Fanart of Rurouni Kenshin: Reminiscence
(aka Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal)
Characters © Nobuhiro Watsuki


I saw some gorgeous artwork by an absolutely amazing artist named ukitakumuki the other day. (See my Favorites page.) It inspired me to try something new with my own artwork. I didn't want to copy ukitakumuki's style. (Heck, I couldn't if my life depended on it. I'm not that good.) But I did want to experiment with my own.

And this picture was the result. I'm pretty happy with it. It turned out fairly close to what I pictured in my head. Anyway, it's not very detailed, but it wasn't meant to be. This was fun to do.

Sketched, colored, and shaded on Photoshop. Took about 2 and a half hours total. (Most of the time was spent doing the clouds. I hate drawing clouds.)

My Rurouni Kenshin obsession has been going strong for almost a year now. Wow. I've never been so obsessed with anything like this in my life. Woohoo.

i wouldn't have even guessed it was a drawing of ruroni kenshin by the thumbnail. it's so much better when someone tries things from a different style then just trying to copy what somone else already created. great work. *favorite*
