Onna-bugeisha (Hijiri) by Strannytsa

oh fuck

sorry my brothers, things happened and i kind of forgot to upload, but here’s the first one!

This is a drawing of my good friend, ShadowZtar (pronounced shadow zee tuh) from england, he’s dressed up like a lone samurai from a story my and a friend made up about him, I thought this shading would look epic for him

I have no parents; I make the heaven and earth my mother and father.  I have no home; I make awareness my dwelling.  I have no life and death; I make the tides of breathing my life and death.  I have no divine power; I make honesty my divine power.  I have no means; I make understanding my means.  I have no magic secrets; I make character my magic secret.  I have no body; I make endurance my body.  I have no eyes; I make the flash of lightning my eyes.  I have no ears; I make sensibility my ears.  I have no limbs; I make promptness my limbs.  I have no strategy; I make “unshadowed by thought” my strategy  I have no designs; I make “seizing opportunity by the forelock” my design.  I have no miracles; I make right action my miracle.  I have no principles; I make adaptability to all circumstances my principles.  I have no tactics; I make emptiness and fullness my tactics.  I have no talents; I make ready wit my talent.  I have no friends; I make my mind my friend.  I have no enemy; I make carelessness my enemy.  I have no armor; I make benevolence and righteousness my armor.  I have no castle; I make immovable mind my castle.  I have no sword; I make absence of self my sword.
