This is Lord Kana, practising the dance with his twin katanas. They are special weapons, through which he can pass his powers, so they heat up to tremendous temperatures, capable of doing just about anything damage.

I actually really like the way his robe came out, especially the detailing on the cuffs and collars. Don't ask me what I was on when I did that background... it seemed like a good idea at the time... O.o

watercolour, 2003

I like this whole picture! The strange citrus colored swirlies in the background make me think he's practicing heating the blades up and is manipulating the rewsulting heat waves. Very cool! Deserving of a mod's choice.

Excellent use of watercolor...the vivid, bright color is great. Also, the trippy background is a great complement to the figure; it creates a sense of movement and almost, but not quite, mimics the folds in his robes. Oh, and he is WAY COOL! 10

I think the background is very good. To me it symbolizes the energies that he can channel through the blades to make them heat up and the linse enhance the motion in the pic very nicely, too. Great work, keep it up.
