    Fightclub Round 23 - VARRICK vs TAKEZO - WIPS

    Attachment: Round 23.jpg
    Round 23 introduces another new contestant, ArtRobots Takezo Samura, who is challenging last round winner, Darkwrath's Varrick

    Current champion, Darkwrath's VARRICK, the Releaser of Souls, a living 1.5 Tonnes, 7.5 feet angel of death and destruction used as a weapon by his Masters. A mysterious sect known only as 'The Brothers of Purification'. The red behemoth is impervious to extremes in temperature and has incredible speed and agility. Win or lose this will be be Varricks last fight in this batch of rounds, will he make it into the Triple Winners Hall of Fame?

    ArtRobots TAKEZO SAMURA comes from back in the late nineteenth century of preindustrial Japan. Born a samurai in a time where such skills were no longer valid to the rising industrialized West, he saw the weakness of the samurai, and quickly adopted the ways of the Shinobi. Takezo believes that if Japan cannot yet beat the Western powers with firepower, they should do it with manpower. Small units doing the work of armies, infiltrating enemy lines, destroying enemy strongholds and causing destruction to enemy supplies and communications. Realizing just the skills of the Shinobi were not enough, he escaped to the West and learned the use of firearms (specifically the revolver and its fast draw techniques), the guerilla tactics of the Apache indians, and the stealth of the Ninja. He attempts to combine those martial arts into a new fighting style for his ideaology of Japan's special forces. He carries a Colt Revolver and at least 30 throwing knives with one mantra, "Fighting fair is for idiots!"

    Both contestants must post one final image in the Finals thread and minimum of two here in the wip thread. The deadline for final images is two weeks from now, Wednesday midnight-ish BST on 7th October. Voting will then be open for two days. For full rules check them out on the Fightclub Blog.

    Go Fight!

    Well, I'll start this thing up. Forgive the cruddy pencils. I just got a softer lead than what I'm used to so I gotta learn to use it better. Oh and I never listed Takezo's height. It is 5'10. A giant in feudal Japan but probably nothing anywhere else.

    Here is the second page. Looking forward to the Varrick's reaction to this. I now realize the type might be a little unreadble if anyone has a problem I'll rework it.

    er..this is quite depressingly poor lol, i've been working on a piece for an art competition at gamesday this sunday too, so i've rushed a bit and some of it is a bit confusing!

    for the bit below with takezo jumping towards varrick, read the text right to left else it doesn't really make any sense. i'm tired and it's a screw up but i'm maintaining that it's an intentional homage to the japanese layout of books Big Smile

    please guys, let me know if it's hard to read, my writing is scrappy at best and i'll re-do it tomorrow if needs be.

    Interesting choice of dialogue for Takezo. I'll make the next page to this tomorrow. I already got an idea.

    Great start Darkwrath. Loved the knives and the anime inspired angles. I think it was anyway. Here is my shot back.
