Sorry for the repost...again. Stuff happens. Like, EVERY time I submit a picture, I get the "DevArt is currently under construction, try again in 5 minutes." Grrr.
I'm just painting old drawings because my fingers can't seem to draw anything right lately.
You can never have too much red. Besides, I think the main color of Chinese is red. But seriously, the amount of red looks just fine to me.
I like her pose and the pattern on her clothes. And the background is awesome. <3
Someone told me about Cheng last year in history. And I thought she was awesome. They should really make a movie about her.
I'm sure the pictures you're drawing aren't as bad as you think. But sometimes you just need a break.

Beautiful. Although the small view looks quite red, in fullview there are lots of neat complimentary greens which make it work for me. Oh, and nice lighting again too.
Do I smell PotC fan art? hmmm? It probably isn't but I can't help to think of a younger madame Cheng from PotC AWE when I look at this Very beautifully done!
Actually it's not fanart. I drew this to get a job with Peachtree publishing company. The editor there wanted to see my version of Madame Cheng because she's writing a short story about her for an anthology she's putting together. I got the job, yay! I get to start it later this summer. I was surprised they made Madame Cheng so old and ugly in PotC, however, because in real life she was young and beautiful when she first came to power in 1804, very close to when PotC takes place. Her looks are actually what got her command of the fleet anyway. The pirate captain who kidnapped her from wherever she was a slave at wanted her to marry him so much, but she'd only consent if he agreed to give her equal share of everything he had, and he was all "yeah sure whatever you say, just marry me." A few years later he died in a storm and Mrs. Cheng took over his entire fleet and through her organizational skills she managed to be such a pain in the neck to China that even China's Navy couldn't defeat her huge fleet, and the Emperor granted her a peaceable pardon if she'd just leave his navy alone. She retired early and comfortably in style, running a gambling house. It's a really neat piece of history, she was the most successful pirate ever. She even made a list of rules for all 80,000 of her men to follow, which included, "You cannot capture any woman without her consent." Ha, she's so awesome.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

I think more vivid, lucious reds should have been used.
