"The Bladed One"

[Andrew Modeen]

I decided to do a drawing that I've inserted into my story, "Shredder: The Decadence" about Oroku Saki's early years (Mirage/Image universe). This gentleman is "The Bladed One," or Ujimitsu Nonomura, the man written as more or less being the "inspiration" for Oroku Saki.

Fresh from being pencilled :

$5 to whoever guesses what kanji symbol that is on his abdomen.

Whooooaaa!! I would not want to cross his path..

Kanji-- I'm not terribly experienced at but I'll pm you about a funny thing I saw on the web about Shredder Oh, but I think I'll guess at it: umm, fear? Pain? Honor? IHATETMNT?

[Andrew Modeen]

heheh, well, you're on the right track. It's "Death."

Google is a great tool, really.
