Description Started out as an eye doodle but some lead, 3 ink pens, one cheap marker, a clean up in photoshop, and a couple layers later we have . . . Akamatsu Chikuma! (Oh and Chikuma is her first name).This is one of my rpg starwars characters. Her twin brother and her were soldiers but have gone the path of mercenaries. In the future I will be submitting a pic of her twin Akamatsu Tatsukichi and also one of them together. In the one with both of them they will have their weapons so it should be pretty sweet. Anywho, I started this the other night and was able to finish it today (surprise with all that hair, grr). I will be posting this again later on but in color. Hope u all like this.

thanks! . . . oh yeah I did say that didn't I. Yeah I attemped color a while back and I killed it, but maybe I could try again. Yeah she has some sweet weapons. . .*smiles*. Kinda held out on that one though cause it was gonna be full body and I kinda get mad when I do those, lol.

This is really awesome. I've been trying to learn to use inks well for quite some time, perhaps I'll just follow your exceptional lead. This picture reminds me of a mixture between Yuu Watase's style and Myung Jin Lee's. You did a great job!
