| 29 Oct 2000 | The Artist | Hey, Ryrouni! I obviously upset you enough to force you to overlook the little word you obviously missed...that word is LIKE. It's used when you are comparing, and not depicting. At the time, I was just putting some pencil scratches on my paper when I kinda saw a little character that needed to be developed...so I did! The description was actually done by a friend of mine. He is the one that labled it as a "Japanese-Mishiman-Samurai-like dude." I'm sorry I overlooked the possibility of a person such as yourself would take offense about my crappy little drawing. And don't worry, my next samurai (if there will ever be another one due to all the scarring from this experience) will definitely be dedicated to you, my man. And by the way, I think I will change the title of this piece to "Man with the Pointed Canoe Paddle." Genious, pure genious!!! Sorry about the ranting, but in a sense...I suck! | |
| 29 Oct 2000 | Ryrouni Ikari Shen | I don't find your picture amusing. it may be well drawn, but the style of dress and sword are way off target. Maybe you should research samurais before you decide to depict one with such inacuracy. I hope you title this work "Man with pointed canoe paddle" | |
| 1 Nov 2000 | Just Pierce McDowell | Man you are a totle blow jobber at samariis. You should fall off this planet you pansy skank! Who am i? Ryrouni! Just kidding. This picture amuses me greatly. You need to get some more stuff up here, like that blue guy you emailed to me yesterday! That was pretty cool. But back to this work. It's pure lovely. I, too, like the title Man with Pointed Canoe Paddle, heh heh. Okay, not really. More more more! | |
| 20 Jan 2001 | Zach | just gotta ask...is the sword between his legs? hmm...I like it...very reminiscent of Cloud from FF7, with the big sword and all..well...okay...not very reminiscent, but y'know...;-) I like your stuff..keep it up | |
| 13 Feb 2001 | Mark "Special Ed Boy" Fly. | yeah.. um.. it does look kinda like the sword is between his legs..Happy Gilmore.. talkin about his old jobs.. hehe.. well.. right.. i love it.. great shading abd shadow.. and.. if it hasnt been said enough. Awesome sword!.. looks kinda like the ones from the old link/zelda games.. heheh.. ok not really.. whatever.. its AWESOME!!.. hahaha | |
| 3 Apr 2001 | Luke | Obviously Ryrouni Ikari Shen (previous picture rater, see below) hasn't seen "Showdown in Little Tokyo," starring Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren. If he had, he'd know this guy would be the basis of samurai had he seen DOLPH LUNDGREN dressed as a samurai warrior. Love the work, HEY BEER!! | |
| 15 Feb 2002 | Erin 'Emric' Ricci | Well, geez, if I had to carry that thing I'd look like that, too! Very nice, it's what I look like on Mondays...^.^ | |
| 2 Nov 2002 | Svart Lotus (the old guy) | I dont see any problem with the sword... Maybe thats becous i play to much FF7  | |
| 18 Aug 2003 | Amy Ann Demint | Greetings Brian! You have captured the emotion and attitude of the character so wonderfully! Your style is so original and detailed - it is a pleasure to be in the same gallery with you!  Keep up the great work!! | |
| 6 Jun 2005 | Anne 'Tyrrlin' Bullwinkel | I'd look like that too if I had a sword *that* big to lug around. I love the expression...gave me a good chuckle! Wonderful! | |
