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.

Ah! Ayane! She's pretty! I've always liked her, even if I'm not the biggest fan of the DOA series. Not going to even touch an XBOX 360. Beautiful outfit though. Tecmo have some very inspired artists and designers to get out some decent imageware (Did I just shamefully make up a word or is that official?! @__@ meep)

Good going with this. As usual, your colouring engages sweetly.

Zankyuu so very much, cheeb, for the wonderful comments~! Yeah, Ayane is just badass. Oooh, Xbox 360...I actually don't have one, but I got the chance to try out DOA4 recently. Yes, it is so expensive, I really can't believe it. Yeah, this is her best outfit in DOA4, in my opinion. It's about time they give her a really colourful & pretty outfit. :3

Yeah, she kinda gets the bad end of the outfit designs compared to the other women, but at least she gets at least one interesting dress up. ^___^

Have you seen the other outfits for the other girls of DOA4? Christie literally looks like a hooker. Really, when I saw her outfits, I thought, "Darn Tecmo, you guys really are a bunch of hentai-tachi!: As for the best outfits, I like most of Helena's outfits; she seems to have classier taste.

cheeb In reply to AyaneShinobi [2006-01-26 22:48:32 +0000 UTC]

Nope, can't say I've actually seen any of the outfits.

What's going on with Helena? Is she actually the new baddy of DOA? And is that Lisa in the mask?

AyaneShinobi In reply to cheeb [2006-01-26 23:08:47 +0000 UTC]

It does seem like Helena is a "boss" of some sort in DOA4. As for the masked woman, it has to be Lisa! Looks just like her, unless it's her evil twin (which I doubt).

Tecmo and their no ability to hide things. Can't see Helena being bad myself - but would be an interesting turn of events.

Really nice work. I like the many contrasting colors you've incorporated. Really makes the subject stand out. The atmosphere and compositioon are also well executed. Great job and keep it up (^-^)!

I want to play DOA4! Heheh.

Aw man, thanks for all those awesome comments. I really appreciate all the encouraging words you give me on all my artwork. Thanks so much! Heh heh...yeah, it is pretty colourful.

yeah, u spelled it right
Nice pic! I know video games costumes are so hard to draw... I tried to draw Da Qiao from DW and it's SO hard...
But really, really nice job!!! like the hair colour!!!

AyaneShinobi In reply to Yurumi [2006-01-24 03:23:31 +0000 UTC]

Oh, so I did spell "Happy Birthday" in Deutsch right? Thanks for letting me know. Yeah, video game costumes can be a challenge to draw, especially with only so much reference. It's easier when I have the artbooks to them (for example, I have the books to the Xenosaga games), but other than that...I can only rely on screenshots & a few online reference.

You've drawn Da Qiao? I'll have to go check out your gallery now. I hadn't realized you were into the Dynasty Warriors game series too.

Yurumi In reply to AyaneShinobi [2006-01-24 12:33:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'm SUCH a fan from DW but I've got no artbook, I inspired myself from this website -> [link]

Oh, yueying.net is a great place for DW references. That is actually where I got my DW references from (for artwork & cosplay). Which DW is your favourite? I like DW5 the best, just because it's a very hard game to play. DW4 is great too.

same as you!!! i luuuuuuuv fighting games!!! my fav kingdom is the wu kingdom, what about you?

AyaneShinobi In reply to Yurumi [2006-01-28 00:04:10 +0000 UTC]

The Wu Kingdom is the best to me. I'm glad to see they are your favourite too. To me, Wu has the coolest (and best looking) people, as well as the best fighters. I really like the new character Ling Tong...he's fast & strong! *_*

As for Shu, I like them a little bit. There are a pretty few good folks in that Kingdom, like Ma Chao, Xing Cai, Guan Ping, & Zhao Yun. Xing is my favourite lady in the game.

Wei...there are only three pretty people in that Kingdom: Zhen Ji, Cao Pi, & Zhang He. Cao Pi is a brat.

I think EXACTLY the same!!! I made the Wu as a basketball team!!! XDD I'm not as good as you, but tell me what you think, there are too few DW fans out there XDD

This picture came out lovely! She looks great, and I love the choice of background. Fuji, sakura, and a Japanese garden... so romantic~ XD if only I had that talent with backgrounds. I really struggle with them lately.

AyaneShinobi In reply to lizabee [2006-01-24 03:21:09 +0000 UTC]

The background...I had such a time trying to figure out what to do in the background. Eventually I just decided I'd do a Japanese theme & kind of made it all up. ^_^ Romantic background? Now that I look at it, it is a pretty scene, especially with the flowering cherry trees.

Oh yeah, thanks for the great comments, too!

Thanks for the comment, NinjaKasumi~! Well actually, I don't have an Xbox 360, but I was lucky enough to play on it just recently. I wish I had the actual money to buy the system...it's so much money, it's unbelievable. ;_;

Thanks for being the 1st commentator & also for the wonderful comments. I am glad you like it. =^_^=

You wish you could play DOA? Do you mean DOA4 or just the games in general?

Xenosnake In reply to AyaneShinobi [2006-01-26 03:08:51 +0000 UTC]

Any DOA, but I can't seem to find it around here...XP

AyaneShinobi In reply to Xenosnake [2006-01-26 21:12:38 +0000 UTC]

Oh, you have never played the DOA games because you can't find them? Where do you live that such games aren't sold? You can find them online & if you trust eBay [sellers], you can get the games for cheap prices. They are fun games.

DOA Ultimate is a remake of DOA2, so DOA2 isn't really a recommendation from me. DOA 3 is good & DOA4 is also good (so far from what I got to play, which wasn't much.)

Most of the popular games in Philippines sold out so fast that I never had the chance to buy any...XP Thanks anyway...^_^
