In this video, I’m going to show you how I created this epic battle scene where this cyber samurai has a duel battle against a demon, which I've decided to name 'Akuji and the 16th Shogun'

It's a 10-minute breakdown video, meaning I won't go over every intricate detail but instead show the general workflow, and my thought process behind certain artistic decisions and give you technical tips and tricks along the way so that it helps you out when you create something similar on your own!
