I always had a fascination with the Japanese art of sword drawing- "Iaido" truly an art form that hones the mind, body and spirit.

War Dance

I think this would be the last scorpion clan themed painting I make. Thinking of making a few ones for the Spider and the Dragon clans as well as my interpretation on the various Kami's for each of the clans of Rokugan.

But before that... here's a Scorpion Clan Courtier/ Shugenja.

Feigned Submission Strike

This was done a while back and was actually the original pose of the samurai battling the oni. I wasn't too happy with it so I decided to change the hand pose. And since he was already an almost fully rendered piece- he gets a slot of his own.

Again, a scorpion clan themed piece...

Unsheathe....

Another scorpion clan themed piece...

Holiday Oni Hunting

What better way to spend the holidays than wielding your dual katanas and duking it out with tentacled Oni from the pits of Jigoku!

Done a couple of days ago. Original size was 23 x 19 inches at 300dpi.

Merry Christmas!

Life is a play, and I shall be the villain!

a samurai from the Scorpion Clan and swordsman of the Bitter Lies Dojo. the scorpion clan are considered to be the "underhand" of the empire of rokugan. they specialize in politics, spying and assassination.

a tribute to my favorite clan of the CCG L5R.
