Thank you, so much!! I actually re-drew this in my newer style on my DA page (same tag name) under Sensei Yashita Revisited. My drawing style has morphed to a more realistic motif but people seem to like it as well.
I went to your DA page and saw the revisited version. I like that one too. I, will amit though, that I have a preference for the anime style. I suppose because the likeness to the original characters is more defined. With that said, I think you do better when you use a style that is more suited to you.
Must fave!
