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

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 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!!
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

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!!
Oh, well thank you! I was thinking more of the arch in the back and arms but, haha, I appreciate it
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 Just telling it as I see it

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
