SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Emperor

This image is from a new anime-themed set of original tarot cards I'm currently working on. This picture depicts the Emperor, (who represents the masculine forces in nature). He is usually depicted as an old, white-haired man in Western imperial dress, but I decided to depict him as a Chinese emperor (and because this is an anime-style tarot, I've made him a bishounen. Woo!) He is aligned with the sun card (hence all the sun imagery on his regalia instead of the dragons which would usually adorn the clothing of a real-life Chinese emperor.)

I like your emperor because you have depicted him as a younger, goodlooking man rather than an older one. His younger appearance makes him appear more approachable than traditional emperors. Your emperor embodies a great positive potential for whatever situation the querent wishes to reflect upon.

Actually I think his hair and eyes scream "Youko Kurama" (my namesake NOT devil hunter yoko!)
or Sesshoumaru from Inu-Yasha.

Oooooo*kay*.... I'm surrounded by anime freaks!! *wail*
-note: "kawaii" is a *Japanese* word, and all the funny little ishu bishu snishu wordies running around are making my head spin! *groans and beats head against wall*

This is a Chinese Emperor!According to the peculiar style of the adornment on his imperial robe ,he ruled in an age when the Japanese language had not been into form! Without the knowledge and wisdom they learnt from the Chinese culture ,the Japanese people would have been living as babarians for most of their history.
