The dragon robe drapes heavy on fourteen year old boy's shoulders. He will find it heavier each year, unfortunately.
Something drawn while listening to soundtracks from the movie Curse of the Golden Flower.
This character was intended to be the same character with the one I have drawn before, though they don't look alike due to my poor skill in drawing.

Thank you. I did reference the Forbidden Palace while drawing this, as the Hui Empire is actually more of a fantasy counterpart of Ming dynasty. And after all, most, if not all, nations that chose Confucianism as their state ideology built their palaces according to the plan suggested by The Rites of Zhou (周禮, Zhouli), and thus had similar basic appearance.
You're welcome! On a side note, I really do think your art's synthesis of anthropomorphic elements and eastern culture is something special, and to my knowledge, not one widely seen in a fandom that I believe is very west-centric, if not mostly American. Anyway, from my woeful knowledge of Asian history that does strike a bell on the matter of Confucianism. I'll certainly look into The Rites of Zhou if I can find an authentic translation in English!
