Description
for SDL, a feudal japane based fighting competition....the whole damn day TT.TT
DESCRIPTION
Name: Dashu
Age: 28/30 (he looks older, cause smoking kills )
Character:
Dashu is always chilled, smokes and smiles all the time.
He doesn't care about things like legality, the most important to him is his own advantage.
( to mention that he is NOT evil, he just doesn't care a pap for things, mainly because he's always smoking the stuff in this ominous cigarette).
Maybe you will see him on the shopping street pilfering an apple or two.
He is always talking slang and that very much, actually he's talking like all the time.
Weapon:
The gunsword is a matchlock with sword-like edges at the upper and lower sides.
Because of its heavyness Dashu needs to wield it with both hands, so his blows are kinda slow (compared to e.g. a light katana) . Nevertheless his footwork is excellent, so his fighting style stays fast and individual.
Individuality is the biggest strenght of Dashu. Because of the combination of close- and distance range weapons he can deal with most types of fighting styles and can change the whole situation within a few seconds.
The gun can shoot just one bullet at the time and after the shot Dashu needs to reload the gun (see ref sheet for more info). Since the reloading takes a heck of time, he tries to shoot as rarely as possible.
When shooting, Dashu doesn't set the gun powder to fire by pulling the trigger, but uses his cigarette.
(how to matchlock; see the ref sheet, or watch this: [link] )
Why does he enter SDL?
-'Cause he's bored and looks for some amusement in deadly fights. :>

lol this picture is so old by now i almost forgot about it...
i guess youre right the design is fun, i was thinking of afro samurai alot when i designed it. the weapon is fairly generic and a bit too fantasy styled..

8D AW YEAH, awesomesauce! Looks much more refined than the previous.
I also love the sword-rifle-thinger idea, especially with the cigarette part!...even though I liked his cannon-arms. XD Can he still manage to have those even while using his rifle-sword?

No, SDL is 100% reality, so every sort of fantasy and stuff is erased, He's a normal human with two normal arms
You could say we have two versions of Dashu now.^^

Undercurrent-32 In reply to GoGoDan [2009-08-01 21:04:08 +0000 UTC]
A single 0,4 fineliner! Yes, I'm poor
I draw some lines twice, exspecially the outlines, guess thats why it looks like markers^^
Actually I don't know a single shop thats specific for artists, by having a closer look to where I live, it's kinda empty

im going to have to steal your inking style... my inking style is messy.

Undercurrent-32 In reply to GoGoDan [2009-08-01 21:28:32 +0000 UTC]
Naaaaaaaaah, its part of your style! D:
Black&White drawings with such a strict way of inking might look a little boring, it's kinda sterile and not very dynamic.
I didn't use it for example in my AatR audition to make it look more alive [link] and (exspecially in action scenes)I'll stay doing this.
This inking style is only good for splash pages or to express rest and cessation

YES, goal achieved!
I had a second idea, he ignores the match and sets fire to the powder with his cigarette! 8D
