He is fucking awesome. That's a GREAT pic, dani. I loooove it ♥♥ It's making me feel a little better ♥

Take an Isshin with every Advil; it works on the same principles as the Spoonful of Sugar Theory developed by Mary Poppins. *gives Tony big fat hug*

♥ I have the 05 Juvenile Orion Calendar and the Isshin page is taped to my wall now :3

T_T I always see the Juvenile Orion merchandise advertised in the back pages of the manga volumes (I have volume 4, the one with Isshin on the cover, next to me right now as my reference) and think, "Ooh, prettyfuls!" JO T-shirts, hmm ...

They sell most of the JO stuff at kinokuniya and broccholi is like the only company that does decent orders...

Coolio, thanks! ^-^ Heh, and I just found out today via Wikipedia (I was looking for a larger version of the Arayashiki symbol) that the JO manga was published in Japan by Square Enix. Here I'd always only associated Square Enix with Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts ... o.o;;

SEXY. WOULD KEEP IN POCKET IF I KNEW WHO HE IS 8D

<3 tiffo

We can always overlook that minor detail and assume that the pocket-sized version of Isshin doesn't mind if you don't know who he is ...? XD;;

Insert incoherent keysmashing here.

He is beautiful. @___@;; And just seeing more JO fanart period is making me squee. XDD

in my mind, no matter what fancy-pants Chinese martial arts moves he pulls off ... he's still a big knuckle-headed klutz.
Bahahaha, I agree! XDD

8D Thank you. My small efforts won't exactly make JO fanart any less of a rarity than it currently is, but at least it's something.

Oh, and I've always thought that Isshin is a character who constantly contradicts himself -- one moment he's kicking major tush with every cool flourish in the book, and the next moment he's spotted Mana and is haplessly blundering into a wall, or bonking his head on the basketball hoop (against all odds, since he's tall, but not that tall). But that's what makes him such a precious boy ... XD

no idea who he is..but i like him already! sexy hair..(don't ask why >.<)

:) He also happens to be Chinese ... or close enough, anyway. And thank you, I'm glad you like the hair; that's the part that always takes the longest for me to draw. ^-^; (Don't worry if you don't know who he is, since Juvenile Orion doesn't seem to be a very well-known manga series.)

manga...no wonder i'm not familiar..heh..i know Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon though!(as if that's something to be proud of *bricked*)

XD;; Well, take comfort in the fact that two of my closest school friends have been Sailor Moon fans practically for life.

(Tries not to be distracted from everything else by the coolness of the tiger.)

(Fails.)

The glow in the eyes is great, it makes it look like he's not all that terribly interested in the viewer.

(Tiger. Dude.)

8D;; The tiger was even distracting me while I was drawing this. "Tra-la-la, shading in the hair, oh bother, I think I'll go touch up the tiger's tail instead." Etc.
