MY BRAIN IS FREE AND SURVIVED ON ADRENALINE AHHDASHGDAS 1) Rough animation with idw designs is fun. Blurr turned out to be easier than I thought (imagine animating Deadlock *shivers*) 2) Clean up and coloring is NOT.

The Black Materia

man with excellent self restraint dismayed to realize that not wanting anything is more likely a depression symptom than a carefully honed skill that atones for other aspects of his character

A papercraft commission of Riku from Kingdom Hearts (3)! Riku was my favorite in the first game back when I was a kid (did I draw angsty fanart of him in my school notebooks? Of course), and by heck, after watching him change and grow over the years he's still my favorite as an adult. I was so excited to get to make more art of him!

THE FLOURISH AND SHEATHE

Playing the role to the hilt (heh...) so well done that man. It's absolutely the flourish and sheathe that does it. Chiburui and noto, sort of, ish.

*****

Those are a formalised / symbolic part of an iai exercise: chiburui = shaking the blood off; noto = resheathing. Other kinds of chiburui include the more familiar sideways swipe, and thumping the sword-hand wrist with the other fist.

Writer Note: despite the impression given by movies, chiburui won't get a sword-blade completely clean. That would involve a thorough wipe-down as well; IIRC samurai carried sheets of special paper for that purpose.
