Muramasa redesign

Or vice-versa.

Nope, still getting things sorted out with graphics programs. Until then, here's one more thing I got drawn before my Flash failed out - a redesign of Ninmenjushin's version of Muramasa!

Few know where Senga Muramasa came from. Records state that he was a pupil of Gorou Nyuudou Masamune, although his works were made at least a century after Masamune's time. Well, whatever happened, Muramasa had at one point developed a special new shell for himself - a shell powered by a mysterious substance called Dark Stardust. This form was reportedly seen about 400 years prior, so time travel must have been an element. The few historians in the know theorize that time travel was also how Muramasa had met with Masamune long before his supposed time...but who knows?

Regardless, the form seen around 1155 commanded the Akumashi invaders and nearly destroyed Japan on multiple levels. These Akumashi were also empowered with Dark Stardust. They may have been defeated...but Muramasa had jumped to a new body that he developed ahead of time. In fact, over the many centuries in hiding, he's allowed himself to die and jump his spirit to a newly-made body many times. During this time, he was working on something. Something big. Bigger than anything else he's ever made...

His body is almost metallic in nature, but is as flexible as human flesh. His limbs can heat up and change form, mostly into various types of weapons throughout the ages. As such, he's become an expert in using just about every kind of weapon imaginable. Between that level of experience, his sheer invulnerability, and other mystical powers, he's truly a threat when he wants to get involved in something personally.

Reportedly, he's been making weapon deals around the Pacific in the modern age, supporting anyone with deep enough pockets. He's still working on that big project as well. What could it be...?
