Artist's Comments

Here it is, UPDATED WITH A HUGE PERSONALLITY STUDY!! The updated Reff for my SDL character, Keita! 8D
=Eitan606 did a great job of colouring, and placing it into the template, from some lines that I sent him, post-updating the design (thanks, ~Shawnzy for the crits! 8D)

AND KEITA IS NOW IN A TEAM! The Kamakiri-Gumi! [link]

:iconsdl1plz::iconsdl2plz::iconsdl3plz:
Name: Keita. He has no last name
Age: 19
Height: 6'2"
Weapons:
- Reinforced Shakujo
- A Satchel (not pictured), in which he keeps his projectile weapons: 5 hard, leather spheres about the size of a dodgeball, each with a surprising heavy weight.
[The satchel itself is often used in odd ways, such as a sling to hurl the spheres]
Hair: silver
Eyes: Blackened and burned: always closed.
Skills: Sense Fighting: heightened senses, due to blindness. Sonar, almost bat-like, hearing.
Fighting style: combined ball-and-staff-use techniques, with mid-to-long range applications; staff-based melee combat. Note that he’s blind, and has a left-handed preference when it comes to throwing things.
Notes:
Never one to try and draw first blood, Keita has a friendly, upbeat personality, which is backed by his warm smile and quirky sense of humour. Unable to judge upon appearances, Keita follows a personal philosophy of “Everyone has a clean slate upon when they first meet, and it should stay this way.” This is probably why Keita is quick to make friends. Keita has few enemies, and wants to keep it that way, more often than not. “You can never have too many friends, but too many enemies can be a little troublesome.”
He can almost always be found smiling about something, no matter what his current situation might be. Because of this, Keita is often seen as ‘simple’. Well… he is simple, but the problem is that people often think that ‘simple’ equates to someone being ‘stupid’: just because a person takes a less-complex look on life doesn’t mean they are less intelligent than the next person.
Raised as a monk, he has a near-unrivalled sense of optimism, which can be confused, at times, for being overly-confident, or cocky. He carries a money purse around, in a pouch concealed in his belt, but it’s almost always empty. Regardless of being poor in pocket, he’s has an extreme wealth in terms of spirit… but that said, he’s never one to turn down a free meal, and probably never will be: “All of life’s problems can always be solved with a chat over a nice, hot meal!” Fortunately, when this philosophy fails, he can handle himself well in a fight.


Likes: Jokes, having fun, generally loving life.
Dislikes: People who put him down due to his 'disability'

Gah! More blind people! The madness!!!

In all seriousness, though, not too shabby at all. And I say the more more blind/optically impaired duelers, the better.
:iconinuryan:
Hahah XD Yeeeeah ^^; There's an epidemic of optically imparied dulests, apparently...
And here I thought I was being original XD

Thanks a lot, Tsukikage. It means a lot to hear that from you ^^

If I get accepted, I'd love to challenge you to a duel ^^

COLOUR.

You should break the trend by having a deaf, dumb and blind competitor.

Is there a special SDL for disabled players?!

DIE MONSTER. DIE.

Great job dude! Diggin the costume changes to him! And really like the color scheme too (always a sucker for white and blue, yet I consider all my characters a bit too evil to wear white XD)

For some reason I feel like fanarting this guy XD He's a likeable character XD

P.S. on the image talented was spelled wrong xP

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"
:iconinuryan:
Thanks, dude. I took your suggestions to heart on this one.
I chose white and blue because Zeik is Black and Red XD
EPIC CLASH MATERIAL NEEDS OPPOSING COLOURS! :nod:

Well, go right a head, man: fan-art is always welcome 8D

P.S. Ah... I'll have Eitan change it: he's the one that did the photoshopping on it for me.
