Cool stuff!

That one by Kagan Mcleod is especially neat.

I picked up a few free sketches for myself from some of the guests at the last MCCC I took my nephews to, but my nephews have accumulated quite a few sketches over the past three conventions I've taken them to.

Always like to see other artist's take on Usagi. These are two I posted years ago.

^^ Awesome!!
Love hearing how all of them always will say "I've never drawn Usagi Yojimbo, this is going to be fun!" I know Eisma said it was totally refreshing drawing something other than superheroes :)

My brother picked these up for me at Dragon*Con 2012.

I believe they're both watercolor. The Gen was drawn in one of Chris Schweizer's sketchbooks. 8)
