Its what the title says it is. My friend was shit talking me again per usual, and said i'm too shitty of an artist to be able to draw a fight scene. So i'm working on this to prove them wrong, lol. I grew up with DBZ if my art style isn't evident of that, so i know fight scenes like the back of my hand.

I've just never drawn one before is all, but it can't be that hard. Given my time spent RPing, I know that positioning is incredibly important, especially since i'm trying to sell the impact and motion of the strike after the hit has already connected. The only real hard part will be finally visualizing Burn's "anti-light resonance" with his prothesis since whenever he strikes with his mechanical apendages, it creates a shock wave immediately after the strike that sends the opponent flying. It's something i've never drawn before, so that'll be an interesting challenge. The closest i can really compare it to is how Black Panther's suit works in the MCU (although its an idea that i've used with Burn in RP as far back as about 2014 with Burn's sword before he switched over to focusing more on his melee combat).

Anyways, i'll be getting back to the Saito drawing after this. I have a friend I need to 1-UP.

I was really unsatisfied with the previous drawing of Saito. It lacked any real emotion, and the redesign felt overkill, so i went back to the normal attire and just kept the new hair style.

I'm much more happy with this.

My internet is out at the time i'm posting this, so i'm sending this image (and blog post) from my phone.

Lot of modifications and revising done to this drawing in recent days. I wanted to try and apply a bit of what i learned when drawing my recent picture of both Suppressed & Ascended State Burn to this drawing of Saito.

I doubt I'll get this done before the Fall Semester starts, but if i do, that'd be great.

made some more progress today.

I'm gonna have to fix the grin. Aside from that, i'll need to figure out a pose for the other arm.

My summer semester is finally over, so i have time to draw again.

I plan to get my drawing of Burn's ascended state done before my fall semester starts. I had to spend a day or two remembering how tf to draw an arm and torso. I was also able to figure out how to draw the shoulder part of Burn's prosthetic arm without cheating it behind the gi. As for the hand, it's in a snapping position since Burn is able to set off pinpoint explosions whenever he snaps his fingers. It's kind of a trademark move of his, and he'll even use his explosions sometimes in order to propel his body through the air.

I kinda suck at drawing hands though, so i had to take a picture of myself in that pose to use as reference.

I should have this done in a week or two (minus the background, that'll probably take me a bit if i commit to drawing one from scratch since i'm not the best background artist.

Posting this for a youtube video, didn't want this getting lost.

I really want to draw Majin Android 21 again at some point after this is done.

Did some shading, going to move on to the prosthetic arm soon. I tried to keep the shading on Burn's left arm pretty basic since his muscles are relaxed, I figured that it'd be smart to save the more DBZ-style of arm shading for when he's actually exerting energy.

Redesigned Burn's arm into something a bit easier to draw (I used Mr. John Halo's arm as a bit of an inspiration for the more simple design; obviously i didn't lean too heavy into detail since it's gonna have a smooth mirror look).

I'm really digging these pencils that i installed onto Krita.

This feels much more in line now with how i draw with a pencil on paper. It feels a lot more raw now.
