A complicated request, but I know you folks are up to it...

And I am most assuredly not.  I'm a member of a club where my handle is
Samurai Dragon (for various reasons), and I'd like a .sig to match -
something along the lines of a dragon standing ready with a katana
(samurai sword, of course :-) 

If you could keep it down to <10 lines, that'd be great.  And full
credit will go to the designer, of course.  As well as my undying
gratitude.

Naturally, there's no rush for what I imagine could be a fairly complex
piccie.

Huge thanks in anticipation,

Samurai Dragon

I don't know WHAT you mean! That is *entirely* different from how I
would look if I were going to a fancy party. Here is a drawing of the me
going to the last fancy dress party I went to:

cocktail?
