Description

Whew, is this what being on a mental roll feels like? I mean, I've been going over old oneshots of mine and finishing em, have finished another chapter for Chrysanthemum, and I'm starting to write for chapter 11 of Snow... Not to mention all the design fairies that pop into my head once I think on a character I want to upgrade in some way (Ether, for example).
Well, LOOKIT WHO'S HERE, it's 18+ Shuyri~! And I mean 18+ as in how old he is upon gaining such a form. xP

Now, I realized recently how long it's been since I last drew Shuyri properly. Somewhere near his 16th B-Day, yeah?
Well, I skipped some years. Oops. xD

So, I decided to experiment a bit with this piece, since the inspiration for drawing Shuyri again was seeing somewhat see-through harem pants. Why the hell Shuyri popped in my head when I saw that, iono, but I kinda feel glad that it did. xP

As an adult, Shuyri gains full mastery of his Shadow abilities; only when he's an adult does his Guardian status fully mature. Even if he's the son of two very powerful-by-their-own-rights demons (especially considering his father was a high-ranking badger demon), he doesn't display his full potential until he unlocks it simply by aging. This partially plays into his "upgrade" motif, in that the older he becomes, the more his powers manifest, to the point that his clothes start warping and updating the more his Shadow Skills grows. :3
Heeee, but I love the little lightning curls he's got there~. Call it inspiration from the storm that just ended a while ago, but a Metal/Shadow type like Shuyri... Well, a Thunder Magic Affinity wouldn't be too shocking, right? (/shot for incidental pun) xD

Other than upgrading the little ribbons he used to have on his outfit into HUGE Lunar-style ones, the multiple bone growths he has all over his body have become either fragmented (/points to the bone 'gem' on his right shoulder and on his throat) or have grown thicker (points to the arm ones), though he can still elongate them regardless of their form. Surprisingly, this stops paining him once he reaches his Guardianship status. Consider it a resistance to pain, or simply getting out of growing pains, but his tonfa-like bone extensions become a LOT more useful once the power of Shadows and Metal Magic strengthen him.

Sadly, his tail doesn't gain any poofiness. Somehow, I think that sort of upgrade is more fitting to Kage or Etheram especially. Derp? xD

His extra abilities also allow him to change his physical form a bit. So, his feet can become either animal-like or human-like, as seen here. I suppose it's easier not to get your toes crushed with teenier feet? Seems like something Shuyri would worry about for no reason, after all... xD

Dunno what to really do for his vest. Planning on doing a gradient-esque shading for a lot of his clothes, so maybe I can put textures like stars on it? xP
Speaking of clothes, the basis behind those Jackie Chan-like shoes is really simple. When I was in Peru and made a FD Mikage plushie with my aunt, we used his school uniform's design. When she showed me how to do shoes, she did that style. So, seeing as Mikage never uses that kind of footwear (with his sort of fighting style being what it is), I decided that a arms-based martial artist like Shuyri might enjoy the freedom a bit. :3

This lineart is V2 of this piece, btw. V1 just has the regular eyelash style instead. :3

I've been really tempted to draw Kage's upgrade/Ice Spirit Form recently... Maybe I'll try a different colouring style while I'm at it, then. :D

And if anyone noticed my revised Sig, I realized that it's too easy to copy, and looks too plain to boot. In addition, I've neglected to use my red wyvern insignia... So, I incorporated a few elements of that simple design into it. It's a lot nicer than my usual markings, at least. x3

Anyone else think Shuyri's trying too hard to look like a generic superhero here? (/shot) xD

... Maybe I should publically open requests soon? I'm up for art trades, just putting that out there. xD
