The assignment this time was to draw a samurai walking away dragging his sword behind him. Thinking of the samurai movies from the mid 1900's, my boss wanted a beefier, musashi-like, samurai. This created a lot of problems because its just not that interesting an image for a shirt, but after much deliberation and the decision to add some more elements to it, I think it has become a success.
