@Tuftears I had really not thought too hard about it and just saw it as a way of pointing towards the central figure as well as filling space with something interesting. Whoops. Maybe if I ink this, I'll move them left?
@Leucrotta Yeah, that could work, or bring the center character's left foot forward in front of the hill instead of in back, to help put it in perspective that the sword is in front of them. Just too many things crossing at that point!
@Leucrotta Please don't hate mew but the two swords stuck in the ground in front are giving me 'that samurai archer is on stilts' vibes. 😹
