Description Chopping wood for a whole day...just for a cup of tea from the restaurant?
But that really was Hayashida Heihachi's introduction from the Samurai-7 anime. Not having money to pay for the tea, Heihachi suggested using his sword to chop wood and make toothpicks for the cost. A nice volunteer indeed! It's a bit......for a samurai to use his sword in this way, though.
(And he even works with a smiling face...)

You couldn't deny that Heihachi's a good guy, but he does have further reasons for being volunteer...and not saving money for living. During wartime, he once leaked critical information to the enemy just for money, which leads to his whole battalion's death.
In order to atone for his betrayal, Heihachi tries his best to do good things for the others...and tries to behead any betrayers he meets.

Finally finished coloring all of my outlines! This one was drawn on September--really old indeed. I I even didn't finished watching the whole anime when I drew this...

I used to forgot most of the details while drawing Heihachi, but "practice makes perfect".
Glad you like the background! I'm quite satisfied with it too.

Ah, of course. Any ools are nothing without skills to use them. And skill comes from plenty of practice. But, you knew that.

You're welcome. Keep on keeping on!

Cute! Good idea to leave a bit of space at the top, it draws focus and I love his happy little music note!

Thankyou for commenting!
Added the tubes accidently just because there's so empty...perhaps I should put more attention on planning backgrounds.
Yup, Heihachi often hums while he's working!

Thanks for commenting!
You know that interesting anime too? Since there's few fanarts about Samurai 7 on DA, I just have to "contribute"...

And...may I ask about the "temple walls" you commented on my last pic again? Is it related to the anime or other thing...
