Shaman : Old and the new. Traditional with the modern. Calmness and fury. Healing and hurting. Love and hate. More explanations below.

The shaman girl on the left is the latest incarnation of my own Medea Sin, in this case fittingly, as a Korean shaman. The fan behind her is actually from a Korean mural featuring various Korean costumes. I tried to show the yin-yang symbol as an opening eye on her scary book cover. The Korean dress pattern is another Korean painting pattern showing a few of the ten symbols of longevity : the sun, rocks, clouds, pine, and crane. The little pouch is where she keeps her medicines. You can barely make it out, but her glasses have little skulls on the tips too.

The girl on the right is her guardian. Not necesarily an angel though. In Korean her name would be "Kune Ja" or just "King" in English. Her hairstyle is based on a popular one in Korea as of this time, dyed blonde with those flares and curls. Blonde-dyed hair is a sign of nonconformity in homogenous Korea. Her jacket (which I am proud of) is embroidered with the actual private seals of past kings of Korea (Koryo period, 918-1392). The seals are not Korean letters though since the Korea alphabet was not invented yet. They are probably Chinese in origin. The nunchakus have rotating blades on them (I even drew in the little bicycle chain things), a design I've had in my head for nearly a year. She likes dark eyeliner.

Oh, and that's a little One-Eyed Kitty plush doll in her pocket. They're cute (and entirely made up).
