oh, I like, and I tend to want to hit Rayek with a brick! Maybe it's the lack of the usual attitude-aura that surrounds him here... he's s omcuh more serene and Zen...
He's very much like Susano in a lot of ways, isn't he? At least from my understanding of him...

@Makkin: Gee, thanks...  you really flatter me  your compliments and positive support mean so much to me 
@Redshine and Kojiyumi: 
Rayek gone Samurai was quite an interesting experience to draw, because it's like Kojiyumi said... I had to change his usual atmosphere and yet leave enough of "Rayek" in him and not turn him 100% into somebody else... which was not easy.
In the end I managed to give him a melancholic facial expression, which made the Samurai damashi atmosphere arround him a little bit stronger... I'm glad, you apprechiate my attempt so much, because I really wasn't sure if I had done it "right"  |

Wow, I'm actually really surprised at how well that suits him. Beautiful!
*goes off pondering about Samurai Rayek*

Thank you Jade Owl...
Yes, I also was sceptical if it suits him, but my experiment went well...
Yokatta
 wonder, what he'd say about that though |

I love it, love it, love it! *hugs martoo and the dragon*
Dragons always used to be one of my favorite fantasy animals. The guy reminds a bit of the cover you drew for Pan and Jainoh.

Arigatou...
yes, that is true, Pan said that too... the scetch of that guy with the dragon was in my folder for a long time... I recall I had that idea after I watched an exhibition of Yoshitaka Amano's paintings... then I did the Cover of "Drachenfluch" and later on, when I moved to Japan I found that sketch in my old folder and said... "OMG he looks like Selim's" brother !!! At the same time a friend asked me to do a guy with a dragon and so I decided to ink it...
So maybe that sketch wanted desperately to be finished?! |

Ah, I see! I'd love to see it colored, but with the detailed ink and all, I think it looks terrific already.

THX !!!
I actually wanted to do a coloured version of this, but my friend wanted to publish it in a fanzine later and therefore asked me to keep it B&W... hmm, maybe I'll colour it someday... |

You did it really GOOD. The watching of this pic leaves very interesting impression.
And your new drawing is cool of couse! (I wish to learn to draw dragons too  ) |

What a beautiful dragon! They're such elegant creatures. And this one has an interesting expression to boot, somewhere between mischievous and malicious  .

@Makkin:Thank you sooo much... with your incredible talent, I bet drawing dragons is not hard at all
@Satiretto:Also big thanks to you
I don't even know the intent or background of that dragon and the guy. But maybe someday both will tell me... |
