That's a pretty good sketch!

Note on the suicide (seppuku) though: The hand wouldn't be that high up. Seppuku is comitted by stabbing yourself in the bottom of you stomach on one side of the body (I forget if it's right or left), slashing across horizontally, then up. So, I guess the hand could be that high up, if he had the strength to pull that high, though I think ritual only demands that you go about as high as the beginning of you ribcage.

Nice! But there is no honor in suicide. Death is only rewarded on the battle feild then you will go to vallhalla dont know if I spelled that right, but then again this is a chinesse or japanese guy i cant tell. it has nothing to do with vikings so well yeah

this is a really good sketch, i like the shading it really is good. shame we can't see the hand but all the same, it's good!:)
