Okay... Now we talk about this costume. This trail name ArChang. Now I am painting the man custume. (I do ArChang woman's next).

Ar Chan live at YunNan province which located south of China. This trail good about hand made sword. They been well know the sword made by ArChang in Chinese history. The sword collector say Hand made ArChang sword "The flexible curl aroud finger. The sharp can cut through the steel like cut the vegetables."

Next month I am going to China. Hope can find one of ArChan sword.

Everytime I see a piece of your work, ChiaNi, I'm blown away.

Your understanding of composition/color/lighting/texture - the whole work - is truly humbling.

Between this and the self portrait thread, I'm in awe.

Requiem - unfortunately I get a lot of red-X's for your images =( Perhaps only a temporary problem?

I am not a big fan of changing outfit. But I think this thread is interesting.
ChiaNi, you look handsome in your ArChang male costume.
It seemed you know much more about the minorities in China than I do.
Here is mine. An old one, an elf archer in her modern dress.

btw, are you going to southern China, then take care. Perhaps you already know, there is a spread of pneumonia in that region.
