Raven Princeby *SapphireGamgee

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Illustrations / Conceptual

I posted this on my Tumblr, but decided that I would also put it on here. Raven Mytho was drawn in my style, so he's got way more muscle on him (maybe too much...but if you've ever seen actual ballet dancers, they're not the stick-thin waifs portrayed in the anime. That doesn't bother me, though, because it's a stylistic choice, and when has anime ever been accurate? XD I do love the anime's style, and Mytho is one of my favorite designs! ) He may lose a bit of his present bulk if I draw him again, because he's still supposed to be a teenager. We'll see what happens.

Mytho's "smile" is supposed to be somewhat insane and 'off', but I'm not sure anyone will pick up on that. It's probably too small.

I have to admit that while the Raven incarnation is interesting and fun to watch (and probably fun to play XD ) I was SO glad when he overcame it and became whole-hearted Siegfried.

It's kind of sketchy, and I'm not sure I like it, but...oh well.

I'm sorry - of which anime do you speak? Princess Tutu?

*SapphireGamgee Jul 1, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Yes indeed!

~Kazzellin Jul 6, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Ahh. Still haven't seen that, but I have discovered the Wii has Netflicks, and I know it's therein because my SIL found it that way (and she thinks Sailor Moon is too cutesy XD ). So, there's hope!

It's really an awesome anime, nothing like you'd expect even from the first episode. It takes the usual shoujo tropes and plays around with them in an interesting and intelligent way. Plus, if you love classical musica, fairy tales and/or ballet you'll love this

All I know is my SIL has apparently seen it, and she's the one who thinks Sailor Moon is too cutesy (then again, I doubt she's seen the original Japanese language version; anything that's been chopped and pared down for kindergarteners when it's supposed to be for middle/high schoolers is going to be too cutesy, just by difinition). XD SOunds aweseom, though! ^__^

I've never cared for Sailor Moon, but I didn't have the patience to sit through more than a few episodes, to be honest. But Princess Tutu...yeah, one of the best anime series out there.

~Kazzellin Aug 6, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

The early season stuff it pretty silly. Then of course there's the whole Marvel-comics-cliche at the end of the first season. I shall definitely have to check the tutus out. ^__^

A lot of people over here have such affection for it, though, because SM was one of the first animes in wide-release in the U.S. so I can understand why the fandom exists.

Lol, I really like it! (And nice explanation you gave in the description...and yeah...men ballet dancers are beasts. Women, too, for that matter. ><).

This may sound odd but for some reason this reminds me of Cabaret / Nazi Germany... 0,o
In a good way, though. If that can be taken in a good way...>,>

*SapphireGamgee May 26, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

I know, huh? They have these massive thighs, especially! I may trim Mytho down a bit in future, because I think he's a bit bulky for a 17-18-ish ballet dancer, but not much. He'd have some muscle on him!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Omigosh, that is so true! And it takes place in or around Germany, so you're not far off! It's the costume, I think. I love how the costumes really are true to what would be seen in a ballet, even this craziness (though Kraehe's outfit would have a nude-colored panel, rather than...what it is XD )
