Quite possibly the most generous preview I've ever posted, if I may say so myself. I apologize in advance for the roughness of my raw pencils -- can't be bothered to clean 'em, really. Also, for the lack of a Hongfei. Temporary, I promise.



Ah, happy times... <33333

Of course, this is only as final as pencils get. We'll be going to HK again on May 15th -- I'll need another 20 or so days for us to complete our work on the fifth chapter, and I hope to finish most of it by then. And then, I'll move on to the next installment of Games inks.

More than ever, ever after
Our work is never over.

Now, for some random sharing. Here's a qonderful dance number entitled "Feitian," from the CCTV Chinese New Year Special last February." Feitian -- literally "[the ones who] fly [across the] sky" -- are, if I'm not mistaken, heavenly goddesses from Buddhism / Hinduism / Chinese mythology, that represent music, song and dance, and other beautiful and artistic things.



According to my mom, this north-western Chinese dance was derived from a famous 'painting'... but, it seems the original was actually a carving on the cave walls of Dunhuang. I haven't been able to find an image, but, look what else I stumbled upon: a review / preview of Zeng Hao's breathtaking collection of Feitian masterpieces, by Zhang Qingyuan.
