As I've said before, I've always had the desire to imagine my OC (myself included) as being a warrior, and that Idea has carried from one form to another. Mostly dependant upon what I could do, dream of, or just see myself doing. This image is another showcase of what I love: Japanese Samurai,

The culture of the samurai can often be questionable, especially by how one's morals are tested, and in turn questions one's own character! I've often seen Jack as honorable, dutiful, but never going so far to punish others on brief sleights with the sword he carries. More so, I feel he embodies what true Samurai should stand for, the resolve to be merciful, for there is honor beyond the need to carry a blade, and beyond the narrow ideal of carrying out their Lord's command. A Samurai is not just a tool of their Lord. A Samurai can be so much more.

I've always wanted samurai art of my OCs. This is only the start :) And I can't thank this artist enough.
