Finished this late for Beyblade Day 2024 (and the 25th anniversary of Beyblade) but at least it's done now ^^ Full-colored version of a quick sketch I'd done in November last year, which in turn was based off a commemorative pic in Vol4 of the original Bakuten Shoot manga.
I haven't drawn Kai in a loooong time. I've noticed people were liking an old drawing of him I did like over a year or two ago and it made me cringe because of how bad it was lmao. I had to draw something better!
I think I made him too pretty like an otome game character ^^;
Finished reading the manga again and decided to put some pictures of my collection here…
On the very top my most valuable item, I took a job un summer with children just to buy it, anyone who knows me knows how much I hate and despise kids, but all was worth it just to get this gorgeous set!
Under it, I have the manga with the original publish that came out in my country, since they cancelled the translation due to bad sales I got the missing volumes in Japanese; in this “floor” I also have the magazines where they published RISING in Japan, the GameCube Game for beyblade 2002, a special mini folder-like for RISING in one of the magazines and I laminated the post card you had to send to get the Wolborg 8 Bearing Blue Wolf edition that appeared on RISING’s chapter 9
And on the bottom, I have a stamp album that came out in my country, I have it twice, one is complete and the other is missing only one stamp 🥲 in front of the albums I have the full manga and RISING manga all in Japanese, and in front of the manga, I have the Wolborg 8 Bearing Blue Wolf version still unopened, I kept the plain brown box with the name too and also there are the stickers also unopened for the beyblade, and lastly my Takara Wolborg 2, sadly this one is opened 😢
And this is not shown on my collection, but I laminated the Yuriy card from the trading card game that was released in English that someone gave me last year
