Description Here is a recent piece I drew of one of my series' CM (Garwara) head of state's throne room. Lord Zando watches as one of his top generals, General Adams, and one of his top ninja agents, Yamada, bicker. Melinda Fox, Tang Fu Lii, and Yakeno look on. To the right CM ninja warriors (in white) are awaiting their next mission.

This throne room was a work in process since I haven't drawn one in nineteen years. There is more I want to add next time. Lord Zando is very fond of fish hence the aquarium. This was a fun piece, not perfect, but something to build upon for next time.

Thanks for looking!

I am so glad to see you're a fan of my beloved Melinda Fox. I just knew I had to put her here....listen to what was being said. She's quiet and watches the others bicker and fight. As always thanks alot!

Of course! The first time I saw her I fell for her and was a fan of her. I've always wanted to do some fan art of her but I'm afraid to mess it up.
I'm glad she never gets into it. I really shows how level headed she is

I'm very happy Melinda Fox has such a loyal fan. She's my muse so that means alot. Yeah, she isn't one of my easier characters to draw but not the most difficult either. If you need help with drawing her please let me know. I know her like the back of my hand.

MFox is surely level-headed, but sometimes trouble finds her.

Haha yeah I try she is just one of those characters that have truly caught my attention and there is so many reasons why. She's a good well thought of created character.
Well thank you to be honest I doublt I'll get a piece of her up and going. The worry of messing her up just ends up removing all hopes in drawing her

I'm sure it does but she is completely capable of handling anything that is thrown her way

Well to be honest hun I doubt I'll ever make an attempt I feel its a big deal so getting the character wrong would be like a slap in the face to you. And I wouldn't want to do that one.
Of course its only because you have created such a wonderful character and you've given so much depth to her. Its truly lovely to see and I'm glad to have been able to be apart of viewing your work

Thanks so much! I wanted a very regal feel to this throne room and the sunburst effects would help to highlight the place of the head of state, Lord Zando. I'm glad you liked MFox's cameo....more of her on the way.

Dude...I've been meaning to comment on this for days.
I just gotta tell you that this is EXCELLENT! I always love really full pieces, entire scenes, stuff like that and this is no exception. I love the cast of characters in the room, especially MFox. They all look awesome and they all have really good posture and gestures.
AWESOME WORK!

Thank you so much for the lind words! This piece took me some time to map out and draw. I was back and forth on it for a while. I hadn't drawn a throne room in many years and wanted it to look fitting for a CM Lord. I plan to do another CM throne room piece in the coming months and maybe a Kogasuma throne room scene. Many orders are given there so it would make sense to draw this place.

Glad to see some love to MFox. I wanted a good mix of characters in this scene. One of my main objectives in recent months is to have more multi-character piece.

Thanks again!
