Artist's commentary
Fan art based on the Wii game "Muramasa: The Demon Blade".
I've wanted to draw something related to this game for a while now, I think I started this back in November! Muramasa is definitely on my list of favourite games of all time. The 2D artwork and animation featured in the game is astoundingly lush. Along with the upbeat and haunting soundtrack the game feels really atmospheric, I love that!
Supposedly the main premise of the game is to collect the many legendary blades; but in reality, it's to scoff as much food as inhumanly possible! You repeatedly visit eateries and blow all your money on food. When traveling you're encouraged to cook your own food, and even in the midst of battle eating restores heath. The amount of food that gets eaten during the game is vast!
To make matters worse; Momohime's body is possessed by the spirit of Jinkuro, so she doesn't even get any say in the binge eating! That thin porcelain figure isn't going to stay around long after downing the 20th consecutive bowl of fried tempura!
