My favourite artist is Oh!Great, because he is able to combine realism with great design, what does it for me is attention to detail. Where Hiroaki Samura’s sword is just a monotone piece of metal Oh!Great would put the waves on the blade from how it was forged, there would be a hilt and the handle would have an intricate grip of woven silk usually with hiragana and katakana and samurai swords would usually have a lanyard where you can see the thread twist and turn and ending in a tassle.
glad I’m not the only one that doesn’t use that circle outline crap
Oh my god a sharpener!! Haven’t seen one is ages!!
on a slightly different note… I wonder what that yellow liquid is…
oh and awesome skills.

Hiroaki Samura = GOD
Mugen no Juunin (Blade of the Immortal) is easily the best seinen manga i have ever read (and still ongoing).
For you who haven’t read it, i highly recommend it. Samura has this ability to convey all the emotions on his MnJ scenes without needing a single text,
sometimes you get a 6-7 pages of full action panels without a single text and the reader can still knows what he’s trying to show/convey.
Pure awesomeness.
the anime adaptation was like a step back in time from all the digital/ cg animes today. plus it was very fluent, and polished.
