Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos

The Toyotomi clan with their fabulous sideburns and pointy eyes and pouty lips
Well. According to Wikipedia and various other stuff Kiyomasa and Masanori are both Hide’s cousins, so.
Doodling original samurai for my personal material.
I still can’t decide if I want to be strictly historical with the hair and stuff, or if I want to add some funky stuff a bit, so... Kiyomasa and Hidetsugu looks like that for the time being LOL. If I change my mind, I just need to make it into a normal samurai topknot anyway, meh.
Hahuehaehueuahueha this is the easy part. The Oda clan folks all look the same in the portraits and the only difference being the amount of beard someone has or something. Ugh I’m just gonna go draw Inu first, then... Or the ladies. Oh help me, the ladies are worst.
The Kamigawa novel trilogy has been a fuckin blast so far, lemme tell ya...
