Description
Photoshop. Initial sketch is in scraps.Edit:
Thanks for the comments!
Here is why these two are asian.
I was far more inspired by Caravaggios take on the story than the story itself. Throughout the ages so many amazing pieces have been done on the subject, I thought I should chime in with my own. I am not religious in the slightest, so I used a twist on the subject matter to play with the original concept, while referencing some great paintings throughout history.

I think most artists were NOT really religious, they just painted for the church as a source of work. I love Caravaggio, a master of light and dark, and this is a great way to update the idea, simultaneously horrible and beautiful, capturing the effect of "night-time" lighting, and all the more charming because of the cute cheeky grin of the smoking young lady, smoking after a "nice session?" Great work.

You should rename them in Asian as well. (They certainly look like Chinese. Could be Malay, but I dunno...)

Oh, I remember this [story] from Art History. I like this interpretation nearly as much as Artemisia Gentileschi's.
