FIGHTING SPIRITS 2011: THE SWORDSMAN ODAYUNE

I'm about to jump back into these black and white drawings because I've been painting too much and I feel that my sword hasn't been sharp in a while. I love pen and ink....I believe that this is my strongest medium and I love the contrast of black and white...with a little gray. I'm gonna be doing more of these fighting spirit character drawings....especially in memory of my mother who passed a couple of days ago. I got the idea through a conversation with her in August of 2008 about how good and bad spirits follow people and it's your choice as an individual to choose the paths of righteousness or corruption.

The swordsman Odayune is just one of many characters that I'll be creating.......if my heart is in it I may do some fighting spirits one shot comics....we'll see what the future holds........
