I noticed we ended up using a similar concept again after that old man on the subway piece, and this time you pulled it off way better! Congrats on third place!!🥳

If you look through the entries, you will notice that a handful of entries had a similar pose as well. Guess it is a too iconic sword clashing pose... I got lucky choosing a different style that more people vote for this time round... usually the safer bet to winning is to stick to a conventional style like yours.

Love the distinct color contrast of both sides for this one.
