Description
For the MGC: Chinese Gargoyles topic, I decided to dress up Kwan Lin, one of the Chinese delegates to the Wyvern Junior Leadership Conference in "When Graeme Met Lucy." As you can see, she cleans up pretty nice when she's not taking care of garg beasts. I improvised on the outfit but it's heavily imfluenced by Saiunkoku Monogatari, a really great and under-appreciated anime set in a mythical China.REFERENCES:

She is truly beautiful in that pose, and that background. Wish I could draw like that.

Now i'm pretty convinced that the female gargs from clan Xanadu are more beautiful than the females from clan Ishimura. If couldn't stop drooling at the TV when i watched the Chinese girls performing on the rhythmic gymnastics game, i'd bleed to death if i had watched female Chinese gargs performing
Kwan Lin is a girl that everything goes to conquer her heart. Her beauty is worthy of admiring for a good extent of time!! And i'm very impressed about the amount of detail you put into the drawing!! And needless to say the colors are quite nicely done
Wonderful work and good luck

Heh.... The detail comes from being trapped in a waiting room for nearly two hours. I found a nail in my tire Monday and had to go have it repaired.

How intriguing, if memory serves me well this is not the first time you drew a quality picture because your car let you down.

Hey! I thought you were going offline!!

I was.
My internet life is in a "God only knows" status. They put me in a hotel for the last two nights, so I have access to the net. I'll be out of here by tomorrow, so who knows when I'll have it next.
When I do have it, I'll be around.
Once again, great work Spike.

Beautiful image altogether, from the choice of pose and adaptation of the existing model, to the color choice and detail. Wonderful job, really. And it definitely brings the character to life. =^__^=

Ooooo! She looks great, she's from Xanadu right? Or is she Pukhan clan like Chiang Yun? I'll be sure to check out that anime you mentioned too, (:

Pukhan is the Korean Clan, according to Greg. Xanadu is the Chinese Clan.

Oh! my bad (i thought there were two separate Chinese clans, lol)

Ooh! She's really pretty.
I don't know if it's the paper, a drawing medium or some sort of technique, but I really like these types of drawings, they sorta look like photos. I remember you doing on like this with Kirin and... that elder from the Celadoneon Clan whose name I forget.
