SciFi and Fantasy Art Crane Shugenga by Jonathan M. Melius

This picture is probably more Crane-ish than my Crane Bushi. I tried to stay true to Crane Clan colors but its hard when all you got is sky blue and silver. That is why there is some red trim in there. The background is experementation. The poem on the left says: Frail from the journey Across a barren feild blow A wanderer's dream Its one of the last poems written by the master of haiku Matsuo Basho. Cranes are all about that sort of stuff.

15 Mar 2001	Ludovica Wing Shuen Price	Loading... Lovely colouring. The background is especially beautiful, and I love her posture. Did you write the Japanese haiku on the side? It looks very professional. Well done.

5 Apr 2002	Hettar7	Loading... I really like the positioning of her sword and the light at the base of it. Nice hood. Her outfit looks a little too modern though. Good coloring job, and good anatomy, though her hands look a little big.
20 Jan 2003	Loka Vegborn	Loading... Couldn't go by without telling you, I like this!! Personally I don't have anything against her cleavange... Ahem... I like her face! She is beautiful!! Love the coloring and the background especially!!!
5 Sep 2003	Rebecca Lynn Iaroli	Loading... feels dumb.... I uhhhh.... Can't find the haiku on the pic.... I'm so lost..... Help me out anyone?... The pic is beautiful, just wish i could find the haiku....
11 Oct 2003	Vampira D	Loading... AHHH Are you sure this is Manga? This looks like normal AMERICAN comics. A word of advice take some Manga and anime courses I'm sure they'll ..er...teach you better but anyways overall the drawings very good nice backround....
19 Feb 2004	Rie Ma	Loading... Yea, I can't find the haiku either. I like her clevage, personally. It's fantasy, right? I don't mean that in a dirty way, but if it's fantasy, outfits can be as impractical as you like. I really, really like her hands. Well done!
