Artist's Comments

ha i am back! again! with what i call a truly nerve-wracking piece.... the details on that multi-layered kimono-like thingy are entirely hand-drawn and 0.4-pen coloured. now that the tedious part is over i finally get to colour it!!! XD :w00t: digital colouring is so much better XD
that huge chinese character (i believe the japanese kanji has an equivalent word having the same meaning, so it goes too...) is pronounced as :'du', meaning 'poison' (hence the title). and before everybody slams me for being politically incorrect in the depiction of the character it is not a Geisha i am drawing..... she is an oiran. (for more information on the differences between a Geisha and an Oiran, see [link] it might help.

and by the way, i wrote all the calligraphy stuff. haha i haven't lost touch with chinese words, i am glad. :D but they look quite like hell to me.......

I'm always amazed at the level of detail you can put into your work.. I'm so terribly lazy. I just rush everything. x_o; But yes, as usual, I absolutely love this! Amazing work with the callugraphy + inking and the coloring is beautiful. :D I could rant more but I'm sure you'd fall asleep.
