Rokudan
My most recent artwork is called "Two Sides, One Soul." It's based on a Beyblade fanfic of my own creation entitled: "Rokudan" which in Japanese means 'the highest rank' or something like that.

Anyways, the story is set in feudal Japan, around the 1600s, and Rei is a young Chinese soldier whose people are being attacked by the feared Mongol Empire. The only way to defeat them is to call forth the power of the sacred spirit Byakko (the white tiger). Unfortunately, the spirit doesn't come and many begin to doubt. All but Rei. He goes out on a mission to the Land of the Rising Sun in search of the fabled 'Shrine to the Four Corners', where Byakko and the other sacred spirits reside. It's an arduous journey and he encounters many obstacles and enemies, including Hitawari Kai, known as 'the most powerful swordsman in the orient.'

This picture illustrates the conflict between the two cultures. The red phoenix and Rei's chinese heritage represent the flaming hatred between him and Kai. The blue dragon and Rei as the samurai 'Rokudan' represent the magic and mystery of the strange foreign land of Japan and how Rei must try to understand it. It was a really fun picture to color. Now all I have to do is finish the story. I haven't even gotten past the first chapter yet! I stink at writing. Drawing is soooooo much easier.

Thanks to everyone for their comments and votes. I'm trying really hard to present the best fan art I can create. Thanks for boosting my efforts. I'll post more stuff soon.
