Raiden

"Raiden"

Raiden is a highly trained warlock-like character of mine that I’ve had since like.. 2003 I want to say. This is the first time I’ve drawn him though just because he doesn’t like to be seen.

And in truth neither of us are thrilled with the way this picture scanned into my computer. It looks so much better on the sheet of paper sitting on my drawing desk.

Raiden is a highly trained assassin who controls shadow demons, hence the dark shapes around him. Now his sunglasses are not there to make him look cool, as per the usual boring crap, they actually serve a purpose. His eyes are extremely sensitive to bright lights, like more so than the Gremlins, so these help him see.

The medium I used here are manga grade markers.
