Samurai

Game character project: Samurai "The samurai, members of a powerful military caste in feudal Japan, began as provincial warriors before rising to power in the 12th century with the beginning of the country’s first military dictatorship, known as the shogunate." After the abolition of the Feudal system in 1868, the "traditional samurai code of honour, discipline and morality known as bushido, or the way of the warrior, was revived and made the basic code of conduct for much of Japanese society." (SAMURAI AND BUSHIDO, www.history.com/topics/samurai-and-bushido) I will be putting up a full run down of the process of creating this piece on www.artstation.com/artist/roballenart
