    Could you add the titles of the threads to your post? It's kindof a pain to open every link just to see what the threads are about.

    And then God said, "Let us make man in our likeness and our image. Let us make him ridiculously hard to draw so that poor artists everywhere will have to spend 10,000+ hours failing repeatedly before they can begin to capture the form and likeness onto a two-dimensional surface." And there was man. And it was good. And artists everywhere lost their minds.

    "the proper way to hold a samurai sword along with gripping"
    A martial artist/fight choreographer buddy once told me, after thumbing through one of my Buscema-drawn Conan comics, that there is no sword tradition which uses a batter's grip, that is, a two-handed grip with both hands touching.
