my side of the challenge to

im not sure if the picture was due today or the 16th. [taras, your latest note said 12th but i really remember starting this on the 16th of january...] so i put it today to be on the safe side.

sadly, he may have lost his end of the challenge (flash drives, i cant say anything cuz i lost mine). thats no fun, but i did get syked enough to make a samarai with all my favorite ways to do a picture: exagerated perspective, realistic pencil shading and anatomy, and complicated character designs.

in many ways this is unfinished. i couldnt work up the courage to make a BG for this one. i know where the horizen would be and all that i just couldnt figure out what to put back there with him. :/

plus i kinda skipped out on some of the colors, and i needed something oter then the white bg... also i have edited the pencils in my sketchbook around the pants. the perspective looks better now, but thats in my sketchbook and not here. he looks kinda short but thats ok

..... i dont want to win by default man....
