A commission I did for *
elonweis, a full-body portrait of her lovely character Isawa Komadori!

This was the first time I designed and painted a hanfu, and was asked to add some kimono-patterns to it. The dress was allowed to be fantasy-type so it's not 100% correct hanfu, but should be recognizable as one...
Komadori is a magic-user, her elements are water and air. So I added feeling of breeze to her surroundings and wave-patterns to her dress.
I wanted the waves on her dress to be strong and powerful while the colors are soft and gentle to bring out many sides of her personality.
