The Jade Dragonfly Clashes against the Steel Moon In Groves of Bamboo

Detail shots.

This was absolutely soul-draining, but completely worth it! I really love how this turned out.

This is the finished product of this W.I.P. (I changed the title). This is for the Mystery of the Far East Contest (hosted by =lucretia-stock and =Alegion), because I'm in desperate need of a new tablet, or I'm not going to be able to do con commissions. :<
_{I still have to pay off my laptop or the loan sharks are going to eat me! D:}

I have no real back story for this one, it's just something off the cuff from my heart. Besides I like people to find their own stories, if you think you have a good one, feel free to let me know. :3

On a side note, because this was an Asian inspired contest, I thought I'd take a bit from my own heritage and add a "seal" along with my regular signature. It contains the characters for my Chinese name; Joe-Yee, which roughly translated means: "Child of our Ancestors."
_{Excuse my wretched calligraphy, my writing sucks in every language. xD}

I'd like some advanced critique on this.
