Kenshin in Motion

[telophase]

Just finished Rurouni Kenshin volume 23* and had the urge to draw Kenshin. I usually draw him in repose, and I wnated to put more motion and action in. After many many fits and starts, I think I finally got something that's not half bad.

Rough sketch - I wanted to post it before I managed to ruin its rough charm by over-refining it, the way I do. It's destined to hopefully be a marker piece.

XD Thanks! I've never drawn him as Battousai - strangely none of the normal-Kenshi poses I tried worked out; it didn't fall into place until he had one scar and the hand guard thingyboppers on.
