The Samurai, Rayvin

Here's a pic of based on one of the hardest working and most inspirational artists (and my girlfriend...) I've ever met... . It's a shame she never updates her dA page. I guess its a sort of a continuation of the last picture I did in this style... [link]
On the downside the likeness is waaaaay off, this actually doesn't look much like her at all.

It's been so long since I did that last one that I basically had to re-teach myself everything I had learned that first time. I do enjoy these, so much so that I may continue with the series. A sort of kung fu/ superhero re-imagining of my friends.

Credit time!
