@SwordSong got to check out Immortal and Vagabond - lol i completely forgot about Samurai Warriors used to play that and dynasty warriors back in tge day, thanks to that game anytime i hear Akechi Mitsuhide or read his name in anything Japanese history related, i always think of a handsome youthful guy with long flowing hair 🤣
True, and saw Korean dramas use him as a villian role bec of he was involved in invasion of Korea i guessing.
Also reminds me of Amakusa who also had a villian-ish role in kenshin and ninja scroll series.
Interesting you also have merchant ancestry? Thats awesome you found a connection with him and fun to see how it comes along
True he would have been the minority and misunderstood at the time and yep youre right they were rigid with rules too, i rem at one point they locked off outsiders, on the flipside, they managed to keep lots of their rich culture intact.Nice look forward to your versions of these Korran officers and Hideyoshi.
Random memory: if i remember Hideyoshi was responsible for Mitsuhide defeat, but i forget.
I haven't actually read Vagabond myself (it revolves around Musashi Miyamoto, and is by the same author/artist who made Slam Dunk); I collected several of the cover art and several scanned pages to use as drawing reference, but I'm wary of actually jumping into it because it's currently on hiatus and I'd rather not start a series that might not actually finish
what I mean by having merchant ancestry is that my family do business. I'm actually starting to get into the business stuff myself after a decade of trying to dodge the task (which is why I haven't been able to work on my creative projects too much, unfortunately)
I did manage to finish 1 an old wip illustration for Yukinaga after months of distraction & procrastination, although it's a weird historical crossover pic instead of anything related to the story:
He looks so happy in this pic, which i's a rarity XD
Hi, sorry, I know that this thread is not for this, but I just wanted for people to know that I like your boys so much that I am doing a couple of fan arts of them, based on vibes alone. Mostly lineart really. I need to practice and this is an excellent excuse.
Anyway, here is @LavenderLeavened and @Oriflamme OC's.
I will be doing a couple of more, depending on my time, so please people keep submitting your boys! I will be posting them in bluesky -because I don't want to hijack this thread with my posts-

@SwordSong nice Musashi is awesome, never saw/read Slam Dunk but heard about it. Googled vagabond, the art is awesome, real cool how the artist drew the wild look of his hair
Yep no stress work according to your comfort I remember feeling like that in before I started mines, but once I did, it became like an addiction to get the next finished so who knows, maybe you might adopt similar drive when you do? No worries as you can always make an announcement for your readers should you need to take a break.
Lol tryin to dodge the fams for a decade XD You sound like a RL manga chara there lol. Don't give up hope, maybe eventually, once you settled in the business, never know, some extra time may pop up for creative stuff
That came out awesome! Love the way you captured the metallic sheen and details on St. Maurice's armor. Yep hes looking happy, very serene and scenic crossover. You did a nice job capturing the distant with your shading, but can maybe look into videos on YT for 'perspective drawing' and 'vanishing point/ one point perspective/two point perspective' if you were planning to capture the indoor flooring and balcony in a realistic angle (unless there was a reason you chose to do so, ignore this). And true these unrelated pics are always fun, look forward to what you draw next keep it up
Yes @stiatent Theo is Harry’s brother. Two years younger than him.
