Okay, done. Yeah, the background is kind of boring, as usual.

Michael, in yet another variation of his outfit, this time more japanese-inspired, as per his dual heritage. Kimono based on a real one. He's facing off to the side because it's not his intention to appear confrontational, but to warn. He stands on his mother's family crest, and the rose behind him signifies his father's side, although it may have to be the other way around....

Sword is a wakizashi, given to Michael's parents by his uncle. I've read up, and a wakizashi is a samurai's last defense weapon, which, unlike his katana, he carries everywhere on him. It's the ultimate weapon that guards his life, so I thought it was appropriate, seeing how Michael is the last of the Minashiro due to his uncles' uh... situation. And yes, unlike Marian, Michael is a fairly competent swordsman. In fact, he always uses the sword because he insists that taking life is hardest with a sword, since you must face your victim. It's not an easy weapon to use and close your eyes.

Music - Gintama Soundtrack... Tommy Heavenly6. Okay, now back to finishing commissions.
