Quite some time ago, I ran across a blog called SamuraiPanda.com1. I really liked the title but had to admit I was disappointed to not find any images of pandas in samurai armor on the site. So I ended up sketching one, scanning it and promptly forgot about all about it. Then tonight while searching my computer for a different image; I ran across that one and decided to go ahead and post it for your pleasure.
1 No, I do not recall how I ran across it.
I recently received an email about another Samurai Panda drawing on the web. This alternate drawing is far superior to my pencil sketch (being in full color and with a background).
Thanks for the tip Michael!
