FanArt: Princess Kushana

Fourth daughter of the royal house of the Torumekia. Princess Kushana is one of the leading characters in the Hayao Miyazaki's epic manga comic: 'Nausicaa of the valley of wind'. Although Nausicaa herself is clearly the main character of the story, I have always found Kushana to be much more interesting and 'real' person than her. Nausicaa is too much 'messiah like' whereas Kushana can be vengefull, mersiless, cynical and bitter and still be a good person after all.

Because I couldn't find a single picture of Kushana within Elfwood, I decided to draw her in her full armor, under the doubleheaded serpent of Torumekia. Long live princess Kushana!

This is excellent. Very nice attention to the detail work.

:-) Panu Hakkarainen replies: "Thanks! I did really "invested" to the details. Hayao Miyazaki's work is really detail rich and I wanted to be loyal to that. Besides I really think that Kushana is looking cool in her armor. "

That's a great picture of me except ... before I was turned into a vampire in 1627 and I didn't wear that much armor back then. I lived in fuedal Japan.

Spectacular! You have a very impressive knowlage of the Nausicaa manga, which is considerably rare. Kushana is one of my favorite characters, having so much depth and complexity in her role. I'm truly glad that some one can portray one of Nausicaa's less noticed, but greatly important charcters here on Elfwood.

P.S: I agree with Lori Crow, you showed lot of professionalism in the detail of this image.

:-) Panu Hakkarainen replies: "Beeing in summer holiday so my reply is late but... Thanks for very praising comment. Nausicae is one of my favorite manga comics and Kushana one of my most favorite manga characters just because of her complex nature. You rarely find so deep charachter designs in comics. That is why I though she should have her place here in Elfwood. "
