The idea is based on a character of "Get Backers", action manga by Rando Ayamine and Yuya Aoki. The design is based on a character named "Ito no Kazuki", a bishounen who uses a string as his weapon. Beautiful technique yet deadly, he is one of my favorite character in the manga. This is the formal pose and half-finished version of the artwork. I just like the way he holds the bell, although it's a bit different with the real Kazuki's way to do such.
