Artist's Comments

I finally found a usable USB cable! Took me long enough, too ^^;

Anyway, this is another fanfart piece of East Asian cinema, the film this time being Ying Xiong, known to English speakers as Hero. This was the movie that introduced me to Zhang Yimou's style of filmmaking, and whatignited my growing interest in Wuxia/HK films. I'd never seen such color and emotion used in such a way before I saw it. :)

I loved the relationship between Broken Sword (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung). Why is it that Tony and Maggie always seem to make the best onscreen couple? *sigh* The little figure standing on the cliff behind them is Moon (Zhang Ziyi), by the way. :)

Pencil, watercolor, color pencil (for the border).

Characters © Zhang Yimou

Very colorful and evocative, but you'll forgive me if I haven't the slightest idea what's going on! :)

One day, everyone will close their eyes at once. Stars will all change places, colors will go grayscale, and some divine hand will steal our wallets. When we open our eyes again, everything will go back to normal but we'll never get our wallets back.

Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse.." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse.."
