I’m starting my second sleeve in 3 weeks time, keeping with the black and grey Japanese theme but looking to go for a samurai/demon theme. I’ve researched online and been pages upon pages of designs and styles, to which I’m caught on Horiyoshi 3 drawings. Just looking for any input really on what and how to tie it all together any input is appreciated.. Here’s a few pics..

…I’m not wanting the exact same but this is the style and posture I’m wanting



Thank you!
