Happy Sixth DeviantArt Anniversary to me, ladies and gentlemen. I know I was supposed to post this yesterday. However, as you can tell, InuAya month continued to be in full swing. This is also evident in the fanart collage I have created when I started InuAya month two years ago and continued to observe April as the month dedicated to one of my most beloved OTPs ever. Therefore, I invite you to sit back, relax, take a stroll down memory lane with me, and celebrate the six years I have been here at DeviantArt. There is no doubt that my time on DeviantArt has been filled with ups, downs, fans, trolls, friends, enemies, and a whole bunch of netizens present here and outside DeviantArt for better and for worse. However, one attribute remains evergreen which is my passion and devotion to Inuyasha x Ayame as my cherished one true pairing not only in the Inuyasha franchise as well as all of anime but also in all of fandom. I have been a devoted partisan to this pairing since I was a teenager because I believed that there was potential for Inuyasha and Ayame to be a mighty power couple strong enough to defeat a horde of opponents in martial arts tournaments and protect their family and fellow tribespeople from invaders. Even in my teens, I was never satisfied with the canon pairings Inuyasha and Ayame received. I have already made my reasons clear as to why their respective canon pairings never worked in my eyes, even if the canon devotees do not want to listen or think I am bashing the canon pairings. Nevertheless, I chose to exercise my right to uphold Inuyasha and Ayame as one of my favorite power couples ever. Throughout my time drawing Inuyasha x Ayame fanart and delving into discourses in terms of the potential they have as a power couple, I have been toying with ideas in store for them. One of the ideas I had in store was my Mighty Morphin Inurangers AU headcanon. No doubt did I enjoy casting Inuyasha as the Red Tyrannosaurus Inuranger version of Tommy Oliver and Jason Lee Scott and Ayame as the Yellow Saber-Toothed Tiger Inuranger version of Trini Kwan and Aisha Campbell. While I always insist that Inuyasha embodies Tommy’s long-lasting legacy as the face of the Power Rangers and Jason’s original status as the Red Ranger leader and Ayame encapsulates Trini’s courageous compassion, Aisha’s warm fierceness, and even Tanya Sloan’s unstoppable graciousness, Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s power couple dynamics are reminiscent of the following Red Ranger and Yellow Ranger couples, especially in the Saban era. Inuyasha and Ayame possess Eric’s and Taylor’s military fierceness, Leo’s and Maya’s warrior strength, and Andros’s and Ashley’s warmly unconditional love with fortitude and glory as an Inuranger couple. My InuAya fanart collage illustrates that there is one other AU headcanon that propelled my admiration and fascination for Inuyasha and Ayame as a power couple. That is my anime martial arts tournament AU headcanon where a lot of the anime characters I grew up watching on television form teams of seven and possess trademark martial arts. The idea was born from my admiration of fighting games and real-life martial arts tournaments like Street Fighter, Tekken, King of Fighters, Mortal Kombat, Pride FC, UFC, WWE, TNA, and K1. Inuyasha and Ayame are the power couple who combine magnificent muscles, stupendous super strength, and formidable fierceness to dominate the competition. Inuyasha’s main martial art is Ancient Greek Wrestling with a background in Pankration, Ssireum, and Combat Sambo akin to Zangief and Guile, while Ayame’s main martial art is Muay Thai with a background in Kyuk Too Ki, Pradal Serey, and Muay Lao akin to Joe Higashi and Benimaru Nikaido. Given their respective fighting styles, Inuyasha and Ayame would end up winning the gold in every martial arts tournament they are in. What has always sold me about Inuyasha and Ayame as a power couple is the combination of mighty combat prowess and unconditional empowerment. I have always insisted that Inuyasha’s bulging biceps, alabaster abs, tremendous triceps, pulverizing pectorals, dominating deltoids, and crushing calf muscles complement Ayame’s furious fists, fleet feet, knockout knees, eviscerating elbows, and sharp shins to win any and every martial arts tournament. This is especially true when Inuyasha’s magnificent muscles and stupendous super-strength propel his double axe handles, tracheal grip chokes, camel clutches, German suplexes, fireman’s carries, elbow drops, and neck cranks join forces with Ayame’s Superman punches, uppercuts, jabs, hooks, flying knees, elbow slashes, and roundhouse kicks. Thus, Inuyasha’s magnificent muscles as a wrestler, bodybuilder, and weightlifter specializing in Ancient Greek Wrestling, Pankration, Ssireum, and Kapu Kuialua combine exceptionally with Ayame’s limbering limbs as a Nak Muay Ying Farang specializing in Muay Thai, Kyuk Too Ki, and Pradal Serey. Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s powerful combat prowess also has an effect on their progeny and family as a whole. I have always envisioned Inuyasha and Ayame to have an unbreakable marriage under Ayame’s grandfather’s blessings while they were still young and grow together into their old age, especially with having several children. They even end up having fourteen children, consisting of seven super-strong sons and seven determined daughters. Masataka, Masaya, and Masaru are the eldest InuAya sons who are virile weightlifters and wrestlers. Kenta and Keita are the second eldest InuAya sons who are magnificently muscular bodybuilders and wrestlers. Kazuhiko and Kaito are the third eldest InuAya sons who are handsome fitness models and wrestlers. Kiriko is the fourth-born InuAya daughter who is a fiery Muay Thai maven. Momoko, Makoto, and Mikoto are the fifth-born InuAya daughters who are tough Muay Lao winners. Maya and Minako are the sixth-born InuAya daughters who are fierce Pradal Serey champions. Meika is the seventh-born InuAya daughter who is a determined Dutch Kickboxing prizefighter. As their children grew and got married to Hakkaku’s, Ginta’s, and Shunran’s children, Inuyasha and Ayame also ended up being just as happy to be grandparents to their children’s children. Therefore,…

Happy Fifth-Year DeviantArt Anniversary to me, everybody, it’s your old pal Antoni here feeling elated as ever to have spent five years on DeviantArt. Let the gratitude and the love commence because I am abundant of these for all of you who have kept up with me for the past five years that I have been here on DeviantArt. I know I have been slower this year pumping out more InuAya month content, which the nineteen remaining submissions will be released most likely next week and this coming May. Nevertheless, I want to use my Fifth-Year DeviantArt Anniversary Art Summary as an honorary InuAya month submission, especially since I will turn 31 years old next week, thus having me collect thirty-one art pieces that resonate with me and bearing a common theme which is my Splendid Seven AU headcanon with special focus on Inuyasha x Ayame as my OTP for life. Although I specialize in my Splendid Seven AU Headcanon consisting of not only Inuyasha and Ayame but also Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran whether in terms of them as the Mighty Morphin Inurangers or participants in the world’s most prominent martial arts tournaments, the cornerstone of my AU headcanon has always been the strong romantic relationship between Inuyasha and Ayame who are the definition of an unbreakable power couple. Sesshoumaru’s and Shuran’s formidability as a platonic duo of comrades may be astounding, considering Sesshoumaru’s lethalness as a Mixed Martial Artist and Shuran’s raw power as a Professional Wrestler. Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s brotherhood may be legendary, with Sesshoumaru the Mixed Martial Artist being the Ryu to Inuyasha the Pankratiast’s Ken as a duo of powerful dog Yokai brothers. Shuran’s, Hakkaku’s, and Ginta’s brotherhood may be grand, especially since Shuran’s bravado in Professional Wrestling serves as a compliment to Hakkaku’s durability in Muay Boran and Ginta’s perseverance in Lethwei. Inuyasha’s, Hakkaku’s, and Ginta’s unbreakable friendship as a trio of best buddies for life may be phenomenal, thus bringing Inuyasha’s strength in Pankration, Hakkaku’s stealth in Muay Boran, and Ginta’s stamina in Lethwei. Ayame’s and Shunran’s sisterhood may be outstanding, given Ayame’s power in Kyuk Too Ki and Shunran’s precision in Shaolin Kung Fu propelling their strikes to be lethally painful. Hakkaku and Ginta may have a beautiful romantic relationship with Shunran while jettisoning Hakkaku’s and Ginta’s skills in Muay Boran and Lethwei to work fabulously with Shunran’s skills in Shaolin Kung Fu. However, Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s undeniably formidable and beautifully unparalleled romantic dynamic as a power couple remains the gold-medal standard in my eyes. Overlooking Inuyasha’s mighty muscles in Pankration and Ayame’s furious fists in Kyuk Too Ki, they brim with unconditional love, noble allegiance, and immeasurable respect for each other. Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s might and power as husband and wife are the glue that holds The Splendid Seven together whether in competition against stronger opponents or standing together as a united family. Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s exceptionally romantic dynamics as a husband-and-wife duo transfer nicely to their family dynamics as father and mother to their fourteen children, consisting of seven strong sons and seven fierce daughters. Inuyasha’s muscular virility as a champion Pankratiast with a bodybuilder’s musculature, the Nemean Lion’s ferociousness, Heracles’s strength, and Theseus’s manliness and Ayame’s lethal fierceness as a prizefighter Kyuk Too Ki warrior with a lean musculature, a boxer’s furious fists, a Nak Muay’s devastating limbs, and a Taekwondo practitioner’s unabashed speed are the hallmarks that have solidified Inuyasha and Ayame to be the mighty power couple they have been for twenty-eight years. Those hallmarks are also evident in their children, with their sons being as strong, muscular, and handsome as their father and their daughters being as fierce, determined, and fearless as their mother. With 41-year-old Inuyasha being the strong and muscular Alpha Male king of the family and 38-year-old Ayame being the fearlessly courageous and physically formidable warrior queen of the family, they have certainly raised their children to be the best fighters and individuals they can be. 28-year-olds Masataka, Masaya, and Masaru are the handsome muscle triplet sons specializing in Combat Sambo who display virility, toughness, determination, and valiance in the face of battle while looking dashing in doing so. 27-year-olds Kenta and Keita are the manly muscle twin sons specializing in Kapu Kuialua who love to flaunt their bulging muscles to everybody who fancies them and love to give their enemies a good throttle to the nines. 26-year-olds Kazuhiko and Kaito are the dashing muscle twin sons specializing in Luta Livre Esportiva who combine muscular virility with valiant courage to overcome any obstacle they find themselves in. 25-year-old Kiriko is the tomboyish Amazon warrior daughter specializing in Shoot Boxing who is the paradigm of determination and perseverance in all of her endeavors as a fighter and as a woman. 24-year-olds Momoko, Makoto, and Mikoto are the rowdy prizefighter triplet daughters specializing in Dutch Kickboxing who capture the essence of fighting spirits with all of their bodies, minds, and souls. 23-year-olds Maya and Minako are the rough and tumble fighter twin daughters who represent fearlessness and fierceness in every challenge they encounter. 22-year-old Meika is the tough cookie combatant daughter who despises remaining idle and always works hard on her skills as a fighter and encounters all of her endeavors with openness and high interest. With Inuyasha’s, Ayame’s, and their children’s strengths combined, they define what it is like to be a strong family through thick and thin. As I am about to approach 31 years old, my only resolve is to never give up my love for Inuyasha and Ayame as a mighty power couple as well as their equally mighty family because the passion I have for my number one romantic pairing for life and the family that I created for them can never be stopped. The same can be said about Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran as a septet of powerful Yokai martial artists specializing in different fighting styles. There is never a day that I want…
Hey, everybody. Antoni here. I have just hit a new DeviantArt milestone, as I have reached exactly 800 watchers. Since I hit this number of watchers, I thought it would be nice to put forty of my favorite art pieces on display for all of you, wonderful people, as 800 is also divisible by that number. If you know me, I enjoy going further than the norm. I am very grateful to all of you who have embarked on this exciting journey with me on DeviantArt. While there have been bumps and turbulence along the way, I am very glad to have gotten to know you and express the things I enjoy and am passionate about through my artwork. Whether it is The Splendid Seven being a powerful yet loving septet of Yokai warriors, especially with my number one beloved OTP of all time Inuyasha x Ayame leading the helm with their strength, sexiness, sinuousness, and superbness as well as their wonderful family, The Animated Jungle Brothers, The Comic Jungle Brothers or RobRae’s and Zutara’s Double Dates, I always feel inspired and motivated to create content for all of you. So, to all of my 800 wonderful DeviantArt watchers, please give yourselves a round of applause for being absolutely awesome. The Splendid Seven may have started with my undying devotion and love to Inuyasha and Ayame as my number one OTP of all time to the point where I drew their fan-children and built on their unfailing strength as a powerful family. In fact, I made Inuyasha and Ayame have a total of fourteen children, consisting of seven muscular sons named Masataka, Masaya, Masaru, Kenta, Keita, Kazuhiko, and Kaito and seven fierce daughters named Kiriko, Momoko, Makoto, Mikoto, Maya, Minako, and Meika, who I hope to draw a lot more of. Nevertheless, adding in Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran proved to be a fun and interesting endeavor because of how superbly their individual strengths as combatants can transform into formidable collectivity against enemies more powerful and more vicious than them. Even as I continue to adorate Inuyasha x Ayame as my number one OTP of all time because of how Inuyasha’s magnificent muscles complement Ayame’s formidable fierceness, thus making them a super strong and stunningly sexy couple, I can never neglect Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s virile manliness as a duo of strong brothers, Shuran’s, Hakkaku’s, and Ginta’s terrific chemistry as a trio of best brothers, Ayame’s and Shunran’s fabulous flexibility as a duo of gorgeous sisters, Sesshoumaru’s and Shuran’s fortitude as great comrades, Inuyasha’s equally strong brotherhood with Hakkaku and Ginta, and even Hakkaku’s and Ginta’s adorable lovability with Shunran. The best ideas I have made for The Splendid Seven were having them be the Mighty Morphin Inurangers in their teen years, thus donning the Power Rangers signature suits and fighting against Naraku’s monsters and demons doing so, and be involved in martial arts tournaments akin to UFC, Pride FC, Tekken, Street Fighter, and many other fighting video games as well as martial arts tournament events I could barely name off the top of my head as they reach adulthood. The latter idea of having Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran involved in martial arts tournaments is one I continue to have the most fun with because of the various martial arts I chose for each Yokai warrior, with Sesshoumaru having Mixed Martial Arts, Shuran having Professional Wrestling, Inuyasha having Pankration, Hakkaku having Muay Boran, Ginta having Lethwei, Ayame having Taekwondo, and Shunran having Shaolin Kung Fu, as well as the spectacle of having seven Yokai martial artists unite, use their amazing strength as well as infallible combat prowess, fight against more powerful opponents, and win the acclaim of the audience while being honorable martial artists. Even better is when these seven martial artists train with the fighting game mentors that I have provided them with and even spar with the Saban-Era Power Rangers who I have chosen them to be their best friends for life as well as closest sparring partners, with Tommy Oliver, Jason Lee Scott, Eric Myers, Rocky DeSantos, Adam Park, Taylor Earhardt, and Jen Scotts being top of mind as the best people the Splendid Seven would consider as their best friends and greatest people they have had the chance to train with. My love for Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran uniting as The Splendid Seven will never fail, and it will last for an eternity. George of the Jungle, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli uniting as a quartet of super strong, magnificently muscular, laudably lovable, and ferociously fierce jungle brothers will always leave me elated and inspired. There is always something phenomenal about having four muscular and powerful jungle warrior brothers being raised superbly by their father Chief Keewazi, who has seen his four precious sons grow from rambunctious boys to tough adolescent young men to the fierce warrior kings they have become. Since they also have Mufasa, Simba, and Kaj by their side as part of the family, given their strong affiliation with lions and leopards, it also makes sense for George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli to use their muscles, fists, feet, claws, fangs, combat prowess, and animal ferociousness to overcome their enemies as well as be the feral hunters that they are. The brothers who truly embrace being feral are, of course, Basuli and Tarzan who would wrestle and roar at each other butt naked for sparring purposes, hunt naked while using their claws, fangs, muscles, and strength to overcome their prey whether they be antelope, wild boar, deer, or zebra; and smear their prey’s blood all over their buff, nude bodies to scare away poachers and looters by brutally pouncing them. Furthermore, George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli revel in bodybuilding posedowns whether in the nude or in super skimpy g-strings, skinny-dipping in the river, and cuddling with each other like the close brothers that they are all while touching each other’s beautifully bulging muscles. Bulging muscles are not…
Hey, everybody. Antoni here. I have just hit a new DeviantArt milestone, as I have reached exactly 700 watchers. Since I hit this number of watchers, I thought I would increase the number of favourite pieces of fan art to thirty-five, as 700 is also divisible by that number, and I love to go slightly further than the norm. I not only want to dedicate my gratitude to all of my 700 watchers on DeviantArt but also to FinsFlipper, Teracles, Ares-the-war-god, JungleCaptor, Sonion, Geioji, FabioRosado, Verona7881, LorDeimos, Mavelle-Ealenyr, crows-blade, Lyroa, WildGirl91, FemaleNerd451, Atara-parakitty, Kabolki, Leonidafremov, MyBurningEyes, AwesomeBlossomPossum, Halfa-Sleep, Spongey444, Crystalstone, LaceyPowerPuffGirl, JeanneWu, DarthxErik, mehlikescookiesXD, itsKayI, shadowpiratemonkey7, ROCuevas, Zeiyuu, Buddyjack91, Klaustrofovia, NinSega, Goomuin, Fistron, Keili14, HeSerpenty, Takeuchi15, Popokino, RyantheLionKing, Jokeraf20, Soniclifetime, SweetFantasyDreams, NostalgicChills, Bambysocute, KaumiThomason, AniChap, Layerth, jpbelow, Asurama, tejedora, LMPandora, MSKM2001, transformerfan417, xiRedKarrieix, JennyGirlArt, TenchuuYoukai, StrayF0rk, CINNAMON-STITCH, Queen-Zelda, Nekonym, TempestsEye, LunaTopaz, jstq, IvoryMoonchild, Detective88, Tito-Mosquito, Reenigrl, shakespearemelody, Noxeri, AngelDearest, MandyButtercup, TheRealKingSusiePen, Amity-Hsu, PROLion3, JiggzODonnell, and TheSuperSaiyan10 who celebrated their birthdays ranging from two weeks ago until today. So, I wish you a lot of love and joy on your special days and in your lives as artists and as people. Words cannot begin to describe how blessed, grateful, and elated I am to have reached a new DeviantArt milestone, reaching 700 DeviantArt watchers. For that, I am using this opportunity to share with you my collage of thirty-five of my most favourite drawings I have done thus far, which represents the gist of what I specialise in. Whether I produce content relating to The Splendid Seven, The Animated Jungle Brothers, The Comic Jungle Brothers or RobRae’s and Zutara’s Double Dates among others, I have always been ready to pump out content for all of you wonderful people. The Splendid Seven started out with my immense love for Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s passionate, intimate, sexy, and gorgeous love as a mighty power couple and for Ginta’s and Shunran’s lovable, adorable, beautiful, and calming romance as a lovely power couple and flourished into my fascination with Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran as a close-knit, united, and strong family of Yokai warriors. I always perceived them as a well-balanced group combining Sesshoumaru’s stern warrior mindset and lethal combat prowess, Shuran’s brute strength and potent determination, Inuyasha’s fierce courage and muscular formidability, Hakkaku’s relentless speed and quick reflexes, Ginta’s accurate timing and sheer willpower, Ayame’s fearless determination and staunch valour, and Shunran’s hearty warmth and shining genuineness, considering all of these traits constitute the hallmark of their great awesomeness as a family. The possibilities I have for these seven Yokai warriors are indubitably endless and rich whether I have them as rambunctious young children, slightly older children being in a 90s setting with Roc Emerson as their teacher, older children furthering their training in the martial arts with a Jason David Frank expy in Sensei Jason, the Mighty Morphin Inurangers which is The Splendid Seven version of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Jungle Warlords or involved in various martial arts tournaments, which the latter is starting to become my most favourite idea for them. With the idea of Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran involved in martial arts tournaments as a powerful team of Yokai martial artists, I could configure the fighting styles I have for them, with Sesshoumaru being a Shotokan Karateka who incorporates Jujitsu and Hapkido, Shuran being a Sambo and Vale Tudo practitioner/Sumo wrestler, Inuyasha being a Kyokushin Karateka who incorporates Judo and Taekwondo, Hakkaku being a Muay Thai/Pradal Serey practitioner, Ginta being a Lethwei/Sanda practitioner, Ayame being a Kickboxer and Koppojutsu practitioner, and Shunran being a Capoeira and Shaolin Kung Fu practitioner. This is especially considering that I have been a huge player of Tekken, King of Fighter, and Street Fighter as a child, and I thought it would be a great pleasure to incorporate specific characters from these games to be their mentors. Moreover, it would be a pleasure to have their progeny just as involved in the martial arts as they are. I would even be so happy to have The Splendid Seven have crossover friendships with Jin Kazama, Hwoarang, Steve Fox, Baki Hanma, Ryoma Sakamoto, Takeshi Sendo, Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa, Ichise, Ippo Makunouchi, Kiba, Megumi Minami, Ran, Kaoru Ichinose, and Cheza among others, and I would be totally ecstatic to have them together. The love I have for this group of seven Yokai warriors with attitude, guts, and stamina knows no bounds, and I am really happy to make them the cornerstone of my content. What happens when you combine George of the Jungle, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli? You have the strongest quartet of handsome jungle brothers in not only all of Africa but also the entire world. Having a strong father like Chief Keewazi to make them grow into the powerful warriors that they are is also great, plus having a leopardman brother such as Kaj, a lion brother such as Simba, a lion father such as Mufasa, and a caveman training buddy in Grunch would make their growth as warriors fully realised, considering how they can use their magnificent muscles, iron claws, and steel fangs to defeat their enemies in feral glory. Even better is when Basuli and Tarzan are happily married to their favourite Greek demigod of all time Hercules as well as having Namontack and Kocoum also as their husbands, while George and Maugli are respectively married to Namontack and Kocoum as well as having Hercules be their loving husband too. It is not just bulging muscles, sharp fangs, iron claws, radical wrestling moves, and furious fists that define George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli as brothers but also the filial love they have for their father Chief Keewazi and, most of all, the romantically intimate love they have for Hercules, Namontack, and Kocoum. In fact, I would even love to George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli in jungle mixed martial arts attire, especially considering that their fighting styles are a combination of Pankration, wrestling, boxing, Muay Thai, Kapu Kuialua,…
Happy Four-Year DeviantArt Anniversary to me, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and artists of all ages. It’s your old pal Antoni here, and I am very elated, happy, blessed, and joyous to have spent four years on DeviantArt making mostly fan art-related content for all of you. I know I was supposed to have released this on the actual day of my four-year DeviantArt anniversary, which was five days ago, but I had a lot of errands to attend to ranging from starting my new semester in university to pumping out more Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya month content. Nevertheless, when it comes closing out the chaotic yet exciting decade in my life known as my twenties, I figured that I would compile thirty pieces of the work that I have done which have reflected me as a content creator, an artist, and as a person. I have selected pieces of fan art that revolve around my Inuyasha AU headcanon The Splendid Seven starring Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran and featuring Ichise, Ran, Kiba, and Cheza respectively from Texhnolyze and Wolf’s Rain as their best friends for life; my animated jungle brother AU headcanon starring George of the Jungle, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli and featuring Namontack, Kocoum, and Hercules as their husbands; my comic jungle brother AU headcanon starring the Dell Comics version of Tarzan, Kavandavanda, Malb’yat, and Arok and featuring Conan of Cimmeria, Ka-Zar, and Zula as their best friends for life; and Robin x Raven as well as Zuko x Katara who are my number one OTPs respectively from Teen Titans 2003 and Avatar: The Last Airbender on a double date. Therefore, the theme I have may be more than just having muscular warrior men flaunting their bulging muscles, but also the importance of strong family ties, unconditional love, and boundless allegiance to each other. The Splendid Seven: Seven Powerful Yokai Warriors, One Tightly Knit Family The Splendid Seven is at the forefront of my fan art-related content because I always believed that Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran deserved more genuine and animosity-free relationships, more formidability and unity as a septet of powerful Yokai warriors, and, most of all, a much better show than the one they had in canon. Besides, the less said about three certain pairings I despise the most which Sesshoumaru might have theoretically found himself in but Inuyasha and Ayame were not as fortunate to have ended up in, Inuyasha’s three fake friends and one abusive life partner who I truly abominate, the wasted potential the likes of Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran had as characters, and the animosity permeating between Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha the better. With every rewatch I have endeavoured myself with Inuyasha, I cannot help but keep reminding myself that Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran deserve so much better. Hence, having them team up in my AU headcanon was actually the best move I have ever made, and I have not looked back in the slightest. This started with my undying love for Inuyasha x Ayame and Ginta x Shunran as my number one Inuyasha OTPs of all time thanks to InuAya’s magnificent strength and GinShun’s charming lovability, and I have made their families grow, with InuAya receiving the lion’s share, but I hope to do more Ginta x Shunran art as well as have their family grow too. In fact, Inuyasha x Ayame and Ginta x Shunran are my main pairings in my Splendid Seven AU headcanon, with Sesshoumaru x Ayame as my liked pairing on an innocent crush basis as well as Shuran x Shunran and Hakkaku x Shunran also qualifying as innocent crushes. Combining their romantic love life was the fascination I had with Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s strong brotherly bond; Shuran’s, Hakkaku’s, and Ginta’s durable brotherhood; Sesshoumaru’s, Shuran’s, and Hakkaku’s formidable bond as a brotherly trio; Inuyasha’s and Ginta’s supportive bond as a brotherly duo, and Ayame’s and Shunran’s unconditionally loving sisterhood. Taking it up a notch, I also made Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s adoptive brothers, thus being raised by Toga the Dog General, InuKimi, and Izayoi, and Shunran Ayame’s adoptive younger sister, thus being raised by The Wolf Elder. It is even worth mentioning that Hakkaku and Ginta have a lot more edge to their characterisation, thus gaining in formidability, resilience, and toughness in stark comparison to their canon portrayal in the show and in the manga. Even better is having Inuyasha being raised by Ayame’s grandfather and the Wolf Yokai warriors of the North, South, East, and West as a means to grow into a full-fledged Yokai warrior, grow from rambunctious boy to a muscular warrior of a man, and be the strong husband he is meant to be for Ayame, thus being a strong leader to The Splendid Seven and to the Northern Yoro Tribe alongside Ayame. Extending from this would be The Splendid Seven’s strong and supportive friendship with Kuranosuke Takeda, Hiten, Toran, Ayumi, and Karan which is just as rich and tightly knit as well as the strongest friendship they have with Ichise, Kiba, Ran, and Cheza, in which The Splendid Seven and The Fine Four join forces as The Excellent Eleven, and the former would be just as supportive of Ichise’s and Ran’s as well as Kiba’s and Cheza’s romantic relationships. All of these interpersonal strengths would also hold up when Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Shunran, Ichise, Ran, Kiba, Kiba, and Cheza start their own families, with Sesshoumaru being a single dad to three loving daughters and four courageous sons, Shuran being a single dad to seven fierce sons, Hakkaku being a single dad to seven appreciative daughters, Inuyasha and Ayame being parents to seven strong sons and seven determined daughters, Ginta and Shunran being parents to seven handsome sons and seven charming daughters, Ichise and Ran being parents to seven stealthy sons and seven knowledgable daughters, and Kiba and Cheza being parents to seven stoic…
Hey, everybody. Antoni here. I have just hit a new DeviantArt milestone, as I have reached exactly 600 watchers. I also want to extend my joy and gratitude to ForkDork, SportyArtist, Aurinn-N, pink-hudy, Inumaru101, Jupitrie, Rikakittie, nagellackentferner, niziolek, amethyst-rose, yellowberries, jasric, wtfisabluecornmoon, PourSomeSugarOnMeee, Hillygon, FEN-OSHI, Da-Chiko-Muffin, Meggie94, hyuniinyu, jolabrodnica, BechnoKid, MariusWales, Gothica9, PurfectPrincessGirl, Brzozan, RoperMachi, MushyBee, TheGalacticDragon, X-Vintage–Owl-X, ArtRemaker4000, BluThing67, richardhibbard, MagaMoonkyArt210, SpiritMiserably, selma11, chikisingergrl, TheBenAlpha, DontbeModest, Danigthssj5, propimol, and Beanie122001 who celebrated their birthdays over a week ago all the way up to today, thus making my fan art collage also a birthday gift to all of you wonderful artists. I hope you all had wonderful birthdays, and I wish you a lot of love, joy, prosperity, abundance, happiness, beauty, and strength in your lives as artists and as people. Since this is the month of love, I thought it would be appropriate that my fan art collage shall focus on my beloved OTPs (Namontack x Basuli, Kocoum x Tarzan, Poison Ivy x Harley Quinn, Inuyasha x Ayame, Ginta x Shunran, Ichise x Ran, Kiba x Cheza, Kohaku x Rin, Chase Young x Kimiko Tohomiko, Arnold x Phoebe, Gerald x Rhonda, Robin x Raven, Zuko x Katara, Beast Boy x Terra, and Kevin Levin x Gwen Tennyson), romantic multi-shippings (Basuli x Hercules x Tarzan, George of the Jungle x Hercules x Maugli, Namontack x George of the Jungle, Kocoum x Maugli, and George of the Jungle x Hercules x Maugli), platonically fraternal relationships (Sesshoumaru, Shuran, and Hakkaku; George of the Jungle, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli; and Namontack, Kocoum, and Hercules), and families (The Splendid Seven consisting of Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran; The Super Strong Jungle Septet consisting of Namontack, Kocoum, Hercules, George of the Jungle, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli; The Pensive Quartet consisting of Ichise, Kiba, Ran, and Cheza; and The Fabulous Four consisting of Robin, Zuko, Raven, and Katara). Let us all soak in love that comes in both platonic and romantic forms. George of the Jungle, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli aka Chief Keewazi’s four most beloved sons are really fortunate to have life partners in Namontack, Kocoum, and Hercules, especially since Basuli and Tarzan are happily married to Namontack and Kocoum, although all of these muscular jungle warriors are in a collectively polyamorous relationship; with Basuli and Tarzan also loving Hercules unconditionally as well as George and Maugli being just as loving towards Namontack, Kocoum and even Hercules. Hercules has also inherited his father Zeus’s virile charisma and charm, as he considers Namontack, Kocoum, George of the Jungle, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli to be his happily wedded husbands, thus making a handsome harem for himself that is rife with unconditional love, surprisingly healthy synergy, and gorgeous harmony. Even their progeny love living in a home where there are a whopping seven fathers. Zeus, Chief Powhatan, and Chief Keewazi could not have been any happier with their sons. The Splendid Seven was the result of forming character constellations of my seven most favourite Inuyasha characters; Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran. I always believed they deserved so much better. So, why not bring them together to be akin to one tight-knit family? And it worked. Take my main BroT3 in Sesshoumaru, Shuran, and Hakkaku as well as my two main OTPs in Inuyasha x Ayame and Ginta x Shunran and you get The Splendid Seven who can kick demons’ butts one moment and be united as one family the next. Adding in their children, including Kohaku and Rin, would make their family even more complete as well as prolong their mighty bloodline. They are also adaptable in various scenarios whether in their native Feudal Era Japan or in the modern twenty-first-century era or as jungle warrior kings and queens. However, my most favourite scenario for The Splendid Seven would be having them as jungle warriors because this gives them the opportunity to let their feral sides loose, especially when Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta give Tarzan’s might a run for his money and Ayame and Shunran can put Sheena’s fierceness to shame. Hopefully, I could make The Splendid Seven adapt to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers universe by having them be the Inurangers, but that is another story. My love for Texhnolyze and Wolf’s Rain as some of my most favourite anime series of all time has also motivated me to be a loyal Ichise x Ran and Kiba x Cheza partisan. Love these couples or feel indifferent to them, they have always sealed the deal for me as genuine couples with boundless chemistry. Furthermore, the notion of Ichise, Kiba, Ran, and Cheza being best friends, allies, and surrogate family members to Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran was also really appealing to the point where I felt very compelled to have them this way. I am ecstatic to have kept these two couples and these four individuals close to my heart. Going beyond my usual fare of talking about anything and everything related to Inuyasha, Texhnolyze, and Wolf’s Rain plus my Disney’s Tarzan AU headcanon where I made George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli brothers who are happily married to Namontack, Kocoum, and Hercules, I also have to mention the undeniable love I have for Poison Ivy x Harley Quinn from Batman the Animated Series, Arnold x Phoebe and Gerald x Rhonda from Hey Arnold; Robin x Raven and Beast Boy x Terra from Teen Titans 2003; Zuko x Katara from Avatar the Last Airbender, and Kevin x Gwen from Ben 10: Alien Force. Long story short, I have been pairing these couples ever since I was a little kid of seven years old with the Hey Arnold ones, especially Arnold x Phoebe, until I was a youth between the ages of eleven and sixteen with the rest of the couples. Regardless of the many occasions I would have loved to draw them, they have always found a special place in my heart. I also want to extend my…
Greetings, friends, fans, and viewers, Antoni here. I know I cannot get over the fact that I have just had my one-year anniversary in this place called DeviantArt, which I can easily consider it to be my Mecca for posting fanart and memes from my favorite fandoms. However, throughout this year, I have also been doing a bit of introspection because I would never want to have any drama on this site that I have visited ever since I was only fourteen and then decided to join a week before I turned 26 years old. Now that I will turn 27 in five days time, I want to take the time attempt to make this reflection in prose form in the best way I can. How blessed I am To be surrounded by brilliant, young, creative minds To know that we have things in common To know that, in spite of our differences, we can be great friends To gain inspiration, experience, and knowledge. And it is all thanks to you, My fellow artists who have inspired me through your works My watchers who have supported me and put up with me My good artist friends who I consider to be family, For you have given me every valid reason To wake up every morning with positivity To feel driven to draw something out of the depths of my mind To draw the shippings I support the most To acknowledge how much effort you all put in your works And to feel just as driven, determined, and passionate to emulate the quality you put in. For that, I am eternally grateful. In spite of my overall euphoria and bliss, I know that there are some things that I have done wrong For that, I have to swallow my pride and acknowledge them. I am sorry for all the times I acted annoying. I am sorry for all the times I shove both of my negative and positive opinions on others’ throats. I am sorry for all the delays I could have and could not have controlled. I am sorry if I showed intolerance to others’ ships, fandoms, and the like. I am sorry if I pissed any of you off for something or everything I did wrong. I am sorry for all of the misunderstandings that have occurred. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me So that we can all start anew Put the past behind us all And, most importantly, live and let live. I am not doing this for acclaim. I am not doing this in the hopes that everyone here on DA will like me. I know that there are those who probably cannot stand me. I am aware that there are those who find me irritating. And, don’t worry, I acknowledge it. I may not be here to please everybody But I am here to be one of the very people who can make DA better. It is true that there are a lot of times that DeviantArt can be full of unnecessary drama. All for what? Not taking criticism well and in a more professional manner? Ripping off from other people’s works? Fueling the flames to make internet drama just as highly witnessed as a soap opera? At the end of the day, I would never want to be that type of person. I detest being that type of person who is classified as a ripoff. I never want to fuel unnecessary flames for the sake of internet drama. More importantly, I never want to whine about criticism Because I can and have to take the heat. I need to be that type of person who ensures unity on DA. I need to ensure that the positives of being on DA can surely outweigh the negatives. I need to show a lot more tolerance, especially when it comes to shipping. I never want to show toxicity to anyone Because the world has enough crap and needs a lot more healing than it already has. More than anything, I want and need to make sure that the stuff I make, whether fanart, meme or journal entry, Can show what and who I am as a person and not sugarcoat nor upset anyone. Through my fanart, I want to keep showing my appreciation to all of you, wonderful artists. You have kept me alive, well, and entertained even in my down days. I also consider doing fanart, memes, and journal entries on DA very therapeutic, As it can make my mind travel to places unknown, Explore many different tastes And, most of all, enjoy the ride doing so. I wrap this up by having this to say. Regardless of who you are, Fellow artist Fellow writer Fan Friend Greatest sources of inspiration, You are all golden and brilliant in your own ways. Continue to be the best versions of yourselves. I bless you all and take care. Once again, I thank you all, my dear friends, fans, and fellow artists for making my time on DeviantArt great. For those who I have badly hurt, I am sorry and I hope you find it in your hearts to forgive me. Take care, have a good spring, and let’s continue to make DeviantArt a great place to express ourselves. https://www.deviantart.com/antonimatteogarcia
Happy Easter and Happy Passover, my dear friends, Antoni here and I cannot believe it has been one year since I have been on DeviantArt, which is why I am so full of blessings, euphoria, and enthusiasm to be here in spite of some rather rocky moments. My time on DeviantArt has been awesome, interesting, and enjoyable, to say the least. All of my positive experiences on here have outweighed the negatives and I do feel like I have been improving as an artist, especially from the feedback I have from fellow Deviants and my loyal followers. I will continue to improve and do everything I can in order to better myself not only as an artist but also as a person. There are so many people I would love to thank for sticking by me and I would love to start with all of my 123 watchers, especially Tigerlover1993, AuronTsubaki1985, bubblyshipper, fashionbella, BeeWinter, Blossom200, Whyboy, PowerpuffObsessed, AwkwardOddOne, JekyllAndHydeChannel, xmysticaldreamsx, and KittyGemAmazon23, Misse-the-cat, SpringMonnie, and ilovetoeatfood4444 for sticking by me since day one onwards, for their great moral support, and their positive vibes. You are all the reasons why I continue to make fanart of the shows I not only like but also the pairings that fascinate me the most. In terms of the artists who have inspired the most, I would love to thank Soraya7, MMHinman, betaruga, Teracles, Juacamo, zephleit, Suyohara, Geioji, AsmodisArt, lilithkiss00, and many other artists for inspiring me to improve my skills as an artist, especially where the male anatomy is concerned. Through your works, I have gained a lot of inspiration, passion, and interest in terms of bettering my drawing skills of not only the male anatomy but also the female anatomy. I also have to thank the-pongpang-art for her gorgeous character and background designs, as these very facets of her work were and will always be reasons for me to gain inspiration and keep improving as an artist. I would then love to thank my color-clash RuffPuff shipper sisters from another mother BrickercupMasterX3, KatyGorl, resotii, Citsitra-blue, GoldRoseAngel, xahCHUx, PurfectPrincessGirl, ColorfulWonders, and PrincessCallyie for making me fully invested in the color-clash RuffPuff couples, especially Brickercup and Blossoomer, as these two are the couples I have found myself shipping the most and loving and drawing the absolute heck out of them. I would also love to thank StretchNSnort for also getting me fully invested in Blossoomer among many other pairings and, once again, BrickercupMasterX3 for getting me fully invested in the flexible pairing known as Mitch x Bunny or Bunnitch and PrincessCallyie for getting me completely fascinated with Jack Spicer x Princess Morbucks or Prinack as well as further exploring my love for crossover pairings. Additionally, I would love to thank yosuehere, Redku, JenniferPowerpuff, MissEmmyJay, and Smol-Marshmallow for increasing my eternal love and fascination for Butch x Blossom or Blossutch, which I deem as the best color-crack RuffPuff couple, in my opinion, Sweatshirtmaster, tearmint, cinyanmon, NanakoBlaze, Team-Boomer3, PhantomLatte, Goody-II-Shoes and viannilla among many others for their works that have really inspired me to maintain Boomubbles as my most favorite RuffPuff color-coded pairing that I have been shipping ever since I was a tween or teen, and HMontes and MarcosBnPinto for further solidifying my love for Mike x Robin or Robike as an awesome couple. It is thanks to all of you guys that I continue to explore my respective passion for Blossutch, Boomubbles, and Robike every waking morning and give me sufficient reasons to draw these couples more often. I want to also thank Misse-the-cat for being especially enthusiastic and supportive when it comes to my next-gen Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles characters, especially the two new Butchubbles and Blossoomer next-gen characters I thought up, plus Katy-Gorl for inspiring me to bring her Butchubbles and Blossoomer kids to my Team Xtreme universe, and even CottonCandyGrl1969 for inspiring me to bring her Blossutch daughters to my Team Xtreme universe. You have managed to make me excited to draw the next-gen Brickercup, Blossoomer, Butchubbles, Blossutch, and Butchubbles characters more often. I also cannot begin to thank the likes of YANN-X and 04jh1911 for making me completely invested in Disney Slash Couples, especially my most favorite one being Kocoum x Tarzan. You guys are the very reasons why I continue to be fascinated with couples like these. Speaking of which, I am also very thankful for Khialat and TXToonGuy1037 for inspiring me to continue rooting for Arnold x Phoebe as a couple and I hope to continue drawing more Arnold x Phoebe fanart more often. Coming from someone who has a love-hate relationship with Inuyasha, Bleach, and Naruto, I would love to thank RivaAnime for her awesome motivational posters, as I can totally agree with her statements and give me many reasons why I love Inuyasha x Ayame more than Inuyasha x Kagome and maybe Inuyasha x Kikyou. I also have to thank teacupballerina for her awesome pieces of AkuBloss work and for eventually getting me fascinated with this weird yet wonderful pairing. So, Teacup, I wish you a lot more awesome moments as an artist and more wonderful pieces of work coming from you. And as for the many other artists, I forgot to mention on here, I just want to say thank you all for a year of inspiration, enlightenment, passion, and fun on DeviantArt. I also love to thank the many people who have left constructive criticism on my work, as I need them more than anything to keep growing. You all deserve a lot of love, joy, excellence, and brilliance in everything you do. Happy Easter, Happy Passover, and thanks for taking the time to view this written entry. Don’t forget, if you enjoy the fanart and the written entries I have to offer, please don’t forget to follow me and I will see you all in the flipside. Take care and have a great spring. https://www.deviantart.com/antonimatteogarcia
Hey, everybody! Antoni, here, and guess what. I’m on DeviantArt. For the longest time, I have mainly visited this site when I was a lad of fourteen and I have been getting a lot of creative inspiration from a lot of the fanart I saw. Even more so, I was initially hesitant to join DeviantArt because of certain dumb insecurities I had as an artist, in spite of the fact that I love to draw, especially fanart of my most favorite animated characters. Plus, I was still rather young, as taking criticism well was still in the development department, I only saw making visual art in terms of drawing as a hobby, and I thought that my drawing skills were very much not on par with those people who draw fanart on such a good to an exceptional level. However, as time went on, I kind of toyed with the idea of being on here because I have some really good reviewer and artist friends and some relatives who have an account on DeviantArt and are very passionate about what they do and what they love. For that, I say more power to them and everything they do. Yes, there is also some fetish art that I found usually involving characters getting abnormally fat or generally growing in size. Those are the art types I try to avoid, as they seem to promise empty creativity. I always strive to be inspired by fanart or original work which is not only creatively appealing but also enhancing and can cater to my love of animation. Thus, I finally made the decision to become a DeviantArtist not only to support the artists who have inspired me but to also bring my art pieces and passion to the table. Would I want to make my drawing of fanart a regular thing aside from the YouTube reviews and blog posts I write on Manic Expression, TeamNightSaturn, and Steemit? Probably, because on the one hand, I have a lot of ideas going on in my crazy yet creative mind that I see why not. I have always had an innate desire to draw my favorite character pairings or OTPs, BroTPs and the like from my favorite cartoons, anime, and video games because I have always seen the plausibility in terms of the character chemistry in these pieces of media. On the other hand, it might not be done so regularly because of the time I have to commit to making my fanart come to fruition in terms of not making my illustrations sloppy nor unfinished but polished and well-detailed. Even more so, I have other priorities to accomplish not only as a reviewer, artist, and performer but also as a student. In other words, it might as well be done in my free time, if ever I feel like it or if ever I feel inspired to just do something. With the fanart that I have so far as well as other ideas swimming on in my brain just wanting to be released, I thought it would be a great idea to be on DeviantArt to not only show my work as an artist who does drawing fanart as a hobby but to also make something of good quality. Moreover, I think it is actually therapeutic to be on here, as I do feel a sense of joy, relief, and gratitude whenever I draw something that I really love and I don’t have to bottle it up. So, I hope you can follow me on DeviantArt, as I do have some interesting things to present. So far, I am really enjoying my time here, as I am really happy getting to know other artists and the work they have done as of late. As for new drawing-related projects, I intend to do something yet again with my four favorite bruisers in all of animated series history, Brick, Butch, Blossom, and Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls. Can you tell why I really like these four? Seriously, I am itching to draw more fanart with them as the main subject. Oh and don’t worry, I will definitely put in my Number 1 RRBxPPG OTP, Boomer/Bubbles or Boomubbles, in the works as well, as I have something really interesting for these two. Until then, this is Antoni wishing you a lovely and warm spring. AntoniMatteoGarcia on DeviantArt
