Hikari to Yami no Tatakai

My entry for the local anime drawing competition Mangaka05. And I was the 2nd runner up ! WoW!

Personally I wasn't too satisfied with this picture since its not as expressive as my usual works. But this is one of the rare pics in my collection that has beautiful background and tonnes of special effects. hahahaha

Drawn in Painter Classic, coloured in Photoshop 7.0.

====================================

The story takes place in Singapore. The battle Arena is the ruins of the supposedly legendary Syonan Jinja in Bukit Timah. The fiercely Ying place whereby many vengeful spirits of the past japanese soldier died there. Spirits that killed themselves in shame when their Emperor decided to withdraw from Singapore.

It is rumuored that hidden there, is a very valuable treasure. Some say its Yamashita's Gold; Loot from the many countries it has robbed and is counted in millions. Some say its a very sacred object buried by the japanese royals in world war 2; the seed of Amatsu Tatara.

For many years, these rumours have lured many bounty hunters to the place. All hoping to get their hands on the treasure they know nothing about. Most hunters left the place empty handed. But one particular hunter never left the place. He couldn't.

Until a young spiritualist punk crashed into the scene with his dyed hair and levitating skateboard. Its the good ol' battle of the darkness and light!!
