Wow, it's been almost two weeks since I took a small break on this. So anyway, got the cheongsam knot done. and now, I'm getting back to work on this.

I'm not happy with those pants, especially in the crotch area. I think I might take a Marvelous designer type approach to it from now on and use patterns as opposed to the way i tend to do it now and let Shrinkwrap do the haevy lifting. I'm beginning to think that's the lazy way to do it and it shows. Same with the shoes.

Thought I'd try for something simple but original. Trying to keep in line with the reference pic I posted here. The jacket will be a simple red silk with a Gold Dragon design on it. I've been working on the dragon all week in GIMP. Had to paint it gold by hand. I'm trying to see if I can remove the white back ground and just have a Tranparent background. I don't know if i can. I don't think GIMP thinks white is a color, or i did something wrong trying to select it.

I haven't played in Gimp in a long time, and then I didn't do much in it, but it's not too difficult in Photoshop.

Good job on the dragon, BTW, or is that your reference image? That should look nice on a red silk jacket. ;)
