This is one of my first L5R characters with his wife, formerly Isawa Oroko of the Phoenix Clan.

my friend, I have no idea why you do not have any comments, let me be the first.
Very good, never give up, the way you can give life to the my ancestors, through art, is trully unbeliveable..
Thankyou for honoring my people with your art
Hachiman (The Last Samurai)

Your ancestors were samurai? Impressive lineage, indeed. I am honored by your comments, and fear not, I shall not give up. -SCR

First off, excellent work, just like all of them. I'm a HUGE fan of the game (and the CCG...yeah, yeah). I just wanted to settle something regarding this one...the mon on his sleeve. Dragon, right? It's that or Scorpion, which there are a lot of in this gallery (Honorless dogs. The Matsu await their moment.), but at that angle and detail, I'd imagine the Scorpion mon would look a little more...cluttered.

Actually, the mon is neither. It is a Mongoose mon, a personal symbol Ketsudo (the man the picture) used and later the mon of the Mongoose Clan, which he founded during the course of the game.

Once again you have captured it, Warrior: A person motivated by reason and guided by Love, You can probably guess where that comes from.

For some reason this brought Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon to mind. Its not that the characters resemble those from the movie because they do not but something about their embrace triggered that response in my brain.

A rare moment of true love on a sumarai's life...

Now this is a true work of art. The steadfastness of both the couple's gazes is a nice touch. Only the bravest and wisest can balance both Love and Duty. The shading on the outfits is wonderful.

I only wish my skill was up to this standard. I still haven not been able to do a decent face yet...

wow.. I love this!! There is something about thier culture that sparks interest into my imaginasion! The expression on thier faces is really good! Great job!

They both look very strong, and yet the softness of their embrace says a lot about their love for each other.
I hope their story has a happy ending...

To me this man looks like he is very discontented with something. Or like he is planning something in his mind...he embraces his wife but doesn't seem to really notice her. He seems absent, hard and occupied...Even "evilish" in a way. Conclusion: the expression on his face is fantastic! Gives me something to be impressed about. Beautiful picture!;-)
