Sun's clothing

Comments disabled because I’ve moved! My new account is . See you there! ~



I just reloaded my art files, and found a few I hadn't uploaded yet. So here's the first of a few to tide you over 'til I get my Photoshop back. For now, it's tiny and has a suckish DA watermark. I'll fix that later, plus I'll update with a coloured version (eventually).

So here's my Kung Fu Panda OC, Lady Li Sǔn, in her armor and her casual clothes/civvies. For those who are interested, a little info on their design and function:
Armor
Sǔn's breastplate is made of semi-flexible bamboo. She wears it because some of her pressure-point attacks leave her open and vulnerable, especially those made while her wings are outstretched.
Civvies
The cheongsam and trousers Sǔn wears before her Kung Fu training begins are made of thin, lightweight homespun material. The belt is simply rope. Later, when she becomes guardian of Shān Zhài village, a small but beautiful village at the foot of a mountain just outside the range of the Furious Five's protection, a local tailor presents her with a new cheongsam and trousers made of fine silk, along with a belt of braided silk.
Other
Sǔn also wears two anklets made of silver with little silver bells hanging from them. They were a gift from her master, Crane of the Furious Five, who knew how much Sǔn loves the sound of bells (they remind her of the stream in the village where she was born, and therefore of her parents). She never takes them off. They make a graceful tinkling sound whenever she moves, but as a crane she has the natural skill of walking slowly and carefully enough to keep them from jingling if necessary. (If you've ever seen a crane or heron stalking prey, you'll know what I mean. If not, I dug up a video of a Great Egret for you: [link] )
