First, let me thank you all for your support and the kind words, thoughts, and prayers you extended for my family. My Dad really appreciated it and it definitely buoyed his spirits for you to know he has so many folks rooting for him. I’ll do better about responding to the comments, because things are starting to slow down and coalesce toward a new normalcy.
Here’s part two of WESTERN SUN RISING. It’s a huge double-page spread that I really like. The only problem I have with it is that I wasn’t quite sure about all the exact configuration of a samurai’s robes, so I wish I had incorporated more accurate details. Nonetheless, I was extremely proud of the general flow and bunching of the folds. Also, on these pages, the lettering is incorporated into the artwork via paste-up, however Kenzo’s dialogue shrunk considerably in the final scan, so for the sake of legibility, I re-did it in Adobe Illustrator.

I say you shop the Kenzo character/storyline as downloadable content for Red Dead Redemption.
i hate westerns with a passion…long story involving having a grandmother who looked at bonaza, gunsmoke, wild wild west and big valley ALL weekend long (shivering from the awful memories)…but i think i could get into this….
Kenzo looks great. I think the robe looks great. Hakama pants would have been more accurate but the general look is what counts. Interesting he is barefoot instead of wearing geitas (sp?). Reminds me of Kang from Kung-Fu.
