This started as my desire to draw a kimono and then got way out of hand. I ended up trying out a new shading style... I'm not sure how I feel about it. I like that everything came out so shiny, but at the same time I'm a tad worried it looks over-blended.
Speed-drawn in roughly 5-6 hours.
{Edit}: After a comment made on DA, I decided it'd be best for me to add this here.
I was told at a convention(by someone who at least claimed to be an expert, and was selling Kimonos, and was very thorough and correct in showing people how to wear them) that men can in fact wear kimonos, though there's a difference between male and female kimonos that has to do with the sleeves and the way you fold it when you wear it.
There's nothing that says flower patterns are for women only, and there's plenty of cultural artistic depictions of men wearing flower patterns, particularly royalty.
On top of that, the character depicted is my fursona, and while he uses male pronouns, and is treated as a male most often, he is in fact genderless, and 'femboy' is the most appropriate label I could give him.
Additionally, I'm aware that the folds of the kimono are technically the 'wrong' direction- it's currently folded the 'dead' way. I realised this after I'd already finished the piece and merged all the layers, and even added my signature, so there really wasn't much that could be done. ;-;
