Description An older piece, but thought it was worth adding to the gallery...
---
He's Bengosha- Japanese cyborg warrior from the future where monsters, demons and dragons have become a real big problem in Tokyo after a parrallel dimention portal opened up in Shinjuku 100 years ago! His Father was a world famous Samurai master of Yosake Dojo and the secret owner of the legendary Murasame sworld. After his father died in battle while he was still a boy, Bengosha, inherited the Murasame and now acts as an elite defender of Tokyo ^_^
---
This was a character design for a Dragon Slayer contest at 3d Total forums. I thought I'd be a little different and go with some more cyber punk stuff since most entries weren't anime style based for once! Plus the people entering were REALLY good, so I had no chance (Curse you Cyberhues! ) Anyone familiar with the Guyver, Alita (Gunnm) and Metal Gear Soild will be able to see influences, but what's cooler than a fusion of the coolest characters in games and anime?
---
This character was also used as a character example in book, "The Art of Drawing Manga", which can be bought at your local book store or though my website ^_^

Wallpaper versions of this piece can also been found on my website, Organic Metal.

I would love to see this cane weapon on his back on its own, or see him wielding that instead of one of his katana, that would be awesome!

Ha ha ha! Now where have I seen this master piece before? Oh yeah that's right, my first how to draw anime book. It was my favorite other than the triplets at the end of the book as well.

Wow, your on deviantart? Cool! Just to let you know, i was desperate on how to draw manga ever since i was a kid. I was looking for a way on how to draw cartoons like Sonic the Hedgehog or whatever, but thanks to your book, ''The Art of Drawing Manga'', i've finally found the art i have been looking for, for all my life! And now, I know HOW to draw actual manga! I TOTALLY owe you one! Thankz, dude!

carter-thefuture15 [2008-12-10 22:42:34 +0000 UTC]

I like the idea but one piece's style is too garbage, it doesn't even deserve to be classified as manga or anime more like a much lesser version Sinbad, the animated one, drawing style not the whole cyber samurai thing.

Hey, did you know David Hayter, the voice of Solid Snake played the lead role in the Americanized live-action Guyver movie "Guyver 2: Dark Hero"?

At one time years ago,shortly before Metal Gear Solid came out,
Pizza Hut was giving away free PS1 demo discs.
One of them had the demo of MGS. If you played it, you'd notice that in the opening voice credits, they replace the name of David Hayter with the name Sean Barker.
For the longest amount of time, I didn't get it. Then, just last night, I saw some of Guyver 2 on Youtube.com. In the opening, it specifically said "starring David Hayter". And then, part of the way through, the Guyver's human identity was clearly referred unto by the name:
Sean Barker.

Coincidence? I dont think so.
It's one of those name jokes, like they ended up using in MGS2,(i.e. pliskin, jack/rose, etc.)

Well, all that being said, that's a nice picture. very much kickass.
