There are some guys in TB that stand out from others, by their skill in game or by their actions on forum and in the community. They were with us when we started playing Toribash, they were our role models, mentors, friends or enemies. They grown with time and left their mark, either good or bad.
Nevertheless, they gained some respect, reputation and fame, and that won't change as long we remember them, even when they leave this community or just change their account.

One of them is DarkSamurai (account lost) aka Irmantasx (account lost) aka ...... it's a secret now :}. Person who would enter wushu room and dominate other players either with his strange and complicated openers, or with his improvisation skills. He didn't spoke much and when he did it was like in the old samurai movies, to taunt and laugh at us. :]
I can't say I'm his friend, cause persons like that like to walk through life alone. But, I was present during his 'reign', and learn to respect him. Games with him were fun, exciting and most of all: fair-play!

I met him again in game, after some long period of in-activeness, and we had a talk about past of TB. Some old memories came... And I decided to do painting of him, using his old set as some starting point and lots of imagination. So there it is, DarkSamurai, the sketch before the actual piece.



Since I want to do this right, I would appreciate if you point out any kind of mistakes (I already found one when I finished sketch :{}, the right hand hasn't any true feeling of grip on the sword, but it can be corrected in this phase), and some things that you think should be changed or re-done, or removed.

The picture will represent him kneeling after the fight, bloody and bruised, paying respect to the enemy he just slain. So its a WIP, some more work will be done on the sketch itself, then the actual painting. Thank you.
