Comment:
Taking a break for inking commissions to get this idea out of my head.
Ever since I did the Okami style bull and the Okami sticker, I wanted to try the sumi-e style again. The perfect person for that just happened to be Yun Hee. <D

In one of the performances she's in with her fiance, Iya they do a dance together as a pair of red crowned cranes. Its elegant and beautiful and some of the moves are meant to mimc the actual dance the cranes do. Of course later in the act she dances with silk fans~ *love* This is supposed to be a simple little piece of her in that act, and the background was of course inspired by sumi-e paintings. I think it turned out pretty well for something that was just supposed to be quick.

I really need to draw Iya to accompany this one~
