Usagi Yojimbo Heroes

Description

Here is a picture that I did featuring four of the known hero characters from my favorite comic book series "Usagi Yojimbo". The characters that are seen in this group picture (from top to bottom, left to right): Gennosuke (AKA Gen), Miyamoto Usagi, Tomoe Ame, and Chizu. I was in the mood for drawing this picture after thinking of an idea for an arcade-style video game that is based on "Usagi Yojimbo", which I discussed in one of my journal entries. As you would probably guess, three of the characters to play as in such a game would be Usagi, Tomoe, and Gen because of them being the main characters in the comics. As for the fourth playable character, I've decided that it would be Chizu because of her no longer being part of the Neko Ninja Clan, and she would help Usagi and the others defeat Lord Hikiji. When I was coloring this picture, I decided to use a starry sky background to make it look a little more dynamic. Because of how much detail there was to this picture, I decided not to add shading. Even so, this picture turned out incredibly nice after completing it, and it's sure to please fans of "Usagi Yojimbo" as well.

This is my frist Critique in a while so bear with me.

First of all I love the backgroung. The starry night background work surprisingly well.

You did a great job of putting all four characters (Miyamoto, Gen Tomo ans Chizu) in a small area, and with all action pose too. I can tell from experience that is a true challenge.

Frankly put, this is pretty awesome. All the character look like they are ready to action. I think I said this before in some of your other work, but the colors are bright, clean and well organized.

This pic has realy great impact, and you have amazing cartoony technique.
