(commenting late-again!) Wow...I think I may have ruined the series by seeing this, since I've only finished up to
book 5, but it's worth it. I find it hard to believe that this was your first drawing...so cool! I, too, like the
little Kenshin and scenery in the middle, as well as the eyes...it's so dramatic. You really managed to capture
the emotion of the picture. The shading is awesome, as I've seen in your other works, but what I like the most is
the red effects of the blood, while the rest of the pictue has no color. Love it, as usual.
