Genjuro Kibagami (Samurai Shodown)

I am not a big fan of anime or manga but Samurai Shodown it’s beyond manga but Genjuro it’s too fucking sick I just had to give him a new look by cutting that anime haircut and giving him a realistic haircut. While painting Genjuro I was watching Ninja Scroll an anime movie (best anime movie ever) Shijima remind me of Genjuro a lot (face) and I thought it would look creative if I mixed Genjuro and Shijima faces. I added the red dots in the background because its represent the flag of Japan.

Avoid the Noid!!!

I had been a fan of the Noid as a little kid until this day he still my favorite character of all time. Painting the Noid really did take me back to early 90’s. In my mind the Noid is the face of cartoon and superhero villain (comic) On this project I was just aiming something different from other painting that I have done before. This project got little flavors from cartoon to comic and for the first time ever I decided to add a new signature (“6”) just for this special project.
