Even Though I drew a lot of kimonos in my younger days I only seriously studied its structure lately. This is the first one that I feel I have applied what I learned onto the design.
She was born into a prestigious family, but learned Ninjutsu from Takanosuke's father. She is a mix of a swordsman and Ninja. She normally only use the dagger with her ninjutsu and only uses the Nodachi when she is trying to take care of a lot of foes in a short period of time.
Her costume is a mix of Ninja and Furisode. (long sleeves worn primarily by girls who arent married) Because it is a fantasy setting i gave her the short kunoichi torso kimono instead of the long skirt.
F*ck...is that enough to let you know that i like this girl ?

Her pose is rather boring, but I can't help it, i wanted to display the kimono this way.
This will be an 11X17 inch print, on glossy cardstock for Fanime in San Jose, California.

Love this piece of art - it's perfection.
