Description First image of the new year, finished on it's first day! Happy 2010!

It felt so wonderful to work on something like this again...hopefully this signals a new and more solidified direction for my art in the new year. I hope yours will be a good one!

So yep, here's your first 'real' preview of my revamped webcomic FT: Rebirth, as the last (but completed first lol) image in a 3-part series. I am very excited about this new direction, I hope you will enjoy it too!

I couldn't possibly be more excited for the new FT!

And this piece is amazing. It's so sleek and elegant yet Lyra still looks like she can kick some serious ass even in her pretty kimono.

I love how it has elements of traditional Asian folds in it; looks really cool with the hyper rendering. Also love the colours 8D

Thank you~! that is what I was trying to do...I find that so often people draw what they 'think' kimonos look like without thinking that their clothing fashions changed from period-to-period as well as ours did! haha it's pretty much copied directly from this woodblock: [link]

hope you are doing well!
