Description
Chibi commission of the client’s friend’s character, a zaju performer! I had so much fun looking through reference photos of different performances, as the costumes for zaju theater are incredibly beautiful and detailed. But because of all that detail, I was a little worried about simplifying one enough to fit a chibi while still keeping that lush, elaborate feel! The outfit was most heavily based on a particular production of “Mulan.”
