Description
I did a search on DA for Anita Mui and was chagrined to find NO ONE had submitted ANYthing (that I found) on this recently deceased Asian beauty. Sadly, and to the heartbreak of millions of devoted fans, Anita succumbed to cervical cancer December 30, 2003. Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow are just two of her friends, whose names might be familiar, by her bedside at the time of death. Anita has been called the Madonna of Asia because she is the queen of Cantopop (Anita, that is... not Madonna), but I disagree... you see, Anita actually had talent. She's been called the Greta Garbo of Asia, too. I'd prefer to think of her as the Anita Mui of Asia, myself, but if she /must/ be compared to someone American, then maybe Beverly Garland. Both beautiful women, both talented, and both who always brought to their female characters strength, dignity, courage and femininity.Anita was amazing and you may have seen her in Rumble in the Bronx, Drunken Master 2, Miracles, Fight Back to School 3, Rouge, A Better Tomorrow 3, Shanghai, Shanghai and a slew of other Chinese films. She is/was among my most favorite actresses ever... and she will be missed.
The queen is dead! Long live the queen!
Pencil, paper, blending tortillion. Antiqued, text added and smoothed in PSP 6. Sorries for the dirty look of the picture, my scanner decided to pick up every line I drew and erased on the paper and every smudge my hand might have made. It's not this dirty in real life, I promise!
Little read on Anita:[link]

She also had "gave birth" to new China (mainly Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong) celebrities, stars, and artists mainly Grasshopper, Aaron Kwok, Andy Hui, and much more. She also had a super-duper close friendship with Hong Kong Legendary Stars mainly The Wynners ~ Alan Tam, Kenny Bee, Anthony "The Friendly" Chan Chi To, Bennette Pang, and Danny Yip; Roman Tam, Paula Tsui, as well as one from her closest friend (or even boyfriend too...) ~ Leslie Cheung Kok Wing ~ who died some months earlier than Mui Cheh (Sister Anita Mui) because of commit suicide at Mandarin Oriental Hotel of Hong Kong.

Great artwork. I like all three drawings and my favorite of the three is the upper left. I'm glad I'm not the only American aware of Anita Mui. She was a great actress.

This looks really cool! You did a very nice job on all 3 drawings of her! She was a very talented singer and actress and will be missed. I justed watched Miracles recently which is a great film. I also liked her performances in Drunken Master 2 and My Father is the Hero.

Thank you!!! I think it was in Drunken Master 2 that she stole my heart..., and the movie! What an amazing lady she was! Such a huge talent to lose! She was incredible in everything she did.
Thanks for the comment!

Hey man thats fantastic, nice to see another Anita drawing.
I'm a fan of her music as well

Thanks for the fave!!
To be honest, I have never heard her music, though I know well how loved she was in that field. I've never been a huge fan of J-pop, which I assume (and probably incorrectly) is what Cantopop sounds like. Though I AM dying to hear Karen Mok 'rap'.
Suggest a CD of Anita's to me. I hate love stuff if it's slow. (which is why I don't buy Jackie Cahn's albums... too sappy for me.) What do you think would be a good one for me to get?

Hmmm?, most of her music is lovely dovey stuff, I don't think it'll be ur cup of tea.
But she was very much loved in the HK scene, and will 4ever be remembered

Upper left and bottom have my vote as totally awesome. I would love to see a poster of this. Upper right seems a bit crooked, which I am sure you pointed out, but I don't bother to read descriptions.
I am illeterate.

Yeah, her face is a bit crooked up there. Funny how I don't notice that until I see a smaller thumbnail version of it. I also should have drawn it on bigger paper and at my angled art table. I have no idea how you draw on a flat surface, honey, and make the proportions come out correctly! This boggles me to no end!
Over all, I like the way the tribute came out, but as I notice all the imperfections, it also bugs me after the fact.
Thanks for noticing and pointing out all my flaws. I hope you feel more like a woman now! *sobsob*
...heh.

This is really nice, I love how you slpit the image and it shows three different sides to her.. She sounded like an awesome woman

Thank you! And she was... I strongly recommend checking out her work. I've never listened to her music, but I loooved her acting. She totally stole every scene in Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master 2", and I would suggest viewing it if you ever get the chance. It's a beautiful movie... or "Miracles", another JC movie. She sings and dances in that one, too.

This is great, she is very beautiful. Glad you posted this, I hadn't heard of her before.

My thanks! I was stunned to hear of her death. She was a mere 40 years old, the poor dear. I strongly recommend checking out her work. I've never listened to her music, but I loooved her acting. She totally stole every scene in Jackie Chan's Drunken Master 2, and I would suggest viewing it if you ever get the chance. It's a beautiful movie... or Miracles, another JC movie (also artistically done). She sings and dances in that one, too. She really was a rare, lovely woman, body and soul.

I've never heard of her, but she's very pretty, and you did a good job

Thanks honey! I'll link some reference pics to it soon. Hard to tell if something was done well unless you see the original and I'm noticing heaps of mistakes. I kinda rushed the finished product so I might wanna fix a few things.
Anyway! Looks like my email won't attach something as large as 52 megs. It never went through to you, which I am sure you noticed. I'll figure out a way, tho!!

Well... it looks like a person. XD That's why it's a good job.
I figured that

That might be possible. Or a file transfer over some messenger device. Either way, I will get it to you and/or your parents' email addy.

Well, I didn't know about it until Feb of this year if that helps any. I was quite depressed to find out, too. were you familiar with Anita? I don't mean personally, of course, but seen her before?

I had seen a few of her films that I could from the piddly foreign video sections I've been too. I guess its just sad to know she's passed on, but a positive note would be that because of this, we will always know her as the captivating woman we fell in love with.
