It's okay, I know what you're thinking. "Hey, you know what Liz needs? Another naga character." Hush, you know I'm right. Luckily, I aim to please! AkjDFSDshd no seriously, I'm not really pleased with how this came out, but that's probably because I did it from sketch to final product all in one sitting, and I'm sick of looking at it. And because I cheated on...oh... everything. Bah, don't care. I needed a full image of my new nagabeast, Kiyoshi.
He's a kabuki actor, because I haven't seen anyone apply that idea to nagas yet and will eat someone's eyes if they start popping up after this. Even after two or three hours of intensive research, his outfit is still terribly wrong. The kumadori and costume don't really match, and he's technically supposed to be an onnagata because HE IS SO WOMANLY, but...yeah. Not really onnagata wear, here. OH WELL. For a better idea of what the delicate lines of his features and such should look like, you can take a gander at the sketches: [link] . He's not stoic or refined out of costume, he's chattery and whiny and horrendously sarcastic, and listens to American rock music when no one is looking. The kanji says "No Smoking". You only wish I was kidding. |

Là nel vasto mare devi incominciare!
Lì si comincia da ciò che è piccolo
E si gode d'ingoiare i piccolissimi;
Così si cresce, lenti, a poco a poco,
E ci si forma verso più alti compimenti.

His tail wraps are gorgeous, as well. You can tell he really puts effort into making sure he looks his best when going out. <3

So ... about murdering kittens
And ahaha, I can only imagine him out of costume, and it's a very good mental image.
OMG SCALES <3333 Again with the jealous.

Trying their wings once more in hopeless flight:
Blind moths against the wires of window screens.
Anything. Anything for a fix of light.
