In this picture I just wanted to draw a woman samurai that I could later color with a pale face. I know, the outfit is slightly skimpy, but, just imaging how distracted her enemies would be in a fight if she wore that. o_0

The pose looks good, and some very nice shading (the gloves are great).

That Patrick guy is just horny. No self-respecting samurai would show that much flesh without having to commit suicide (seppuku for those who know it). In spite of it, the proportions and pose are great.

:-) Cyrene Domogalla replies: "True, true. But samurai were usually men. Besides, a woman has to make up for strength with speed, which means dodging. Hei?"

Well, samurai did intend to make a show out of their battlefield appearance, mainly by wearing flamboyant costumes. You can't say this female samurai doesn't fit to that description... Nice pic 12

... That is not a Naginata... Thats an ancient Chinese Pole-Blade... Naginata's have 1 single blade...

:-) Cyrene Domogalla replies: "Isn't that what I have? Or do you mean that the blade itself is suppose to be much more like a spear-type thingy? Instead of having a little jut in it I mean.....I'm confused!!!"

The naginata looks like a wakizashi on a branch

:-) Cyrene Domogalla replies: "I guess so. There are a few different shapes though. But I suppose it is closer to a chinese halberd than a naginata. Oky-do, thanks for the heads up."

I really like the pose, as have every one else. The outfit IS a bit lacking in what she would really wear to battle. And as for the type of weapon she has, it resembles a Qwan Do more than Naginata. But all in all I'd have to say I really like this picture
