Description ARRRGH I CANNOT DRAW SAMURAI ARMOR. This was so frustratingly difficult to draw. I'm still not happy with it.

Many people know Tomoe as a historical badass. I decided to turn a little bit and make her a BASARA-esque villain. Yeah, she wasn't around during the Sengoku Era, but you know what? Motonari was dead before Nobunaga came to power.

A destructive force of rage and undying will. Tomoe is a woman of many talents in war, with only one desire: to ascend to godhood. Knowing this is nearly impossible doesn't stop her, though--instead, she bides her time, slowly and steadily taking out any army that stands before hers. Her past is shrouded in mystery, and some say she must be a demon. If she shows mercy to an opponent, it's only because she thinks they aren't trying hard enough and wants a rematch. She hates the majority of women, especially pushovers like Ayane or Oichi. She's known for beheading enemy soldiers and only leaving the bodies on the battlefield.

As you know, Nana's haircolor is "Ambiguous Brown." Tomoe's is "Ambiguous blonde."

I know, which is why I took a different spin.

How awesome she is!! She would so rock as a villainess or an anti-heroine! I wonder who could voice here Yoshiko Sakakibara, Kumiko Watanabe, or Kikuko Inoue?

well herro there. An AWESOME choice for a villain. and hah, Basara never was known for it's historical accurecy.

I'd like to see her scrap against Oda, THAT would be a fight for the ages.

nice work of course, I like her outfit, and yeah armor's a pain in the arse, I'm glad I've done it so many times to be used to it.

one suggestion, or more like a question: is the blade on her weapon suppose to be that short? if so..I would suggest it be longer, to give her more of a Jolt! in terms of looks and intimidation. a big ol blade on a stick, yeah?

Yes, it's a naginata. She's typically depicted wielding one.
