Mulan

Thanks! I thought he was a must have on a scene like this =D

Lee

why thank you! =D

Lee

You, my friend, are simply awesome!! No other way to put it. 👍👍😁

This looks incredible:)

This looks absolutely incredible:) I love how mushu is staying on guard just in case someone will show up 😂

it's a shame that the "animal companions" don't fit the idea of the live action movies ... because they were great =D

Lee

Don't worry, I love long comments =D I was a bit unsure with this image at first, but it was one of those that I had to trust my guts that it would work out at the end. The kimono, Mushu and the overall colors wrapped up the image really good. Also, I use a lot of references to draw the materials and textures. In this case in particular, I was fortunate to find a reference in a very similar pose, so I just had to adapt the folds and overall weight distribution of the material to make it work.

Why thank you! I'm glad you liked it! Korra paintings have a special place for me to. The voyeur is probably my favourite voyeur!

Lee

Well two reasons mainly, firstly I try to point out all of the things in an artist's work that i notice so that they see that all of the thought and effort that they've put into their painting has been noticed (not to belittle people who leave short comments of course! I don't mean it to sound that way, it's hard to phrase exactly what I mean 😅). And secondly... because I'm an obsessive rambler who doesn't know when or how to shut up 😹

This hit me in the same good way that the korra painting did. Beautiful scene and tone. Well done sir.

Oh a night time scene! Those are always my favourites and this is no exception, I love the deep blue sky with the pale light emanating from the glowing moon, the stars littered throughout the sky look lovely as well. And ideally like the scenery with the darkened tines of the tree branch, leaves and foliage all behind Mulan herself the background in general also has a gorgeous, painterly aesthetic that I love. The colours are terrific too with that pale moon bright against the dark blue, with Mushu's bold red popping against all of these cool colours. The dark green on Mulan's robe is also a great contrast to the warm grey and her skin tones. And the rendering is all terrific, Mushu has a great deal of detail with his scaly texture and I like the blue rim-lighting on him and even how some parts of his body are tinted blue like they're fading into the background. Mulan herself looks fantastic with her black hair, highlighted blue, looking beautiful with a lovely shine. I also adore the various bright blue rim lights across her clothes, arms and face, making all of those features really pop! Her face looks very beautiful and the clear divide in light and shadow really shows off her features and the plane changes very well, with the blue rim light making her face pop against her dark hair. The robe splitting apart to tease her chest and breasts, while also showing her thighs is wonderfully sensual and those areas of skin are painted so very well! Likewise, the robe is gorgeous with the many rippling folds, the folds on her arms that converge and drag down to her armpits, as well as the folds on her belt are my favourites with the subtly shiny texture of the green also looking terrific. And the lower part of the robe above her thighs is just perfect with the lighting and textures, like I can actually imagine how the material would feel and move. This is something you are able to do so well, really capture how something would feel if it were really there to be touched! Oh and another colour related thing I like is how the converging green lines running down her torso frame the warmer skin tones between them. Absolutely beautiful work on this piece! Your Mulan is wonderful and the whole painting has a beautiful atmosphere! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 And I can't deny, given just how teasing this image, I am looking forward to seeing the version without the robe 😻
