Cho Han

Place your bets!

I really hope Sakura appears in another story soon. She left such an impression on me in her only two issues so far, and I REALLY want to know what Gen's last words of that story met...

No big story behind this one. I just got bored one day waiting for my boss to arrive at work since I didn't have an office key, so I figured I'd try drawing Sakura actually doing her main trade. 
For those that don't know, Sakura is a dice handler at gambling dens in Usagi Yojimbo, particularly for the game Cho Han... which literally is just "Odds or Evens" ("Cho" being "Even" and "Han" being "Odd"), a popular gambling game in Japan. I haven't really personally done any research on the significance of the decorative tattoos the dealers often seem to have (and, for that matter, japanese tattoos in general), but it's as fun and frustrating to draw as it looks. Apparently, though, a sleeve tattoo like hers is called a Shichibu, though. Feel free to correct me.

Really happy with how this one turned out.
