So, I'm a big fan of Johnny J. Segura III's artwork (I'm amazed at what he can do with markers & he's equally skilled with his digital artwork!), and I've had this idea for my character Dengeki Ryouji to have a retractable ball-and-chain tail flail weapon for a long while now, a la Kill Bill's Gogo Yubari's weapon of choice, the Meteor Hammer!
Besides being a big fan of Johnny's artwork, he's actually drawn dynamic scenes similar to the chain work here for me before:

So, it was a no-brainer that Johnny should be the one to draw the debut of Dengeki's ball-and-chain tail flail weapon, and he was kind enough to do it. He decided to try a new marker drawing style for the first time on this, and it turned out amazing! The pose and tail chain work are super dynamic! And the drawing style is wicked beautiful!
I designed Dengeki Ryouji as an homage to my favourite character ever, Great Mazinger, who was created by Go Nagai The Mecha Master! I, also, included some elements from the X-Men Nightcrawler [my favourite Marvel character ever, who was created by master character designer Dave Cockrum] and Colossus [who was also created by The Dave Cockrum], when designing Dengeki. The Eye of Horus, samurai, and knights were also key elements in Dengeki's design.
And here's the Awesomesauce full gallery of drawings that Johnny's done of my characters:
