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.

Here we go. This is awesome.

Adam Jaques on Feb 06 '07

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.

try black or white 5$, no dout, keep up the good work, i love this

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 like it!

the sword isnt so straight...but its ok i guess..

MooseDinner on Feb 06 '07

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. :-)

Those colors look great on the dark blue.

Love it. $5 from me.

grypesagon on Feb 07 '07

:-) nifty. you are my first announced $5

lady_riain on Feb 07 '07

beautiful. I would buy! 5$

LedPizza on Feb 07 '07

yeah I'm gonna have to agree with Tazl I love it but the hilt should be facing the other way other with it's a $5

grypesagon on Feb 07 '07

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

char8425 on Feb 07 '07

I really like this one too!!! Definaly a must for my wardrobe!! 5$

Petanca on Feb 08 '07

Aw nice!

grypesagon on Feb 08 '07

:-) thanks guys

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!

grypesagon on Feb 08 '07

:-) thanks

spamantha on Feb 08 '07

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$

grypesagon on Feb 08 '07

i'm gald you approve. I loved your "Raincloud" :-D

Lemursauce on Feb 08 '07

I think the sword looks perfect :)
