I like them, the eyes are a lot more defining, and the new hair design is very cool.

Hey, it didn't take you forever to draw bodies! :lol:

I think it looks good enough for me. Are you planning to make it look inked? Coz you can darken the lines...Body proportions look reasonable to me, nice shoulders too...hehe.

BTW, Happy Birthday Ruroken! I can't believe you guys are that young! :shady: I'm trying to remember how my drawing style was at your age....

I use Photoshop to darken and clean up my pencil scans. At the moment, I rely mostly on my faithful mechanical pencils where the strokes are easier to control at the moment, unless someone wants to give me a recommendation of a good pen and paper. ^^

I can't recall how Kenshin 's Volume 1 shading looks like. Do you have any examples? My earlier books are back home in Malaysia. His style changes a lot from Book 1 to Book 20 onwards.

if you notice their eyes and hair kinda cooridinate together. the reason why they're blue is the resuslt of a science experimite from about 600 yeears ago. IT altered they're DNA completely.

So in 2004 communist government took over America, and the Christains were forced out of their homes, murdered or sold off as slaves ect.
So for a bit of a sci-fi twist, about 6 months later this crazy german scientist who basicly worships Himmler, comes to America. He gets permission for experimenting on humans. He uses the imprisoned Christains as guinea pigs. He comes up with a syrum that is injected into more than 15,000 people-all the prisoners in San Fransisco. The german creats these alien blue skinned humanoids. Because of their advanced physical abillities, and decreased mental abilities he sold them off to the wealthy all over America. But the humanoids minds didn't stay dumb for long. They fought against their owners and escaped.

Awesome pic, the clothing design I must say is really unique, gives me a pseudo traditional Japanese impression. Great work, and great background on your story.
