Wow, just yesterday I picked this (http://www.amazon.com/Samurai-Armor-Costume-Mitsuo-Kure/dp/0785822089/ref=sr_1_2/105-2828188-8228429?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181488189&sr=8-2) up at barnes and noble for 17 bucks. Its pretty damn sweet, with people posing in full color garbs on white backgrounds, and they go through all of the different dynasties. REal good for ref. Picks are in focus here so I can really recomend it, not much text.

Thanks Rhine for the link thing!

know how I can make that ridiculously long linnk in to a nice THIS ?

Write what you want it to be first, select it, then hit the link button. The code would be [url="putyoururlhere"]put what you want to call it here[/url-] without that last "-" in the end tag.

this (http://www.lib.u-tokyo.ac.jp/tenjikai/tenjikai95-2/p/162.gif) is one of the photos I used for reference for my Minamoto no Yoshitsune portrait (http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/2846/minamotonoyoshitsunecopmy4.jpg).
alot of people thought my costume design was unfinished, but na-just simple.
