Drawing is a hobby of mine, one I don't do much. I'm still working out the artstyle and this pin-up is a WIP. This is also not the whole image. Some of you might remember a comic project I was doing a for a friend tentatively called "Samurai Wars". There's still a lot of work to be done on it.

This is Ryo Matusmoto. A bad guy. I goofed on his weapons. This was the original concept for his weapon where'd he swing this blade around (a bit like Kratos, I suppose) but talking to people, the weapon wouldn't work well. (I was also thinking like that claw dude from Ninja Scroll.) Technically, there's supposed to be a handle on the other end so he can make it a short halberd or he can surprise the enemy and extend it when 'thrown' right.

The comic looks, for the most part, NOTHING like this. This is more... COLORFUL than the comic which is mainly grayscale.

Enjoi.
