I was going to put this into the scraps but I liked it enough to submit it as a deviation.

This is my second attempt at Oekaki. It was still painful to colour with. It's not very polished, I know. Colours bleed from everywhere too! The fact that all colours and shadings were done one the same layer didn't help that either.

So, quick question. Who knows this guy? Where does he come from? I'm almost tempted to give away a free sketch for the first one that correctly answers it. Scratch that, I'm dead serious. (It'll be an excuse for me to get to drawing) XP
I'll post the answer in 24 hours or so if you're curious.

EDIT: Alright, time's up. I kinda knew it would be too obscure; I only saw one fan art of him (none of the other characters though). None on deviantART (until this one XP), obviously.

Taiga comes from a trading card game for the DS named Juushinden (獣神伝) by Konami. He's the rival of the main Juushin, Gao. The game probably didn't do that well since it required an adapter (the Magic Reader) in order to play it (the cards were physical).

I do not own the game. I just happen to like the design of this guy. I was hoping to buy some pack of cards just to look at the pictures of the characters but they happen to be sold out at Play-Asia. Oh well. I'm more hoping for an art book so I can have a look at the upgraded form. I'm such a kid, haha.
