Each year I redo an illustration I first did in college of a samurai with a flaming sword. This year, I also made the illustration the cover for my artbook. Hope you like it!

Here are all the illustrations:

Thanks guys! I likes to end the year on a high note.

I know eh Rawls? Stupid 2007 ... I don't know what happened there, but that samurai on the bridge was the closest I had..

I need to find the full-res version of 2003. It's on a cd in a closet somewhere.

Thanks! People seem to like this cover ... I guess that's the new bar.

Yep, it's Illustrator line-work and then the colour is painted in PS on the cintiq. I'm rendering out a process screen-capture right now. I'll post it shortly.
