After reading Miyamoto Musashi's _Book of Five Rings_ to kill some time, I felt like doodling a samurai of some sort, and then the drawing just refused to die. O.x So, I ended up trying to make something similar to Japanese brush paintings. I didn't try to mimick the style exactly (especially when it came to the lineart <.< ), but I think the palette, coloring style, and pattern work are pretty similar to what you find in them...?

Patterns were taken from photographs by mailtobee and mordoc at sxc.hu.

Really nice Asian style you've got going!! I love it, especially the tiger. I have an affinity for Samurais ^__^ What is the lettering to the side?

I signed the name "ExMachina" in katakana (Ekusumakina xD) and the date in kanji.

Wow Ex! This really turned out very well! It does have a very similar look to the Jap brush paintings, just from the colours, composition and content. I love the pose the guy and tiger are in. There's also something very attractive about the simplicity of the sun and clouds. I see you found some great asian designs to stick on the clothing. Though on the pants the patterns feel a bit strong, but they're not a big deal.

The katakana, really cool. Adds a lot of flavour.

You are a machina. lol.
Well, you did it. Very nice ^^
Yikes, that's insane.

That's fantastic. The colouring it great, and it all goes together really well.
