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.

I love how pale he is, and the light texture to his scales. Very cool stuff.

pink is the perfect colour for a naga and the pink blossems fit so well too

At least the kanji isn't something cliche, like "cherry blossoms falling" or something. I dunno. If it's any consolation, at least your fans love it, even if you don't:heart:
