A character sketch for a L5R (Legend of the Five Rings) RPG campaign. He's a Crab clan shugenja which basically means he's a drunk bully with magical skills. The look I was going for was the one established by the illustrations for the card game of the same name. BTW - that’s not my player character, it’s a friend’s.

Definitely my favorite of those you've posted so far. The color, shading, detail... everything. This would be quite sellable material!

Wow, powerful. The only negative thing I would have to say is beware of smoothing things too much - it gives it that "I've been coloured in Paintshop" look. Amazing talent you have.

The ART director for the Legend of the Five Rings CCG will see this piece in the next couple of days. I promise. Of course he might not say anything nice but I will tell you what he says.

Did you ink this before you scanned it in? Love your style.

Alton: I'd really like to hear what he says, no matter whether positive or negative. Thanks!

Whoa...now that's just one of the coolest pics of a Crab anything I've ever seen...excellent detail, and I love the look and the attitude! Excellent work.

Loving it! This is the best picture I've seen so far. It dipicts the clan perfectly!

very good picture, nicely done..Only critiquing I can give is that his right hand/arm seems a bit off..His upper arm seems to be too long, going down to far, and his hand seems to be someone elses at such an angle..The hands seem a bit odd as well, too long and rubbery looking compared to such a powerful roundish head, just doesn't seem to mix well with me..Overall wonderful picture though.

Cool synergy between the crosshatching and highlighting! Good compostion too!

Kuni Izumi: Psh, he's not so much!

-doges lighting bolts-

I meant that in the BEST possible way Yogashi Sama!

-cough-

I MEAN....Great picture! Izumi is a Kuni Witch Hunter with an appropriatley large mouth for a crab and a weakness for cash.

I Love this piccy! But I love the fact that you drew a CRAB even more!
