What started out as a random sketch turned into this.
This is a picture of Kotaru Fuma from Samurai Warriors 2 in a bangaa form I gave him with Shard, a little viera character of Cit's.

Fuma is known as being the embodiment of Chaos. In our random rpg, Fuma finds Shard, who is a an orphan that had shut herself up to the rest of the world after her parents' death. However, when Fuma finds Shard, they both start to change, Shard starts to open herself up more and Fuma starts acting more like a normal person and not the chaotic killer he was.
As they spend more time together, Shard sees Fuma more as a father and Fuma starts acting like a father to her, so Fuma cares a lot about her and will act appropriately should anyone threaten her.


Since this is the last week for classes for me, and I still have trades and commissions to do, I decided to get my hands on a tablet from the school and work on this for fun since all I had was the original concept sketch.
In the end I'm very happy with the final result. Some parts of the shading bothers me a bit, but I think I did my best working those out.
The background was actually a photo I used and altered in Photoshop to fit the image and work for the scene.

Photoshop CS2.
