(2008) A friend asked me to draw a samurai and a gueisha in a "toy art" style, and here is the result.
Basically a "shinsen-gumi" style samurai. I prefered not using the traditional "mage" hair style as I don't think it has a good image outside japan. Also, it is pretty "aggressive", but I kept his sword drawn because it is a kind of samurai trademark. So please imagine he is just practicing some "iai suburi" or something like that.
And the girl is not exactly a"gueisha", as they tend to wear a more stravagant clotches and hair accessories. So, this one would be just a normal girl wearing a traditional kimono.
This piece will be my "R.I.P." to my old friend Freehand, that corrupted my file for the last time. Fortunaly AI:CS3 managed to recover the work.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.

Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.
