BBT4: Tari's Blader Card

If you don't like OCs that are siblings of popular canons, or in a relationship with a canon. Please don't leave a comment. I make my artwork because I like it not to be flamed and have rude comments put on it.

Nickname: Crumbling Roar
Name: Hiwatari Tarinfia (Tari)
Play Style: Balance 
Beyblade: Tiger Claw V2

That's it Tari, channel your inner Kai. Intimidate your competition and crush them *cough**cough*

Yay I've finished the introductionary task for  within the time limit and I love how it turned out which is a plus as I wasn't too sure when I sketches it out ... I mean ok I'm still not 100% happy with her hair but when am I happy with Tari's hair? It doesn't transfer over to cell shading that well but the rest of her does

So let's talk nicknames as this was the hardest part of the task for me. In past Tari's had a couple. Her first being for a project that me and Cosmos-Kitty did a few years ago, back then her nickname was 'Rock Goddess' due to her bit beast element being earth and well... yeah that was about it... plus it made her sound cool lol. Her second came from the 1st time she entered BB-Tournament and darkangel-hikari made this where her nickname was 'Quake Tigress'. Which combines her element and bit beast.

But I've never really been happy with either of them. Not sure why, I think it's because there's not much you can do with earth... possibly but who knows. So I went through the process of creating a new one for her and I bounced ideas off of Cosmos-Kitty so thank you for that Dawn . First of I was going to go with 'Deadly Tigress' due to Spiked Tiger's Poison Needle Claw attack, then I was going to go with 'Agile Tigress' as well the word agile fits Tari well... but then so does stubborn. But who wants stubborn to be their nickname? Then I researched canon Blader's nicknames and tried to get some ideas. I find it unoriginal that Tyson's is 'The Champ' but that's for another day.

After all of that I finally settled on 'Crumbling Roar' why? Well it's one of Spiked Tiger's attacks, Rock Roar. In which Spiked Tiger roars loudly cracking/crumbling the beydish/earth around her.... Wasn't 100% happy at first but after playing with it in my head I like it

One day I will get Tari in a non-Kai like pose and I will get her smiling not smirking! She just doesn't look right with a full on smile not that that would work here she's supposed to be looking intimidating so she scares off her competition or whatever. I know it's sort of playing safe with the crossed arm pose but nothing else really suits Tari she's not one for doing the peace sign or a thumbs up or whatever... but I'm happy with it, actually drew a decent crossed arms look yay!!

Anyway hope you like it
