Togainu no Chi - Shiki

A great tribute with a very nice composition which seems to be based of opposition of the elements.

Brightness contrasts with darkness.
Some very precise elements of walls like the banners contrasts with the evanescence of the street which reminds some work of the Chinese artist Benjamin.
The cold expression of Shiki freezing us with his eyes contrasts with the kind look of the two dobermans, usually depicted as fierce dogs.
All these elements seems at first sight opposite but they are perfectly combined here as a natural union, like the Yin and Yang. It conveys the drawing a complex and intriguing atmosphere.

It is very well drawn, you depicted Shiki and his personality exactly and wonderfully. The two dogs look particulary realistic. There are just some details questionable. Firstly, the dogs are a little small while they usually reach a human waist. Or maybe it's young dogs? ^^
Secondly, Shiki's right arm holding the katana seems slightly too short and too low placed compared to his shoulder.
To finish, it is not a technical mistake, but Shiki's katana is normally longer than you did, it rather resembles a wakizashi here.

But it is definitively a beautiful and interesting artwork.
