The Blind Mynx
Matt has FINALLY finished one of my older drawings that I didn’t really want to post, but he insisted on it. So since its up I’ll give some background. This character lives by the code of the Japanese Samurai. (I still need to do some research on that front so it can be authentic) This characters name is Mynx, and the idea of the name comes from the manx cat. Mynx however is blind which is why her mask has no eye holes, and another thing is that her sword only has one sharp side the other side is flat, as you can see in the picture.(For those who want to get technical, yes a samurai sword is very thin so technically there s no flat side, so the other side of the sword is blunt so to speak) She also has an interesting ninja star in her hand which is ironic because ninja are dishonorable samurai and for an honorable one to hold a weapon of a dishonorable one is strange which makes Mynx quite a different samurai.
Matt’s 2 Sents.- I found Johns post interesting, on a more serious note though this post took some time to complete but really only due to the fact we didn’t know what color scheme we wanted for her. Today we have an extended three-hour period in class so I picked it up to finish.
Your attention to detail is awesome. She seems tough, yet feminine. I like the colors, she looks like she means business!

Thank you. She is a serious character as you guessed. She is intended to take her role as a samurai as no joke. (At least thats what I’m going for) It’s Matt’s coloring job that gives the mood though, so I can’t take all the credit…Unfortunately.
