Never thought I'd say this, but I finally painted with my one fear -- green. As much as I hate and avoid painting with the colour, I think it actually turned out pretty cool I think! It’s a scene from from one of my favourite films, ‘House of Flying Daggers’ because green features so heavily in the film and it’s one of the first things that came to mind. It was going to be either this, or a portrait of Shrek #brbchasingdreams
Monster Hunt 2 / Li Yichun as Black Phoenix (Zhu Jinzhen)
I'm not sure what to say about this outfit besides "Wow!" It's even more spectacular and has an even more elaborate headdress than the black outfit that she wears earlier in the film. The hooded cloak, with its black designs of birds and flowers, also has a filmy black net overlay to lend it some subtle depth and drama.
Her ... henchmaidens? ... have some beautiful and elaborate outfits as well, with impressive headdresses of their own.
A wonderful Pokemon chinese animated short film directed by DaiWei (All Saints Street) and produced by MTJJ / HMCH studio (Legend of Hei) for Chinese New Year.
Monster Hunt 2 / Bai Baihe as Huo Xiaolan and Jing Boran as Song Tianyin
I love how the costumes of the two main characters complement each other. They're strongly color-coded, with her in red and him in blue, but each one is wearing several layers of different patterns and textures.
I considered featuring one or both of these costumes individually during one of the appropriate months, but they work so well as a pair that I'm happy to cover them as a pair!
