Not-So-Fierce Oni

Because I think his bite is much worse than his bark. Just sayin'. Look at those teeth!!

For the Dark Characters contest over at . Fierce Deity was listed! OMG!! And he's just so darned adorable, so why not? I'll probably make another entry... If I can get to it in time, that is.

If ever there was a drawing I've made of a character that I wanted to have in real life, this is the one. I love him so much!! I would try to keep him. Not as a pet, exactly, but... You know. Just because I could. I don't think he's very big, and when compared to some of my other drawings, I think he'd be much more manageable. Though it both looks and sounds very cool, the Double Helix Sword has never been a weapon that I though of as very dangerous. I mean, it doesn't look very sharp to me. It always seemed more like a bludgeoning weapon than a cutting one... But, then again, ANYTHING in the hands of a nine foot tall dude automatically becomes a deadly weapon... Am I right?

Ehhh, anyway, had a ton of fun with this one. I honestly didn't time myself, but I would guess... ahhh, 5-6 hours? Inking always takes me sooooo looooong, but it's worth it. It's been forever (about 3 months) sense the last time I inked and colored something. Everything else has been pencil only, weather colored or not.

I'm so happy with this little guy. But, leave me a comment telling me what YOU think!! Love him? Hate him? Let me know!! I spent enough time on him to deserve a few comments.

Also, if you care to, here's a link to my last Oni-Link drawing. fav.me/d5szzzq It's digitally done, and not to great. But I still like him. Feel free to give me a comment there, too...
