Description As the title implies, my Azalea - as a samurai/western gunslinger mashup.

In earnest, there's no real deeper explanation than that - I thought to combine two things I enjoy dearly: samurai and cowboys...on the latest iteration of my signature character.

If you're wondering why her eyes are a tad different here - I wanted to experiment with a combo old-style cartoon and anime look.

Her color scheme btw, is a direct translation of the colors on her normal gear - for the curious. OH! and also - that eyepatch, a very subtle nod to my favorite samurai warlord - Date Masamune
- Azalea herself doesn't need one, she has one here for 'cool factor'

Hope you like it!

NOTE:
The "Old Timey Photograph Texture" that's here, was created by a fellow DArtist and can be located here: [link]

That's a neat combination I've always liked. XDDDD Ninjas... Damn! Well, of course not a ninja, but a samurai, still. Damn! =3
