Shi / Jetta release on July 2!

[Martheus]

I have been so busy trying to get art finished and attending cons that this has snuck up on me completely.

SHI / JETTA ARROW OF DESTINY HITS JULY 2!!!
If you did not get your copy through pre-orders, mark your calendars and go to www.toshigawa.com to grab your copy of Jetta/Shi: Arrow of Destiny on July 2. FULL COLOR, Martial Arts Excitement! A must have for Jetta and Shi fans alike.
 
Here is a recap of the story:
It was Japan in 1582. Oda Nobunaga was a cruel and bloodthirsty warlord. In his efforts to unify Japan, he slaughtered thousands of innocent men, women, and children, even killing the Sohei warrior monks of the Hiei Monastery and killing the head of the Toshigawa clan. Oda Nobunaga was killed by a poisoned arrow, shot by Tokoshi Toshigawa. This sacred arrow has been protected through the ages as it holds the key to unlock great
evil.
Fast forward to present day Japan. After years of undisturbed peace, an unknown evil threatens Honno-Ji again. Tenkai, a mysterious monk, must call on the help of a descendant of the Sohei (Shi) & the descendant of the Toshigawa (Jetta) to honor an age-old promise to protect the Arrow of Nobunaga.

Excellent one of the team ups i've been looking forward to. now if the battle of the Independants starts coming out i'll be fully satisfied.

Happy to know that you have been looking forward to the crossover.
I have been very pleased with how it has turned out and I hope that the Shi fans will be as pleased as I am. It will be released on our site at www.toshigawa.com. So be sure to pick one up. Looking forward to seeing what you think.

We also had an art contest going on while the book was in production.
Everyone who entered the contest had to illustrate their version of Jetta and Shi. We will announce the winner on my site on July 2. For now, check out some of the cool artwork that was created by some great artists!

Based on what you showed us, I think that I'd have to agree with your choices.

[Delvie]

They were judged by a panel of artists over @ Toshigawa.

great competition i had there!  lotsa fun doing it, although I ran out of time to add a background.... grumble...

[kikuchiyo]

There was a lot of gret artwork entered. I procrastinated too long to get an entry in on time. Sattch, your piece was great! I don't know how or where my piece would have finished in the running.  I do regret not entering though.

[sattch]

Kiki - yeah, I was hoping you'd be in on it to represent the crusade boards over there!  next contest perhaps.....

[cristos]

Hey sattch, congratulations on your third place finish! Did you get anything cool for coming in third? Also, I like your piece better then the artwork that came in #2.
