Hey guys,
How is everyone doing? I hope all is well.
I wanted to do a full illustration spread of Hanzo and Eiko, drawn from both their points of view.
I really had to do my best illustrating Eiko, mostly because Hanzo sees her as ten times more beautiful when he looks at her. Eiko tends to cover her back irezumi when wearing her kimonos, so it was not included in these illustrations.
Interestingly, a woman showing her neck or back while wearing a kimono is the equivalent of a woman showing her leg to a man in Victorian times. But that is beyond the point.
And no, they still are not together. They were not even alone in this scene. Hanzo is just so obsessed that he only saw her.
Eiko is nearly 19 years old in this illustration, about two years ahead of the comic’s current timeline.
I also have a short scene written for this spread that I may release later on Patreon.
Thanks for reading.
