Sorry for the bad picture-quality.
You see, I took the pictures with my digital camera, because my scanner isn't very good. My girlfriends father has a far better one, which I'll borrow one of these days and then post the (hopefully) better scans.
Some great drawings, Aoki, any plans on doing any inked (or colored) versions?
One comment about Yagi's sword... the Lone Wolf / Lone Goat was known for his use of the much larger dotanuki, or literally "sword that cuts through torsos." The dotanuki is a very thick, long handled sword resembling the katana.
I have only ever inked once, and it was, sorry to say, a miserable failure.
However, here I must prove you wrong.
Itto Ogami uses his dotanuki very effectively (now, what exactly Goseki Kojima imagined I am unsure of, since it seems to change in length). However, Yagi, the Lone Goat uses a daisho (an ordinary katana and wakizashi, as I'm sure you know).
I however decided to base him even more off Ogami, therefore giving him only one sword, however I couldn't rightly decipher the size of the dotanuki from my Lone Wolf and Cub comics, so it ended up with what you see.
So in a sense, I suppose I did not prove you wrong after all. Hmm. Guess we're both right, in different ways.
