Commission: Fujihana Chinatsu

Commission For:
My Commission Information: [link]


I loooove drawing geisha and oiran. Their look can be so exotic and fun to design.


Funny story, doing commissions again, I was reminded of the "breast size chart". I ask the commissioner what the bust size is of the character: Small/Medium/Large? More often than not, they say, "Hani size" or "Not Hani size". Hani's bewbs have become their own measurement. Needless to say, the commissioner wanted Chinatsu's bust to be "Hani size". I responded with, "That, I can do."

Fun Fact: The ornamental hairpins often seen on geisha and oirans are call "kanzashi". Though oirans usually wear 6 of them at a given time. And geisha usually wear no more than 4.

For those of you who are curious what the difference is between an oiran and a geisha -- oirans are courtesans. Geisha are entertainers or waitresses (in a manner of speaking).
