"Kazegami devoted his life to restoring peace to these lands
And now war is consuming us once more
I did not start this war, but by the Tenkitsune I will end it...
Even if I have to grind everything he has built to dust.

What are YOU smiling about?"

At long last I have finished this! It took me much, much longer than I am used to, partly because of things happening and gouache taking me a tad longer than watercolours.

I had so many doubts concerning the colour scheme, and despite my best efforts it feel very inharmonious to me. Oh well :P

So basically, what we have here is Akarai showing a side of him that is not often seen. He is by nature a very cheerful and happy-go-lucky character, but when he gets serious, he goes full warlord. Also decided that his weapon of choice is a Nodachi. To the untrained eye a nodachi just seems like a longer katana, while it is in fact... An almost impractically long katana XD While the sword is by all means too big for him, Akarai swings it about with a disconcerting lack of effort (but there's a reason for that)
Also he had his armour and weapons inlaid with amber, because it helps him build up electrical charges.

Critique is always welcome! If you don't give your honest opinion Akarai will find out where you live and make you watch him drink tea while he glares at you >:]
