Recreated a water warrior I designed from when I was around 10.

So backstory: my parents decided to move out of the house I grew up in and found a lot of my old artwork.

In particular, I found this "book" I don't remember creating filled with a bunch of warriors I designed, and thought it would be fun to cover them now over a decade later!

Look at that masterful binding job

Since I started with the water warrior, I'll just continue from here.

There's plenty more so if you guys enjoy them I can finish the series. Even if you don't I probably will, this was a ton of fun.

FP Edit: Thanks you all so much for the positive feedback and funny comments! Hopefully I'll have more up by next week, and I get it, they'll all work out their legs this time.

Na-NANI??!!???! Y-You're a Stand User?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Gem Warrior needs a dildo sword

I'm pretty sure I've met all the "warriors" in the gay club. Gem prefers his middle name though "Mark".

I was thinking you might have been questioning some life style decisions in your youth with that gem guy

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I was just thinking that I used to make drawings just like this, but just stopped. Now I see what I could have become...

I love this. I love that you made a book with warriors. And it's fun seeing you interpret them with new and varied designs.

9 years ago | Likes 758 Dislikes 1

The originals are all better than I can draw now. You can tell that you had an existing talent to cultivate

But why do they all look like BDSM aliens?

Dude have you even seen 80s/90s animated adventure shows? Dudes in underwear and belts everywhere!

Because that's how children draw

9 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 0

yeah about that... i don't remember drawing gimps when i was a kid :)

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

That makes me really happy. I tried to stay true to the original spirit of the warriors, but it was impossible to not add new interpretation

9 years ago | Likes 221 Dislikes 1

sure, you added new stuff, but what would the original artist think?!

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They all look cool but man, gem warrior sure did grow up weird. Looks like that dudes into some weird stuffs.

9 years ago | Likes 62 Dislikes 0

Ha! I was thinking the same thing. He's got kind of a gimp vibe. Still excellent work though!

9 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Yea the way he's standing kinda slumped over isn't helping his cause lmao

Very cool! Do you draw professionally?

9 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 2

Nope, I'm studying political science :) but I appreciate you thinking I could!

9 years ago | Likes 30 Dislikes 1

I'm no psychic, but a I can see you becoming a political cartoonist from all this.

You think Dungeon and Masked Warrior has time for leg days? NO! Everyday is Chest Day.

I just like to think they were drawn as if through the perspective of a fish eye lens.

Shorter legs have better balance, an important warrior trait!

They are warriors, not runners.

We are warriors. Not merchants!

Thank you so much! And true- I tried following the dimensions of the original warriors but I def exaggerated the hulking upper bodies
