After all those struggles at schools and laziness, I finally managed to finish this artwork of Tang and Alisa ! I haven't been sending any artworks that I made by my own hand. First reason is because of school and projects , and second of all is depression ( don't get me started on that one). Well, since summer is already rolling in, I just pushed myself from the bed and scolded myself to finish this artwork. I started this artwork BEFORE school even ended. I think is started this like 6 weeks ago? Well, I'm not quite certain, but I wasn't able to finish this mostly because of that project my Language Arts teacher gave me.

This is another episode (or series...whatsoever) of my own art series, X-Over Expedition, featuring Tang from Shaolin Wuzang, and Alisa from Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion. I realized that I haven't been sending any fan artworks lately, so I decided to make this one. Like I said in the first place, I wasn't able to finish it mainly because of school. I couldn't think of a great title, but I got the title from one of the awesome sauce OSTs of Tekken 6's scenario campaign: [link] . You might be wondering why a slow song is the artwork's theme song, while these two people over here are holding badass weapons.

As some of you know, I have been making a crossover fanart about Tang and Alisa, and most of those artworks were about them, fighting and having a dispute. I guess in this artwork, their friction is kind of being taped together, making them unite and kind of befriends for some reason.

The song sounds heroic anyway. I guess I'm pretty proud, choosing the title and the song to match their heroic stances.

I don't know how long this artwork took me to make it, but all I know is that I started it long ago between those 6 weeks. I stopped the week after, and discontinued it for I'm guessing...maybe four weeks. I continued it yesterday, and finished it today. However, I noticed my own flaws here; the metal on their weapons, the shading of Tang's hanfu, Alisa's flower, and her boots. What I liked about this deviation is their hair, and the new method of coloring the skin. Hopefully I still remember those methods.

Well, before I say ciao, if you have any questions, comments, specific critiques, etc. that doesn’t contain negativity, spam, trolling, unspecific critiques, anything that includes ticking me off, just post your message below the description . If I see anything that contains any negative stuff, I have every right to flag your post as a spam and not waste my time, replying and arguing.

Alisa?
Yes, Tang?
You know what I just realized?
What would it be?
We don't argue that much anymore. It's...awkward.
I noticed it too.
Do you think this is the a start of a new beginning?
If it is, then I don't want it to be boring. I have to admit that it was fun that we kept pestering each other!
I guess it is too.

Ciao, Chow Mein!
