Description
*Note: Not Vector Art. See media description*Retro styled O-ren Ishi from the Mirimax film Kill Bill.
I think that last fight at the end of the movie best exemplifies her character. The stark and calm exterior contrasted by the impending danger; that's O-ren to a tee. Hopefully, I was able to capture some of that in this.
Medium: Original sketch drawn over in Photoshop with the pen tool, not vectors since the lines and shapes rasterize. It is similar process, but by devart definitions, anything that rasterizes is not vector art. Details added with brush tool.

I really love this piece.
Great work...and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's similar to the style of Samuri Jack.
O'Ren has always been one of my favourite Lucy Characters...shame she dies.

This is great for non-vector art. You would have definitely had me fooled.
What I like most about this drawing is atmosphere you've set up with the color scheme. She's such a delicate and beautiful character in a rather beautiful setting. I really love how the details are kept low overall...works with the delicate-ness of the whole picture.
Awesome work yo!

Cool. In the film she's just wearing socks i think, but that's just nitpicking.

Beautiful! Her kimono is fantastic, she looks so delicate, yet strangely strong with that pose & the sword. I haven't seen Kill Bill yet (heh) but I can certainly appreciate this as art, if not fanart
