Description My character for Samurai Duelers League.
Took me forever to come up with a color scheme i liked..and im still on the fence about this one.. I plan on uploading a more in depth Ref sheet for him later this week. And maybe one colored differently..

He's basically a redesign of [link] from my manga Dark Gift. I guess he could be considered the alternate universe version..or even his ancestor.

But I wanted to submit a different style character since it could be from any country as long as the time period focused on feudal Japan era. (Ignore the snazzy shades, purely for style )

Rikyo In reply to Forgottonswordsman [2008-08-26 15:37:14 +0000 UTC]

Hey thanks for the compliments man! As for your questions, I mainly used Photoshop for this. I draw it on paper then scan it in. Then color in PS. Only time I might use Manga studio, is for comic effects. i.e. speed, focus lines etc. But rarely for anything else. It all depends on what your comfortable with honestly.

His face makes me happy. If there is something you want to change about him, it better not be the face. That would be a huge loss for everyone. :0

If this guy isn't my favorite SDL character - which he may well be - then he's darn close. He's simply awesome on every level ... I could go into the details, but I think that says it all

What a great idea - an African battle character. I always wanted to do a tribal-style character, but I could never do any better than you. I love the lion's head on his shoulder and his whole character design. It just fits...so...perfectly. Wonderful job!
