SciFi and Fantasy Art L5R - Gaijin Bushi (Shinjo Taka) by Sean C. Riley


	Though birthed of half gaijin blood, he was raised as a samurai by his father, who smuggled his son away to avoid being sacrificed merely for being born with red hair. Despite having no contact with his mother's native culture, he has never been able to escape the destiny laid down for him by his gaijin ancestry.

27 Jan 2002	AnvilX	Loading... Incredible! I love your artwork. I have added you to my Favorite art sites. I hope you dont mind but I am stealing the hair style in this picture for my stories. Keep it up I look forward to visiting and seeing more great pictures.
4 Mar 2002	Archangel	Loading... Very few people can capture the calm fury in the eyes of the Warrior , absolutley unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 Jul 2002	Lyndell Stout	Loading... ...hmmm... the nose to forehead transistion seems a bit too small to me. However, the outstanding details in his costume and hair makes it easy to overlook such minor issues.
15 Aug 2002	Doji Neriko <	Loading... I have only one thing to say: If Alderac's art division hasn't called upon you to do some work for them, they should. The fur trim on the mantle is a nice touch. Only a Unicorn could flout Rokugani taboos so gracefully. Magnificent...simply magnificent.
5 Jun 2003	Ningyo	Loading... Of all your pictures, I was drawn to this one for some reason. It very well could be the Eye of Horus on the man in the background or the story behind it. It's quite an extraordinary piece. I would kill to see this colored. He has red hair? That would look both awesome and quite interesting. I'm so jealous of the skills you possess. Wonderful picture, and keep up the good work!
7 Oct 2003	Your Irish brethren	Loading... (Covet overwhelming)
2 Sep 2004	Sara Melissa Bean	Loading... Nice concept and very good style of drawing.
9 Mar 2006	Isawa Nazomitsu	Loading... There are so many intricate details in this picture that it's hard to choose which ones to praise. The hair style, the fur trim on his clothes, the tattoo on the man in the background, the hilt of the sword - they all combine to make a great picture of a complex character.
19 Aug 2006	Dragon warshipper	Loading... What is up with all this Japanese stuff! sigh oh well at least this is a good picture. have you tried making copies of this and selling them?
25 Oct 2007	Silent Speaker	Loading... i'm an L5R player myself...and I can't help but wonder. why a tsuruchi (wasp) and what looks like unicorn mon on his kimono? how can he have both? just curious. I'd be interested to hear more about his story. Sean C. Riley replies: "The character's name is Shinjo Taka. He is a Unicorn (the mon on his breast is the Shinjo mon) who, by special arrangement, spent time training with the Wasp Clan (this was before they became the Tsuruchi of the Mantis). As such, he is allowed to wear the Wasp mon on his sleeve as a sign of respect."
