Karuta time!

Next set of Karuta Cards from Sinbad no Bouken. As always, this is an amateur translation. I’ll do them in sets by letters as they become available to me. This one took a while because I was having a lot of trouble with it... Today is the R set.

Ra- Roaring Thunder Lightning Sword, Masou* Baal! らいめい轟かす電光の剣、魔装バアル！ *The word here is masou (魔装), which translates as “devil’s instrument” or “demon’s tool” The exact translation is uncertain, so I left it as was, but it could mean Djinn or Metal Vessel? Edit: Mari M Rose states that Masou in this case is translated as Djinn Equip.

Ri- Ria Venice Island, the capital of one shot reverse gambling. リア・ヴェニス島一発逆転賭博の都

Ru- House sitting, entrust it to the chamber of stock**! るす守る、商会のことならお任せを！ ** A leap of words. “Koto” (こと) means things and “stock” is things of the store.

Re- Valefor ability is reiki of water stagnation. れいきの波動停滞の能力ブアレフオール。

Ro- Young and old, men and women, people are attracted to SInbad. ろう若男女人惹きつけるシンドバッド。

Note: Karuta cards are graciously provided by Sinbad-ai

Last one from the old colourings. This is Blood Dupre and Elliot March from Wonderful Wonder World. Really alovely picture, and I’m quite proud of how it turned out in the end. The original artist for this is the series illustrator Hoshino Soumei. I don’t own anything but the inspiration to colour

Then vs Now

Here we have on the left, the very first picture I had ever coloured, and on the right, a redo of it with all the lessons I learned in texture, shading, etc applied. I think it’s a good example of how far I’ve come from my start, and how much I’ve improved. I hope to continue improving.

The character belongs to Labyrinth of Magic and Ohtaka, The image is from the manga.

Thanks to Sinbad-Ai and Anojima who helped provide me with the cards. You two were wonderful. Special thanks to anyone who helped me correct a tranlsation error, in particular Mari M. Rose who helped me with the R set, and Sinbadism who helped with the K set.
