Artist's Comments

[n the North there's a lady, stunning and singular.
One look confounds a city; a touch dooms an empire.
Rather not wishing to know, the ruination that may follow,
rare beauty is here and now.]
- Mei's song, translated.

More "House of Flying Daggers" fanart. This is my tribute to Jin and Mei, the first couple from any Wuxia film that I've really loved seeing. Too bad things didn't turn out that great for them. *shuts mouth before she can spoil anything more* This is based on one of my favorite scenes in the film, where Jin picks a big honkin' bouquet of autumn reeds and flowers for Mei. Gah, gotta love chivalry. ;)

I don't like how their faces turned out. Jin looks a tad sleazy and Mei's nose looks odd because of the shading. Oh, well, at least their costumes turned out fine. I did it from memory. ^^;

Won't spoil it either, but DAMN those green outfits (hats too!) looked so cool in the bamboo.
And you got that scene down good - what a way to get/make a bouquet of flowers.

I'm not a lazy artist... I'm a student, and I can't afford my own muse, that's all.
