Seriously...it would be better if I DO have a tablet...the lineart for this would be much better.

Anyways, this was drawn a few days ago, as it was inspired by a picture I found while looking at random deviations here. The main inspiration was Vietnamese Water puppets, where they happen to be popular in Vietnam. Although the "puppet" in this picture is not really a puppet, it's just in general what it is. It's really a young wandering Vietnamese girl as a Water puppet. And since there's a lack of really really marvelous anime CG with Vietnamese culture, I might as well be the first to revive Vietnamese-related anime CG. There's too many CG that's influenced by Japanese culture...it's getting cliched! I'd appreciate seeing anime CG with culture references from OTHER countries that are not so popular. I'm not saying I'm an awesome artist myself though...I'm still learning the advances >.<

For the picture itself, I didn't actually draw it by hand and scanned it this time. What I did was draw EVERYTHING on openCanvas, but using a mouse. I drew the stick/manequin figure for proper anatomy, then the actually details. It may sound like it took a very long time to draw the lineart this good using a mouse...but for me, the contour did not take very long to draw, as I had a long time experience using MSPaint for starters since I was 7 years old, I think. So approximately 8 years without using the line tool most of the time. What took me a long time though was the CG, as usual. While the lineart took about half an hour, the CG part took me almost three hours!
