The raging golden tempest...

Digging through my stuff in my HDD, I found this old doodle of my Gensoumaden Saiyuki original character - Chiho Mikana or 'Mika' for short. I'm very fond of her though I rarely draw her anymore nowadays. She's probably my only OC with really long hair (before Rikyou came along). Don't know why I like her so much; I just do. She's fun to draw and colour (more so than Hirari, believe it or not). I've cleaned this up a bit but you'll definitely still notice the outdated style.





This is the latest drawing of her to date (either 2008 or 09, not sure). I made changes to the design in this one. I still have the initial drawings of her at my dA account if you're curious to see how she looked like back then. Her theme colours are gold/red/brown and the tattered scarf and long skirt is sort of her trademark look. xD Since I created her as a match for Son Goku (who I absolutely adore), I purposely made certain things in her designs similar to his. She wears a power limiter (akin to Goku's forehead circlet) around her left upper arm though she keeps it covered with bandages or a glove most of the time. Her weapon is a long staff with narrow, sword-like blades at each end. I think it has a name, but that escapes me at the moment. She's a heretic & a half-breed (specifically, a mixture of demonic and goddess blood) and bears a mark on her forehead to indicate this. The 'Gaiden' version of herself is named Kiome, and died after performing an uber noble deed of self-sacrifice to save the world. Lol xD. Oh, and she also has a berserk mode where she transforms into a black-haired, sharp clawed, bloodlust killer.
