Well, well, but what I had trouble with here was of course the buildings. (Sweat drop) Though I briefly looked at research materials (Even so, I don't like having them all together so I was arranging and revising the design somewhat (Sweat drop)) it's terrible for my assistants too but since I'm also drawing them it's terrible on me too. (I draw as much scenery as I can) Argh, Chinese buildings!! Why are they so intricate?!! The clothes too. It's really terrible since I arrange them. And the crowds. The soldiers armor were troublesome! (Ah it's suggested I do research on Three Kingdoms era but that was too long ago (Sweat drop) It hasn't changed much but even 1000 years must be different...(Sweat drop)) I think I'll start to arrange the armor properly too. As for the period it's around the Sung dynasty~Ming dynasty. I sometimes put in the T'ang as well so it's messed up. Even my editor told me it doesn't need to adhere to China since it's a fictitious Chinese-like world work. When I was an elementary student long ago, I loved "Seiyuuki" and when I was 18 it was rebroadcast. It had comedy, action, glitter, and very good characters so every Monday night at 8 o'clock I enjoyed it so much. I wanted to do something like that actually.
Incidentally if I can do it, Tamahome would look good in clothes with Chinese buttons so I wanted to have him wear them /(Arrow): This/ but one of these days I may draw it. Kimono style isn't interesting. Also "Raigen Doushi" and "Chinese Ghost Story" are from what period? (Sweat drop) I wanted Tamahome to wear the clothes worn by the neighborhood men in "Raigen Doushi" but of course it's probably too recent, isn't it? Aah, though I'm told not to adhere to it, I am. Ah, also I'm, interested in hair too so I'm drawing it. Buns are boring aren't they?
