Sable

This character came to me in a dream... really. It was a dream in which I had two samurai companions, one of which was Sable here, and there were also two rival samurai. The four of them were going to hold two duels, simply a match of skill, one on one. Sable's match, against a sly-looking dark-haired man, was the first of the two to take place. They were pretty evenly matched, but then the dark-haired man's smile twisted, and he pushed his sword through Sable's chest. Needless to say, both I and the remaining good samurai were rather upset, while the two evil ones simply grinned. The other who was with me was about to take his revenge when I woke up...
Anyway, I felt compelled to draw Sable... a tribute to a dreamed life cut short, and the only one in the dream who had a name. Maybe I'll be able to use him as a character in something, who knows. And I'm well aware his pose is a little strange, but hey... I could have captured him as he was changing his grip on the sword. Yeah, that's it...
