Description This is for my dear friend Julian, who lives in Berlin, Germany. Herzlischen Gluekwunsch zum Geburtstag, Julian! (I hope I spelled it right. I had my friend - a German exchange student in my Spanish class - tell me how to say "Happy Birthday" in German.) Actually, yesterday was his b-day (the 22nd), but I didn't have an access to a scanner until today. I would have submitted it yesterday, but...yeah, you know the deal. I hope he likes this. I think Ayane was his favourite DOA girl.

This is Ayane from the XBOX 360 video game Dead or Alive 4. *Edit* She's in her c3 outfit, not c4. Sorry! I've only played the game once. I know the outfit isn't 100% accurate, but I only had so much reference to this particular outfit of hers.

Yes, that's Fujiyama in the background, supposedly.

Drawn with coloured acrylic inks & then coloured in with Japanese Watercolours.

Hayabusa is a cool character. He's hard for me to draw though (mainly because he's very muscular...I have a long way to go before I can draw muscles correctly).

Thanks for the on this as well. Yes, back when I drew this (a year ago or so? I can't remember. I'd have to look at the pic & see what date I submitted it...it's been a while) it was for one of my friends who live in Germany.

Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, I think this is her best outfit yet. It always great to see video game characters get new outfits; it gives me a reason for more fan art! *Laughs at myself*

whoa! great composition! I'm always do like the way you add in a well colored BG in your character profile paintings. I especially luv them sakura blossoms and the starry night combo ^_~
I really liked the way you colored her skin with all them highlight spots ^w^ and the way you painted her outfit with all them designs are CRAZY! it's cool how you still kept it nice and neat with the shadows and all. I like her eyes too! the way you made it look like she has masacra on, it really brings out her pretty red eyes. all in all, beautifully done!

Thank you for commenting on my Ayane fanart. I am glad you like it & especially how you wrote down that you like the colours. ^__^

By the way, I like your Anakin avatar. Hayden Christensen is great & so perfect for young Vader! (Also, I am a fangirl of his!)

I'm so loving this, you know that, right?! Yes, I admit that I am a rabid Ayane fangirl.
Awesome drawing, hon. I like your decision to have it as a nighttime picture. The title made me think it was going to be all sunny! Haha, but that wouldn't be suitable to our female ninja since she looks so much more stunning under the moonlight. Her outfit looks cool. I can't wait to play the new video game! This is so getting !

AyaneShinobi In reply to moonlove [2006-01-26 21:21:30 +0000 UTC]

Oh my, thank you so much for all the wonderful comments & especially for the you put on it! Yes, I am glad I did choose a night theme for the picture. At first, I wanted to do daytime, then sunset, but I thought, "I've done too many sunset drawings!". So I thought nighttime would be good, because that does seem like the right time for ninja to go out. ^_^

C4? the coloring looks more like her C2. Not accurate, but nicely done

AyaneShinobi In reply to Riikahi [2006-01-24 03:43:48 +0000 UTC]

Oops! I changed it. It's her c3, I believe. I only had the chance to play the game once, so I'm not so sure. Heh heh...not accurate, eh? Awww, thanks a lot for the bad news...just kidding! I'm glad you like it & thank you so much for the you put on it!

Riikahi In reply to AyaneShinobi [2006-01-25 19:31:51 +0000 UTC]

Im pretty sure that its her c2, her c3 is her school uniform, c4 is my favortie one, hard to explain but it has alot of detail on it, c5 is her in a coat with a dark green skirt, and her last cosume is the same last one in DOAU2.
I like how you draw Ayane, cause it auctually looks like Ayane. I've seen artists that are more popular than you screw up on her hair.

AyaneShinobi In reply to Riikahi [2006-01-26 21:19:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the information on Ayane's DOA4 outfits! c4 is her other detailed one you say? Is it the one where she has a big bow in the back & it almost looks like she is wearing armour with the outfit?

Wow, thank you so much for writing that! Really! I'm happy you believe me to draw Ayane so well.

Riikahi In reply to AyaneShinobi [2006-01-27 00:30:06 +0000 UTC]

Ah , yes, a big bow and some weird black armour thingy on her upper torso where the rest of it is a whole load of purply designing. I always choose this one.

Cherry blossoms are fun to draw, because they are so pretty. Thanks for the comment! Yeah, her outfit is pretty detailed; I only had so much reference, so I'm sure there is a bit more detail I missed, but all in all, I'm glad with the way it came out.

AyaneShinobi In reply to quicksimon [2006-01-24 03:41:21 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I use these Japanese watercolours, the brand name: Koi. They work really nicely, because the colours come out rather bold. Out of all the watercolors I have used, Koi is the best.

Thanks for the great comments, too! I'm glad you like this painting.
