Description Here is an illustration I created a few weeks ago heavily inspired by Vagabond, for the most part. It's so humbling to view such mastery that Takehiko Inoue has, and I hope I will learn how to loosen up and put such energy and life into my work.

This particular scene won't happen until Volume 2 of FT:Rebirth, but I enjoy giving some teaser shots of it.

You can read my webcomic, FT:Rebirth, Here!

I know right, he's amazing! His other work Take which is about wheelchair basketball is even better in its mastery though Vagabond is still pretty awesome. I love even his old works which you'd never believe he'd done cuz they're pretty funny. I love many artists, but he's one of the few I aspire to be like. Ok I've finished my rave, this is very impressive as well. I really love the messiness in this. How long did you take for you to make it?
