Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Here's a pic I did of Usagi and Gen sparring. I was testing some new pens and decided to draw my favourite rabbit bodyguard. I used a photo reference for the bodies, but the heads are mine. Thanks to Stan for the inspiration

I hope you guys like it.

Looks great!
Please feel free to share more "test" drawings.

Thanks, I'm really pleased you like it. I don't have any other Usagi Yojimbo pics atm although I do have a couple of Japanese/samurai ones. Is it ok to post those here? And if so, should I start a new thread or use this one?

Post away! I know I, at least, would enjoy seeing more of your samurai related artwork.

It is up to you if you want to post them in this thread or start a new one in either the All things Japan or Ronin Ramblings forums. Personally, I would just continue in this thread, but you would know best if they would fit better under a differant topic heading.

Abayo,
Steve

Thanks, I'll post them here then rather than clutter the place with new threads. If someone thinks I should move them later I will.

First is a ronin.



A Lone Wolf and Cub fan art



A (bad) portrait of Hatsumi Masaaki of the Bujinkan



And a sketch for a an as yet uncompleted pic



All except the last used photo references.

I hope you like them

Sweet! I like them a lot! Thanks for sharing matahachi!

Peace, maka

Definitely some cool drawings! I really like the drawing of the Ronin.

By the way, Welcome to the Usagi Yojimbo Dojo Forum!

(So distracted by the cool art, I forgot to be polite)

Thank you both very much! You're very kind I forgot to say that the ronin was inked using the Manga Studio drawing program rather than ink which is why it looks a bit different to the others.

Thanks for the welcome Steve. I'm still reading up on the rest of the forum which is why I haven't posted elsewhere., but I hope to be active here even if I'm a relative newcomer to Usagi Yojimbo.

Pretty awesome work! Your inks are very beautiful.

Wow thanks! Everyone here is so kind!

welcome!I like the perspective in the ronin drawing, looking up here seems to symbolize the adventurous path and tasks up ahead of him...
nice work!!!

Thank you so much. That was the kind of thing I had in mind so I'm glad you picked up on it
