BBF Vol 1: Samurai Roku/ Space Samurai Sixby ~MrGrumpyy

Scraps

Name: Space Samurai Six
Original Name: Samurai Roku
Original Year: 2005
Redone: Spring 2011
Type: Original

Original Storyline:

Number Six is a renegade space nomad: No one knows who he is, where he is from, nor where he is headed. He is only known for his deadly samurai skills and a number: 6. After a confrontation on a wasteland plant outside the Sullust system, he is approached by a young traveler named Kobayashi. He pleas to Number Six to help him save his father from bounty hunters, to which Six agrees to do.

Little do either of them know, the bounty hunters who hold Kobayashi's father are the soldiers of the violent warlord known as The Shogun: the commander of the Six Deadly Samurais, setting a trap for the samurai that disobeyed the Shogun: The Sixth Samurai.

Why?

I'm not going to lie, 2005 was the prime revival of my drawing skills, and I was a major weeaboo: I tried to write Japanese all the time, loved anime and manga, and had a longtime obsession with samurai (this isn't the only samurai series I tried to make, you'll eventually find that out) and I did all of this while listening to Linkin Park non stop. Looking back at it now, I'm not too ashamed of the idea of the samurai Number Six going rogue because he could no longer obey his master, The Shogun, because of the dark deeds he had to commit. Everything else was total shit, though. It was a hybrid of poorly drawn manga mixed with also with my obsession with Star Wars (I had always been a huge fan, and that was the year Epsiode III came out). But all in all, it was a total fail. Samurais in space? Tsh, yeah.... whatever, bro.

Your comic covers always look so professional. I'm loving your composition and design work here.

Samurai in space, hasn't Anime covered that like a bazillion times by now? Though with an interesting twist it could not be cheesy and lame.

This Roku guy looks cool though now that you've redone him. I'm interested to see more.

When you're a kid, apparently you don't think so.

*3rdeye88 Aug 25, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

yeah. A good artist always thinks they're not that good and can improve. If we stop pushing ourselves we stay stuck in the same area, doing the same things and never moving forward. Heh, who know's where you'll be in another 6-7 years.

I see a Akira Toriyama influence in designs and colors, the remake is a improvement. I see a seinin genre with the way you went with black and red color scheme. Very mature.

~MrGrumpyy Aug 24, 2012 Student Artist

That's a strong possibility. If so, it was probably a subconscious influence.
I'm glad you like it. Thank you.

You mentioned in one of your commentaries that you liked Dragonball from time to time, so I'll take your word for it.

~Zrock-Radio Aug 21, 2012

Holy god it is amazing how much you have improved over the years.
What the hell Grumpy.
Stop being awesome.
