| 27 Mar 2002 |  Akemi Mizu | Her clothes? *points up to the last comment* Look at her FACE! Beautiful! You really have captured the Japanese female 'look'! And I would know, on a counta of me being one! Tee hee! I love her! She's the one in the kimono too right? The one with the fan and chopsticks in her hair? EEEEE! Keep up the awesome art making!   Sean C. Riley replies: "Thank you very much, Akemi. Though you are mistaken about one thing. This is Kitsuki Nankai, a young magistrate of the Dragon Clan. The other woman you refer to is Shosuro Keiko, a spy from the Scorpion Clan, who is also depicted in "Seduction"." | |
| 3 Apr 2002 | April Walker | She is beautiful. I love the way you captured the her expression and the fact that her hair is a straight line while her body is tilted, wonderful compositon and wonderful drawing. | |
| 8 Apr 2002 | Sarah S. | Sean, She is beautiful... though I believe you already know that being perhaps you put all of yourself into your art.(to bad we cant put our whole self in other aspects of our lives) In our dreams we can escape. About the first comment, I may be wrong but I belive her posture was deliberately made rigid for the ghost of her ancestor and his constant reminder that her life is not really hers to live the way she wishes too, but of the ways of her ancestors. | |
| 13 Apr 2002 | Bonnie Miller | Such awesome detail on the helmet! And the way you didn't put any irises in the grandad's eyes gives it that perfect ghostly effect. ^_^ Two thumbs up! | |
| 1 Jul 2002 |  Lyndell Stout | She is very beautiful and you certainly have a keen sense for authentic looking costume designs.  Sean C. Riley replies: "Than you, Lindell. Its strange, I get a lot of compliments about my cloth work, yet I've always felt its one of my weak points. I guess its a symptom of being overly critical of myself." | |
| 22 Oct 2002 | Bayushi Hanzo <BayushiHanzo@aol...co | The grandfather's helmet design reminds me very much of Togashi Yokuni's. Very very good work with it. This is a wonderful Dragon Clan peice.  Sean C. Riley replies: "Indeed, the grandfather's helmet is modelled very strongly on Togashi Yokuni's helmet. Blame it on my lack of originality at the time. But it seems to work well to give the character a sense of impressiveness, so I'm happy.  " | |
| 17 Nov 2002 | Nikkicub | That helmet is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. | |
| 22 Sep 2003 |  Jenna 'Aizxana' Pickering | wow shes so pretty. Love the pose and the expression. And that helmet is so cool! | |
| 9 Mar 2006 | Isawa Nazomitsu | Somebody tell Yokuni I found the guy who stole his helmet! ^_^
Seriously, you did a great job on the contrast between the living girl and the ghostly ancestor. Even without knowing the title or the background story, I could tell that there was a strong relationship between this young woman and the stern-looking man behind her. Very nice. | |
| 18 Nov 2007 |  Rebecca Marie Methven | wow, she looks almost exactly like a girl in my dance class, Great work, very lifelike. Even the ghost! haha. | |
