Description This is a piece i was commisioned to do of Afro Samurai. I really had fun choosing the colors, to give it that nighttime kinda feel.

Hope you enjoy it Evan!

Painter IX-8 hrs

Everything is now edited. I changed the entire position of the blade, which i felt like helped the overall image. Added some bling, a ring and earrings and a chain, the charm is the symbol on the Hagakure Book.

Your color scheme just adds so much to the image itself. Awesome!

I found this via some dumb blog on tumblr complaining that this was whitewashed.
They clearly don't get that you were going for a certain color (teal/blue) mood.


This is lovely just the way it is.

Yeah yeah that's the guy. He combines looking good with kicking a*s and does it with style. The guy in your pic does it too so good job on that.

GL with the future project!

It says done in Painter IX, so it's digital done in a traditional ways. It's a wonderful piece, simple yet not overly simple. I really like the colour tone on this one.

Congrats on the D&D
