The Swordsman Refined

Well some of you may remember my samurai picture. Well I lost it. So here is a new one that I've whipped up. It's still WIP, so I'd like some critiques on it. It's still got the same basic pose as the other guy, and I fixed some stuff. I didn't finish shading it.

I also figured out how to make my scanner work :D

EDIT oh and if anyone can figure out what his blade is called, I'll give you a cookie.

Well, the symbols on the sword translates to "big knife", but I think you're referring to Diakatana (<-not a fan)

Good job! You get a cookie! In chinese that translates to big knife or big sword. Any comments/crits on the drawing though?

nope, it means "big blade". the second word means knife but when used on a weapon it means sabre or something of that meaning.
Daikatana is lame, the words they used for daikatana is not a special mark of the game so I dont think he is refering to that game(and the game sux anyway)

What game?

Daikatana... even I understood what they were talking about by now.

-Bloody hell!-

nice anamtomy

i agree... allthough i think the head is a tad too large... but it looks quite nice.

You're right it does... weird. Doesn't look like that on paper. Any other crits/comments?

It seems like the sword is a bit too small, and is the picture based on the Japanese type swordsmen?

Hooray!

that is a nice pic... and PIGMY MAN OF DOOM HAS RETURNED...

You really got the proportions down well...

the only thing that makes the head look to big is the beard... i think...

Hehehe I love the pic but sword should bebigger.
And the heads not to big he just has a small Chest and short arms. :) Great job.

Right arm looks a little longer then left might be the perspective though.
Its not longer by more then a hair.

Umm the armpit area well under that spot looks a little flat makes his chest look more like armor.

lol. That makes me feel so much better :ggani:.
