I’m trying out some new brushes. I think I like them better?
As you can probably tell from the thumbnail above, there is blood and violence on this page. We’ve got a few more pages of suffering before things can start looking up.
The full page is below the cut:

Image description:
A five-panel, black-and-white (and red) comic page.
Panel 1: In silhouette, the Satake samurai drives a knife into Ichiro’s back. His arms fly out in front of him, and he drops his sword. A splatter of blood flies out where the knife enters flesh.
Panel 2: From above, Ichiro kneels on the ground, surrounded by the bodies of his family. Two of the clan samurai lie behind him, blood soaking their clothes around their bellies, and his father lies to his left, blood across his chest. Ichiro’s bow and sword lie on the ground beside him. He looks up at the sky/the viewer. Snow has begun to fall, and it swirls in the air.
Panel 3: From Ichiro’s perspective, his father’s face, blank-eyed and staring, lying on the ground. The silhouettes of two pairs of legs belonging to some unidentified samurai cross through the background. The snow has become heavier, and collects on Tarahito’s body.
Panel 4: The same image, rotated 90 degrees; Ichiro has fallen down. The sky is now to the right of the panel, and the snow is thicker. The image has become blurry.
Panel 5: Black, with a faint swirl of snow.
