Description -----------------------------About the Contest----------------
This is Mikoto Uchiha. For the contest here: [link] hold by


------------------------------About HongNiang------------------
I drew her as Hong Niang here, who is a very famous Chinese fairy. She controls people's relationship with her red thread, when she ties the ends of the red thread to the ankles of two people, they will fall in love. So she is like the Chinese Cupid. ^_^
Oh, btw, HongNiang was just a character in a famous opera named XiXiangJi(The Romance of the Western Chamber) at first, not a goddess. People make her one because she did such a great job of fixing up a couple, and she was such a cute and funny girl that people love her much better than the heroine of that opera, and people call every female go-betweens HongNiang after that opera. Finally, she becomes a symbol and a Goddess for Chinese.

-----------------------------About DeZhen----------------------
To draw this piece well, I've checked a lot of artworks of Dezhen, she is a famous Chinese illustrator, the clothes she draw are soooo gorgeous that you can hardly move your eyes away from them, and the faces she draw are always so sweet and pure, it's really hard to imagine how she drew them!


----------------------------About TegakiE-----------------------
OH, btw, this piece is also done in TegakiE, unfortunately, TE won't save it so I have to take a screenshot and save it myself. 0TZ It happens all the time but I can't help drawing things there because with TE, nobody can use those fancy tools and filters like we can do in photoshop, so we have to pick colors correctly and try to draw every effect with very simple tools. It's a very good practice for me.


-------------------------Thank you!------------------------------
Anyway, hope you love my drawing! Thank you!!

Can I ask how you make that chinese calligraphy. I've been trying to find out how to set the brushes in photoshop but no luck.

Great job on the painting by the way. Idk if I can beat that X[ lol xD

Thank you very much! XD
I drew this on TegakiE, not in photoshop so I don't really know how to set the brushes. Maybe you can try draw something on TegakiE too, it's not hard to draw things like this. Here is the link to TegakiE: [link]
And I am here:[link]

ethongtian In reply to ahobaga [2012-03-16 06:07:37 +0000 UTC]

Oh cool. Is it like deviant art too? and where do i click to draw.? Or make that brush?

ahobaga In reply to ethongtian [2012-03-16 10:06:03 +0000 UTC]

NO, it's not like DA.
It's an Internet oekaki website([link] ).
You don't set anything there, just pick the right color from the color palette, choose a brush size and opacity level and draw. Btw, there is only one round brush with 7 sizes and 10 opacity levels.
And you have to register an account there, and then click "Add New Entry" to draw.
Have fun there. ^_^

ahobaga In reply to ethongtian [2012-03-17 04:26:00 +0000 UTC]

just... draw it with the smallest brush size and opacity 50%... just try, it might be hard at first, but when you get used to TE, you will LOVE it, maybe.

Oh no...your save slot screwed up too? We need to write a letter to Tewi about this
"not saving our entries" business. It might just be my imagination, but ever since the last
server move that's been a high-complained issue. I was thinking about starting my next
project today; wondering if that's gonna happen to me again.

Anyhow, this is a beautiful entry!

Thank you very much!
And yeah, it happened to me twice. First here: [link] and then this. I guess the new server won't let us save too many times for one entry? It seems that the more effort we put into our drawing, the more likely some error would happen, haha. Now I take screenshot everytime before I save. Good thing is the black square thing never happened again.

haha, awww...speaking of a black square, your dA icon is
a black square. You should let me design you an avatar!
I made myself and Katsukat one. What do you say?

Awesome! I'll send you a note about the avatar. And, lol
you don't owe me a drawing. I'm offering the
icons to friends, so it's no problem at all.
