Got tsundere? Impressed by *Demi-Alucard*s and *ETERNAL*s brilliant suggestion last month to create a *dark-side tsundere rival* for Mirai, I decided to take yet another (my 3rd) fanart risk. (No guts, no glory, eh?) Although she's still a rough 14% (14-day) draft, I finally present Mirai Suenaga's tsundere rival -- Akiko *Lucky* Yoshikawa -- Class Rank #2 after Mirai's Rank #1 at the Sorunian TimeSpy Academy. Her slick blue-haired look is based on my Facebook friend Jennie in May 2008, lol. Not bad for my very-first vector-art anime piece, huh? I hope to finish Akiko and her gun's shading/lighting in the next few weeks. ^_^; Till next update! P.S. Heartfelt thoughts and wishes to the victims of the Akihabara tragedy. Thanx for the coverage, Danny.

Haha! That's awesome! You have quite some time in your hands to make this. I think I might be in love with Mirai's rival... Danny, you should ask your artist to draw her! ^^

Skanky | Agito | Benjamin: LOL, thanx! I wouldn't mind seeing Azami Yuko-sensei's version either. === Ornehx: Haha, sorry, I avoided the twin tails because I see it too often. ^_^; === Danny | Chun: Thanx! I'll keep you posted. ^_^ === Mimi | Nomadic: Ah, lol, the blue hair was first sparked by Jennie's photo. From there, violet/purple/pink followed, basically going opposite Mirai's orange/yellow/brown. Thanx, I'm glad u like! ^_^ === Tenrou: Hahaha!

DaZ: LOL! I'll let her know someone asked ^_^; === Burford: Thanx for the kind words! I'm definitely a fan of expanding *depth* and minimizing *flatness* in a 2D image. Doesn't hurt to refer to *tons* of anime images (for posing and lighting) either, lol.

LOL, to accompany the art, here's my little sketch-script of the early days when the rivalry between Mirai and Akiko begins... Enjoy! === PLACE: Sorunian TimeSpy Academy. TIME: Classified. === AKIKO (2nd year) is walking to school, two freshman (1st year) girls tagging beside her. === Akiko [frustrated]: Dammit! How did this happen? Who the heck is this Suenaga-san? Girl #1: You mean the new transfer student? Girl #2: Oh yeah-yeah! She just transferred here. Have you seen her yet? [Dreamily.] Oh wow, she's so beautiful... Akiko [annoyed]: Grrr... How did this happen? How? How? I was always most popular. I was always #1! Me! But she just transfers halfway into the year and steals it from me! How? Girl #1: Ummm, because she's super-smart... Girl #2: And super-athletic... Girl #1: And kind-hearted... Girl #2 [dreamily]: And sooo b e a u t i f u l... Akiko [angrily]: Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I have all of that too! Girl #1 [whispers to Girl #2]: Kind-hearted??? Akiko: Hmmm, so what's driving that Suenaga Mirai-san? What's her purpose? Why is she here? I must know! If I can figure that out, I can beat her! Girl #2: Yeah-yeah, you can do it, Akiko-sempai! Girl #1: Definitely, Akiko-sempai! She has no idea who you are! Akiko [intensely]: Yosh! "Know thy enemy." Let's figure out who she is... so we can destroy her!!! ===
