This is the first image that I have ever used photoshop for. I don't know that I am totally finished with it. I'm thinking of perhaps a lighting layer but... I wanted to post it as it stands just now. It will be the cover of a book. Not my first cover... It ties in with my story, The Wolf and the Darkness.

Now... who to thank. Well I promised a thanks for the damned grass. Thanks
=xadacka for the clue on the grass. My only complaint is that it looks like plastic...but with the lighting I should be able to make it look like the real stuff. next would be
~ScreamingSamurai1
Mikus for inspiring the idea. Honestly I had wanted him to color it, but if wishes were fishes. I couldn't have it suck though so... I tried to complete it on my own in the style he surely would've managed. Hmmm, then thanks to
~ColorDojo for being another set of eyes. Sean, my husband helped with that too. So... I hope you all like it. If you do I'm probably post the final version. Sorry it's so big... I just wanted you to be able to see the detail on the samurai.
