Noriyuki Coloured version

Coloured version of

Here is Lord Noriyuki, Ruler of the Geishu provinces and, I think it's safe to call him a friend of Usagi's (although the friendship is a little formal considering his sovereignty.)

I'm very fond of Noriyuki He's kinda like the Dakota Fanning of the UY universe. As with all the characters, his age isn't pinned down (as far as I know anyway) but I can't imagine him being older than 12. But he's calm, level-headed and very wise.

However he never comes across as chilly or unapproachable and remains a very warm character. I find that, for whatever reason, there is still a wall constructed around him making it between difficult and impossible to reach in to who he really is as a person (I know I sure haven't been able to figure out just who he really is behind his guard) but I see this as something dictated by tradition and propriety regarding his position and doesn't have anything to do with the person himself.

I find myself often forgetting that, when the chips are down, Noriyuki is as a fact still a child. But maybe that's what makes him so likable. who knows.

They really didn't do him justice in the TMNT episode he was in, demoting him to simply a 'damsel in distress' XDD

I find Noriyuki's design ridiculously attractive You can't beat those strong black and white markings. I've been wanting to draw him for a while now but never knew what I wanted to draw him doing. In the end I settled for drawing him doing.. ..NOTHING 8DD Huzzah!! .... sorry about that XD;; if I draw him again I promise it'll be more interesting.

It was fun to play with how I would draw his face since I knew I couldn't draw it the same shape as the way I draw Usagi's.

|D erm... .anyway. here he is 8D

Origami texture, Japanese door thingy and plant aren't mine XD they're all found here on dA but I'm not sure where.
