Dual Wielding

Description

The titles are so good today... (/sarcasm)

Anyways, I tried a new shading style here. Do ya'll like it or not? It allows me to be lazier, to an extent, as it's simply one layer overlaying the other coloured layers... But I DID put effort in it, and I had to edit it a lot regardless of what I did.
Notably, the eyes, the swords and the hair. Whaddya think? :3

It's less notable in the swords, but yeah... I had to shade the eyes and hair alone... Well, the hair has two shading layers, technically. So, uh... Yeah. Makes it look notably darker, at least. x3

This was mentioned sometime ago, as Kage is a bit different when he protects Zaelestis (this being the outfit he wears when he does so).
I like that this is probably the second time I've reversed the colours on his normal outfit. (Hint, first time deals with Yoru. :3)
I ALSO like that he gains a scar that's basically the mirror of Yoru's, only larger. Something had to give? xD

Eh... Well, I'mma go to bed. Tired. x3

I missed shading red... x3
Ah, and Kage has always dual-wielded, before ya ask. His Silver Guard allowed for such a thing, although it wasn't always dual-swords he had...
And, since they're both katanas, Kage has to fight in a different manner. To be truthful, Reishiki trained him with bladed tonfa-like weapons, not swords. So, Kage reverts to that style of battle whenever he uses two significantly long blades. x3
Hm... What else was I gonna say... ._.U

Btw, that alt outfit I showed ya'll so long ago that dealt with Zae? There was two versions. This one combines aspects from both designs.
Shoulda released the second version, ah well... xD

Hey it might be a good idea to try and make the swords look more like metal at this point since you're starting to deal with texture and surface shading properties.

Shading metal is like shading chrome.
