Samurai Waterfalls

-1/6/06-

This one's called Samurai Waterfalls.Made with Photoshop CS2 mainly, and Painter XI for the inital work, as well as my trusty Intuous 2 tablet. Dont leave home without it. Anyway, I made an earlier version last year
Heres the one I made a year ago

Originally I wanted to simply show a peaceful scene of a Samurai resting on a rock near a waterfall. The rock he's siting on is the rock of tranquility, which is sorta what the womans face represents, peace and comfort to all that sit upon her. I hope i acheived this feeling in a sense and show a lot of progress. I see flaws in his head, his hands, his sword, the water, and other parts, but overall i'm pleased.

I worked extremly hard on this one, and I am proud of my progress throughout this year. I am excided to see just how much better i'll be by this tme next year if I can come this far. I Thank GOD for giving me this gift as my skills continue to develop and expand. Thanks for looking.
