Comments

Hey, uh, the "power word" for that "Invocation of Ancestral Flame" wouldn't happen to be "HADUKEN!!!!" would it? Just curious... - Dreaming Nymph thinks you play too many video games... ;o)

This art needs some restructuring, and a few changes although it is consistant with it's theme (unlike most of the others I created). I hope to have the particulars done by tommorow - Issaru

I also want get rid of the Shen-Tao family portion of this art as it wasn't well thought out to begin with. - Issaru

Well it's updated, but i have no idea what to do with this page! I also want to keep it up as both a reminder for myself, and for anyone who actually used this style. --Issaru

BTW the updated version of this style is called Burning Dragon Style.
