Description Hi. I am back four months later after vigorous gaming and studying. This is dedicated to April 30th, as always. I haven't drawn her in quite and while and I kind of idk'd with the coloring.

Anyway, for those who are not familiar with April 30th, it is the day when Saigon fell. Following after April 30th, there were three wave of runaway immigrants where the 'boat people' had to flee for their lives from the imposing Communist government. The 30th is a unification day and a happier day in Vietnam. Of course, the viewpoints vary.

The numerical amount of those who lost their lives at sea is still unknown. Black April is a bittersweet event where the older generation of the Vietnamese people mourn over their loss as the younger generation become grateful of their ancestors and their new life.

Cheesy yeah? Anyway that Vietnamese proverbs means "Gratitude is a sign of noble soules" AKA remember where you came from and who brought you here.

Lovely artwork and take on Vietnamese history... the smooth black of her รกo dร i is very elegant and helps illuminate her lovely skin tone and white trousers... the overall art has a very smooth, flowing feel.

It's not cheesy. Black April is a very serious matter, so much potential, so much loss. Let's hope that tragic history won't repeat itself. Thanks for both the art and the proverb, it means a lot!

No problem at all, You're welcome. I really learned a lot from your art and its concept (Really lovely take on Viet-chan btw ). Thanks once again for the art and its backstory.

It's absolutely gorgeous. Very moving once I read the description, but it was mystical and touching somehow before it. Great movement and ethereal effect, and her hair is amazing.
