Shadow : I drew this in January 2001, I think. I hated it, left it alone, and inked it this past summer. Inked it dark, and then I liked it.

The background is a Korean flower design similar to floral patterns on wedding dresses in late 19th century Corea (Choson Dynasty ... spelled with a C because that's how Korea was spelled prior to the 20th century).

The weapon on her back is the handle portion of one of those hook swords used by Michelle Yeoh in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

The belt is a modification of Korean wedding makeup. The circular motif is the SIN logo.
