	been doing a little catchup reading on this group and felt I
had to put something in. =^)

	A friend writing the FAQ for the game Samurai Shodown II
asked me to draw a title for it.  I came up with this.

	The Japanese title for the game is "Shin Samurai Spirits"
the character on the left is, you guessed it, "shin".  More or less
means on the lines of "true" "pure" etc...

	below is an alternate version of the title I did:

	I've also a drawing of Nakoruru, but since I've already posted
it here (sometime back) you can get a copy from fingering my account
(I think it's in there...)  If you want the FAQ then check
rec.games.video.arcade.

	...iza! jinjoh-ni!
