Courtly Nuriko

This picture is of everyone's favorite cross-dresser from Fushigi Yuugi...... Nuriko.

It was drawn in September of 2001. I inked it then SLOWLY colored it over the next year or so and finally finished it on 1/4/03. It took so long because I had a hard time deciding what colors to use. ~.~ Nuriko's outfit, the flowers, & butterfly's were colored using colored pencils. This pose was inspired by an illustration in Burne Hogarth's book 'Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery.' This is a wonderful book and I suggest it to anyone as an excellent reference source.

The background on the other hand was surprisingly easy to do. It was inspired by a cross stitch pattern I saw in a catalog and painted with various acrylic craft paints I had lying around. It only took me about an hour or so to do. I later 'joined' the foreground and background pictures in Photoshop and enhanced the ground shadow digitally.

I really like the way this one came out... though I could have done a better job on the drawing of his hands.
