Next picture, still in line with Boccioni's work. This one takes the anatomical morphiing idea more directly, and blends the action lines with the background and light sources.

The Swordsman.

... now I need to figure out a way to scan these things at a sufficient resolution to make some prints ...

My choice of water-melon splitting would have to be some kind of heavy hammer, but I'm sure you could borrow a blade from Psynian or any number of Meroveus' dueling companions !

Those poor innocent fruit!

I can split a watermelon with my mind.

My additional 2p (I'm sure you love my uninformed comments, so I keep making them) is that the sensation of motion would be increased somewhat by a curving of the motion blur that follows the sword - after all the sword will have travelled in an arc, not a straight line. Additionally the stance looks slightly stiled, albeit theatrically dramatic.

I drew a picture once. Seph laughed at it. I was of a dog.
