More Madam Samurai this weekend. Here's an unfinished page which I enjoyed doing. The bad guy creeps up on a drug-induced sleeping samurai, about to deliver the death blow and stray rays of the sun catch the polished steel blade slicing the darkness... and waking him up, as it would. A battle royale commences. The good news is that I'm just a tad short of hitting the halfway point (depending on what the final page count will be of course)

Here's the finished article chaps. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome, and it takes a lot to make me happy nowadays.

A MATTER OF GRAVE IMPORTANCE

A good few months back a fellow in the US asked if I'd be interested in doing a commission featuring the world's greatest detectives. I thought that sounded pretty original so I accepted. What with the graphic novel I'm drawing I've had to put any commissions aside just lately, and concentrate on the job at hand. I fancied a change of subject matter so set about the task of planning it out during the week...here's the peice so far. As of this writing it's actually completed, but I'll be updating once I get a flatbed scan of it. I'm pretty pleased with, and today I can get back to the book, so a productive weekend methinks:)
