    Minamoto Yoshimitsu was a bad-ass mofo from the heian period (794-1185).

    So I get started stripgeneratin' this bad-ass lookin mofo. So far, not bad!

    I alrdy haz KATANA!

    Rockin! But here's my problem. When I draw on paper, at this point I start wire-framing my characters and usually with a couple crosses and bubbles I build a good dummy with a proper stance.

    In stripgenerator land, that's a bit of an exhausting exercise. There's already enough layer flippin' groupin' ungroupin' rotatin' and other culminatins' that I dont need the extra gymnastics of dealing with a wireframe. So bad-ass mofo turns into....

    Handzes!

    Seriously, I need a better strategy!

    Do not fear me for I am a weak and pityful samurai! I am not even wearing my swords properly because samurai didn't wear their blades upwards until about the 1400's! And besides, my stance is totally off, it's like I want to die! You have to draw me another body dude! The great Yoshimitsu used to dissect the corpses of men killed in battle, to study them for lurnin' some nasty finish-him's. He did most certainly NOT look like a wimp!

    What I find is you need to use circles to create dynamic lines. Use a circle masked by an internal circle to get a nice, smooth sweep of a line.

    These are mostly used for legs in my comics because they give the impression of movement.

    Don't be too hard on yourself @QuickRedFox.
    What you do takes a lot of patience. I love the faces
    you create here.

    @QRF it was a deliberate choice of words,language is a big part of what I do.
    Please reflect,I look forward to the outcome of me feeding your brain. ;)

    @rukowski Hmmm. Funny you choose "reluctance". I'll have to reflect on that. Thanks. Food for thought as they say!

    these are really good
    cant help thinking that as an artist you have much more to show
    I find your reluctance to vary facial expression puzzling because I can see that you are more than capable

    He looks good to me. His Yukata looks like it could be drawn in a little more at the waist. I would say his bottom hand position is a little high as some exponents of the katana have the little finger off the bottom of the katana and around underneath it so there is no possibility that it would slip through the hands (this may be a contemporary practise though)... but what am I saying...who would even be able to produce such detail on S.G with the limited tools here.
    Until you came along, I would have thought it was very unlikely...
    Brilliant samurai again dude...

    And even harder when you don't can't draw at all. :-)

    Stripgenerator is hard.

    Yes...In fact I googled Minamoto Yoshimitsu to learn more about him. http://www3.sympatico.ca/iaido/yoshi2.htm

    As far as learning SG tips...since I'm not an artist, no. I have few techniques down... I love finding artists like you who I can live through vicariously. :-)

    I shall name this technique "teaching samurai history by means of artistic complaint"... or is that too long?

    @calm But you did learn some things right right? ;)

    Gosh, the details are amazing! I can't understand how you could be unhappy with his...a wimp is not the word I would ever use to describe him. I'm loving your work! :-)
