"You shouldn't try to challenge these two..."

"They're the best of the best.... You know.... PROFESSIONALS!"

Akane - "So what if they are?!"

Azusa- "If you're going to back do-own... do it now-ow!"

About time I got active with this club and submitted something new to

I had a quick inspiration to do this today after purchasing my new skates online. I plan to get back into roller blading regularly to get in shape.. and hopefully make this a cosplay for next year. (with my friend James as Mikado) We will be... *dramatic pause* "The Golden Pair" of Martial Arts Skating! I had to come up with their colour schemes because the anime and manga depictions of these two are VERY different AND this outfit doesn't exist in the anime... only the b-n-w manga. I really want to do the outfit she's wearing in the 2nd book in the cafe because of the awesome fuzzy cloak she has but there are no colour illustrations of that outfit so I made up this colour scheme using the "toner" shading in the comic as an indicator of what colours Rumiko's trying to imply. Let me know what you think about the colour choices. Open to constructive critisism. (as always)

EDIT/UPDATE: My friend James moved to New Yourk so I've put this idea for a couple cosplay on the back burner till I can find another decent Mikado to do this with. Plus I found out I SUCK at roller blading on uneven ground. Apparantly, I'm not as good as I thought. I can skate fine in a rink, but on uneven ground outside I look ridiculous trying ot keep my balance.
