Fanart, Fanfiction and Fangirling

Work is killing me and I don't know when I'll have the time and mental energy to clean this up, so have the usual pencil sketch for now. I want to experiment with dynamic poses, as my drawings are always very stiff, and Goemon is the perfect subject for that. I'm especially pleased with how his hands turned out, which is something I always struggle with. (Yes, I used my own hands as reference, that's not cheating, right?)
