5 colors. I think it looks best on Denim but any blue would do.

Apparently last time I described the meaning of my submission it hurt me so I'm shuttin up. :-)

But Kashira is the japanese term for the decorative cap on the end of the hilt. (Where the cardinal is perched)

Pretty nice! I like it on the medium blue..

I'm no samurai-sword expert, but this honestly doesn't remind me of a sword as much as a bendy pole.. maybe make it look sharper, or give more definition to the line running down the middle of the sword? The cardinal and hilt looks really good, though.

I would actually prefer it if the sword was smaller in the bottom left of the shirt

theurbanraptor on Feb 06 '07
yeah this is a for sure winner if the handle was fixed a bit.

It's actuially based on the sword i use in my practice. It's called a "jin tachi"



I chose placement after imagining what it would look like on both male and female wearers. The contour of the sword would fit fairly well I think.

I agree with Adam Jaques. I think you should make the sword a little smaller, and, rather than having it balancing on end, make it look like it's stuck in the ground.

grypesagon on Feb 06 '07
I was originally thinking of putting it stuck in the ground. However I opted against it. To cut it of abruptly without and ground actually drawn would look more awkward. To draw a ground would throw off the flow and aesthetic construct. :-)

lol. I probably should've labelled this image "The hilt is NOT backwards."

I wouldn't personally add this to my wardrobe.. but as far as the artwork goes.. i love it!

I love how simple lines add detail and texture. It's funny (to me) how the thing I like most about this illustration is the ribbon that's coming off the sword. I just think it looks amazing!

Well done!

man i have been angry at a bunch of terrible submissions in a row, with all the same cutesy popular animals and stuff. I almost just gave you a terrible score before i actually looked! the drawing is nice, and i like the colors! i don't really feel like it needs to be in the ground or anything. very pretty stylistically! 5$

if you have to have blue than the medium blue is best but I think that black would be better. It's a nice design though. Good luck.
grypesagon
grypesagon on Feb 10 '07
I just don't like black if It's not essential to the design.
