Aaaaahhhh...............

Don't ya just LOVE that quote??? Well, I pretty much love anything and everything from THE Legendary swordsman, Kenshin Himura, and *yes* Tasha-chan, that's another bishonen to add to the Kaliko's extensive list! ^___~ LOL. But actually, Kenny-kun is pretty far high up the rankings, and anyone that's seen Kenshin in action would know why ^__^. He's sweet, kind, thoughtful and has his moral ethics in all the right places. I love him, and that's no short of the truth ^__^!!

I illustrated this picture in order to depict what I believe to be Kenshin's strongest enemy and hardest trial: facing the truths of his past. Because of that theme, I chose to draw two versions of Kenshin, the first you see in the foreground (in the blue) is Kenshin from the Samurai X OVAs, as a young boy, known to be Battousai the Manslayer (Hitokiri Battousai) and fighting for the imperalists during the Meiji Revoultion. The second, in the background (the fuschia-pink), is the more commonly known TV series Kenshin who is ten years or so older, and, in a time of peace, works to protect the innocent and repent for the lives he took during the time of war. (*sigh* ya just gotta love him

The fanart itself didn't take too long to do thankfully ^__^ Both Kenshins are done in combinations of marker and pencil crayon, where the marker was used as a base and the pencils did the varying shades, or occasionally vice-versa. The background was done in Derwents, and the text was later added to emphasize that Kenshin vs. Battousai theme. This is my tribute to a guy I absolutely looove, being one of the best lead characters I've yet ever seen Thanks all for viewing and I hope you enjoyed!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all! God bless!

Peace. Love. Anime.
