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

I think he did it to us all. XD Damn you, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and your quiet masculinity!

Ah~ So that's how it ends. Nice idea to blend all the colors, hey? Gah~ I love Hero~ And while Broken Sword and Snow were pretty cool, I have to say that Sky was my favorite~ I loved the reactions between Broken Sword and Snow in the first scene with the red colors, but maybe the white robes is more fitting?
