Description So, a while back made this amazing drawing of Akarai, and he was kind enough to give me permission to colour it!

Thanks again for drawing this, man and thanks for allowing me to colour it

I inked over the line art and then coloured it with watercolours.

This is great! Your colouring is particularly beautiful and fits very nicely with the design.

Thanks!Β  It was a great honour to colour it and I learned quite a bit from going over the lines again.Β Β 
My biggest concern is always that the relatively bright colours will come across as "costume-y" and that making it too dark and suppressed will just seem dull.

Ooh my kitsune! This is truly an amazing artwork, I totally love it when two wonderful artists come together to make such sweet drawings. This has to be one of my favorite kitsune samurai drawing, you did an amazing job with coloring it looks fantastic, the colors on the armor are outstanding and give the suit so much details. Even the fur and belt looks great, you've done it again, a amazing coloring.Β 

did a really great job at making the ink line art base, and akarai's expression fits him perfectly.Β 

Really well made mates.

Thank you so much! It was an incredible feeling colouring such solid and well made line work.
0laffson totally nailed Akarai's armour and expression (and that tea cup is by far the best addition )

Sweet! Love the colors. The reflections on the armor are on point, too!
You both did a good job in painting this specimen of an obviously inferior warrior compared to a mighty knight Β  samurai.

I also love the expression. It is almost as if he was in immediateΒ danger but the dishonor of his enemies was so much that he couldn't care even the slightest.
"Hmpf, so much dishonor *sip*"

Aye, thank you! I had to tread very carefully because there's a fine line between heraldic decorativeness and costume-ish
0laffson did an amazing job with the samurai look, despite normally drawing more shield-hugging, wantonly-crusading pansies knights ^^

Yes! He totally nailed the expression.Β  It's like he's thinking "Oh, the enemy cavalry charge is almost upon us? Meh, I still got time to finish my tea."

Well, at least longswords don't bend at the first strike due to shitty metal one thing is for sure, he has quite the skill for drawing detailed armors.
And you for painting them, as it seems.

The colorings on the armor plates somehow is very mesmerizing here.... maybe because it's just that I haven't done something of that level of lighting accuracy

Anyway, good to see this again

Thank ye kindly! I wouldn't call it "accurate" per se, in fact I'm certain actual reflections wouldn't behave quite that way Β 
Thanks!

The ironic thing is he doesn't drink tea because he considers himself posh, but because it's a simple pleasure that anyone can enjoy
