Artist's Comments

Surprise gift for :iconsnowp:!! :glomp:

Inspired by ancient Chinese naturalist/physician Li Shizhen. Shizhen was young and talented and daring and often tested out medicines on himself, sometimes with near-fatal consequences. His lifelong work The Herbalist's Manual remains the most comprehensive tome of Chinese traditional medicine to this day.

Hope you like it, 雪豆! I figured I could indulge in a little hanfu-goodness for you. Thank you for all the beautiful kiriban gifts! :huggle:

Wow~ The shading really works for the piece. The details in the folds are also amazing.

Ah, I'm glad it turned out ok. I originally thought about leaving it as clean lineart, but figured what the heck, I'll just throw on a multiply layer.

Pffft, you flatterer :huggle: I totally bs'd those folds. I'm still not even remotely aware how clothing works out. :XD:

Ahaha, that's what everyone tells me but it makes no sense when theirs turn out SUPER-LEGIT (like =shorelle's, I REFUSE to believe she bs's her folds ok)!! :XD:
