Description

BillyYong

Did this for my 'O' level exams. 
"Haven't you had enough, Saigou?" 
These were his final words before his death, which was due to mental exhaustion. Saigou refers to Saigo Takamori, who continued to fight in the Seinan war. The words he spoke showed that even on his deathbed, Katsura was still concerned about the country's future. 
For those who don't know, Katsura was one of the leaders of the Ishin-shishi, the people who overthrew the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1868-67. (His photo also appears in Rurouni Kenshin: Seisou-hen, behind the general who was conversing with Kenshin.) 
I like this drawing. I really do. It outclasses most of my other earlier RK pics.

Oh! By the way, what did you color this with? It's very nice.

Very nice. You're alot better than I am! He sorta reminds me of Samuri Jack, his hair is all...yeah. But Rurouni Kenshin is SOOOOOO much better. Awesome job!
