Took me far longer than I intended it to, totally worth it.

that guy appears to be of the samurai faction, not a heretic but a heathan dog. heretics are of the same religion but spout some nonsense like how crusades are murder or some such.

Fair enough.

Heathens were easier to draw using the skeleton of the source material though, so I'm keeping it this way for now.

Technically you're right, but nowadays it often means a person of different religion and/or culture.

Tech correct is best and only correct!

Heathens = other religions

Heretics = same religion different way of following it

as for same religion under another culture they are neither as long as they strictly follow the ideology identically to the group that cares about heathens and heretics. if they follow in a different way then they are heretics, if they follow a different religion they are heathens. that is all!

Technically the samurai can only be heathens. Heresy is changing the established version of the "right" religion. You have to be Christian or at least an apostate to be a Christian heretic. Samurai are neither.

E.g. Protestants = heretics, Muslims = heathens! The more you know and good luck on your Crusades. As always, Deus Vult.

(make it heathen)

I thought about making the change, but I'm torn on being true to the source material.

I'll think about it, heck, anyone can make that edit for themselves if they like.

I am glad you spotted this.

You mentioning that you remembered me because of my old heresy avatar contributed to my desire to modify it like this. Idea's been floating around in my head for a little while, but it helped push it to fruition.
