In pretty much all of these, you look like you actually know how to handle a katana...Which is a gigantic, epic plus; a lot of shots with pretty girls and weapons look like the girls in question haven't got an inkling about what side is to kill with...You, at the other hand...Well, see the first part :D

Thank you, very much! I'm actually a karate student. I mainly study Isshinryu, where you cannot handle weaponry until brown belt in our association. I did do a small stint in Aikido, and we did weapon work there. In these images, I've most definitely exaggerated the moves, for one would NEVER hold a blade that far back :XD: That's just asked to get slashed in the face, haha. But it is definitely aesthetically pleasing.
Thank you for the compliment. I really appreciate that and I'm glad it comes across!! :heart:

Upon closer inspection I saw that what you were wielding a practice sword I saw (and used) when doing a one-shot lesson of kendo...'Twas enough to confirm my suspicions ;)

As for the aesthetically pleasing part...I certainly agree :) 'Tis a very nice way of describing the shots and you yourself, if you'll excuse me the comment :)

All in all...You're very much welcome :nod:

Hahaha indeed. This is my friend's boken. I don't actually have one. I wasn't involved in Aikido for long enough to get one. But it's a good size for a small space and gives an idea of the weight and strain of a real weapon, and by both digital and traditional artists can be removed for some other item ;) Haha, maybe a steel spiked club for all I know!! :XD:

Oh, well thank you! :blush: I was thinking more of the arch in the back and arms but, haha, I appreciate it :heart:
:iconhellwolve:
It's a good idea using it, I concur :) Too bad you don't have your own, but it's handy you could borrow it :) And, a steel spiked club...Not a bad idea at all ;)

Once more, you're quite welcome :nod: :D Just telling it as I see it :)

Wanted to let you know that I have used your stock, this image in my latest manipulation and continuing story. You can see it here, if you like.

Thank you for the great stock, I am sure to use more.
