Chapter 6: The Way of the Samurai 4

The new shading style is introduced. Now, I'm not sure if I would continue to use this in future stories, but I wanted to do something special with the last chapter, and adding gray scale seemed like a good starting point. It was fitting. The story was coming to an end, and I had no intentions of doing any additional stories in this world or with these characters (until I realized that there are plot holes at the end, and I hate plot holes).

And that's where the ideas for the prequels and a sequel came from, which have since been expanded to include multiple prequels and sequels. Some of the prequels and sequels will have different artists, so the styles won't necessarily match up (like The Legend of Abraham, which will come out after this chapter has finished, which features artwork from my friend Olivia - teasers will start popping up soon for it).

What do you think of the shading?
