shinsengumiby `hakubaikou

A pic of the Shinsengumi, not from any particular series even though they're featured in many shows. I wanted to do something recognizable for Anime Expo, but I didn't want to worry about fanart and copyright issues so I stuck with actual historical figures. Although I'm sure the real shinsengumi guys looked nothing like this. Anyway, I might make this a print here at DA later on, but for now, I'm just going to have prints of this at the convention. It's kind of weird looking since it's a bit flattened and the background is a bit abstract, but still, I hope it does well at the con.

Done the usual way. Start to finish on Photoshop. Not sure how long this one took, but I'd guess around 15-20 hours. I debated with myself a while before deciding to throw the foreground out of focus. I have a sharp version of it, but I think the leaves look too busy and cluttered that way.

Actually the shinsengumi had been evolving for several years, so there's no real way to tell exactly how accurate this is. The uniform looks like the ones they used after the Boshin War and became the wolves/demons of Mibu. Nevertheless, this is an amazingly well portrayed characters. I'm guessing Okita Soji, the second leader who's name escapes me, and Fujita Goro (Hajime Saito). Am i right?

Did you have any three historical figures in mind when you did this? The guy on the bottom strikes me as Toshizo Hihikata and the guy at the top as Soshi Okita...but maybe that's just me?
