Urban Samurai on LaFraise

Rubens — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 17:21:39 +0000

Hello people! I just came back from Japan, simply amazing! You should go there if you never been there yet! Specially if you’re interested in character design, well, that’s the Country. Anything has a character: billboards, signage, packaging, public and private companies, even the police has a little cute character (called Pipu if I’m not wrong) on their stations’ signs!
Well, by the way, just back from Japan I put this new design on LaFraise. I really hope you’ll enjoy it and score it (and maybe share it around). Arigato Gozaimas ^_^
