I`m in such acreative mood, thanks to Saint Seiya! Good series. I like how they draw legs shins to the Saints (... I`m weird.). It made want to do an action pose, which turned out to be Rado.

Rado looks pretty cool huh? He looks something like this in his teens and through the DragonBall GT timeline. Outfit is mostly inspired by Sanosuke from Rurouni Kenshin.
I finally got some point what his name would mean in Namek (I`ve left his design so unfinished! Screw me!). You know, sort of thing. Literally his name would mean "golden heart". Poor Rado, his mom wanted him to have a gorgeous name...

I think it became good. Luckily pictures from Saint Seiya characters are clear so I got a good model. Inspired by the classic Seiya pose. There is some parts of it that I don`t like, but most of the image is good. And I like how I did the energy to his fingertips. It is quite clear to me that he can do his dad`s special move. Perhaps he learned it in secret? Don`t know. Yet I like too how colorful he became. (white, few shades of blue, orange, red, gray... more colors than Diriel and Piccolo wear.) Still I don`t know is his torso too short or not.

Heck, here it is anyway. Entirely Photoshop and optical mouse `cause computer won`t let my tablet work... Go Rado, go!

+ One little question to you, people. What kind of voice would be good to Rado? It`s funnier to do pictures when you can imagine them as an anime in your mind speaking and moving. I just don`t know: Would he sound like Hayashibara, his mom`s voice? Piccolo`s seiyuu Furukawa? Or should I get him a totally different seiyuu? Suggestions are more than welcome.
