This piece was done for the TRDL R3 Jam, the subject being Mulan. Not just the Disney version, but any interpretation of the classic Chinese lore. I haven’t seen the cartoon, but I liked the design work I saw of it, so I picked a version of her costuming from movie stills, and went with that. Granted, I armed her in one of her casual non-combat costumes, but whatever. It’s hard to include a cartoony, zany sidekick creature when I work in my usual style, but I gave it a shot.

You can see this illustration herein the TRDL Tribute Gallery.

Process notes:

This was my original sketch rough. But Torsten put up something similar and very cool, so i went back to the drawing board…

Inks:

I was laying around quite a bit with the face. Lots of photoshop edits.
