This is a contest entry for 's first Karoten contest.
I'm very happy to say I won first place.

*insert nondescript animal squeals*

I initially don't have any ideas. I'm sorry to say that I'm not -that- nationalist...looking at it from a different angle, then;
what if someone comes to me and asks about that theme? How should I answer it with respect?
That does the job. And the result is the above title.

The ideas won't be like this if not for , and for that countless thanks should be given to her >_<
What more can I say...?

This is my first time drawing batik. holy mother of shrimp balls, they are HARD.
And this picture was actually drawn during February; procrastination = uploaded in April. Yay.

In all honesty, it's stressful. But I'm glad I did this. I'm glad the result matched what I had in mind.

Beautiful work! The concept is very well done and all the different patterns and complex details makes it a very interesting image to linger upon.

Congrats for your first place !
This picture is so great, I love it ! I love the design, the colours, and most of all, the details
The hair and the clothes are awesome, there's an art nouveau feel, mixed with your own style, and it works damn well

Don't worry for the delay, as you see, I'm not very active on DA either and am always very late to answer and comment people's pieces. But I always do sooner or later I'm glad you started to post new artworks !
(And I'm fine and Japan's still great, even if we're expecting a Typhoon tomorrow )
