better outfit and style this time. Since I'm bringing back NRW I've also been reviving my old characters and things. This guy is Ben and he is based off me in real life Yeeeees he's a self-insert so sue me. three of us did it and our characters together were "the three creators", and at first we did use them as us but in the roleplay world we created but soon we adapted them as actual characters. I decided I want Ben to be heavy on Taijutsu. just before Bebo went down I had him start learning sword techniques from Griffin. but i can't imagine him being very comfortable with the sword to be honest, so I'm going to have him learn the staff. I actually used to train with the staff in real life. well, it was a rake handle that I would stand outside and spin around, but still i love it as a tool and weapon, how it feels and handles... so he'll learn it too. I also decided I want him to learn Sage Jutsu (or Senjutsu), like Naruto and Jiraiya. so in this picture is him doing the sage Jutsu training, gathering nature energy in sage mode he has the mask around his eyes and the darkened hands and feet, and yes his hands are a bit puffy but that was intentional lol. the ears and tail I'm thinking about being a part of his summoning contract with Tanuki rather than a sage mode thing.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to draw my other characters at some point. if I had all the time and motivation in the world I would make pictures for everyone's character and make like little ninja info cards on them lol
So anyway, that's quite a bit of progress in only almost two years. (that old one was uploaded feb 6 2013)
