_^

You got all the colors right, and I love Usagi and DV's expressions.

Yeah, Kairi really loves her noodles.

I've recovered the topic so i dun make another one and fill stuff ^^;;

HEY!,i'm back again after a year n 6 months! X3..and that's the time i havent drawn Usagi ^^;;..
