- Title: The Lady Shodō
- Artist: Lady_Eldae
- Description: This avatar is based off of some inspiration of ancient Japanese calligraphy, particularly the Lotus Sutra, or the Hokke Gisho, that was written early in the 7th century and is considered the oldest Japanese text. It is written in a cursive script and illustrates that calligraphy in the Asuka period was already refined to a high degree. Elegant and detailed, this calligraphy inspired this avatar, as well as cultural Japanese attire. Shodō also, literally, means the way or principle of writing.

Awesome but maybe if you had blended the colours together...because it looks too black inside the avi and way too white outside (not talking about the background, of course XD).
Still lovely 4/5

The nice little touches in this one make it stand out, the sandals,The barely noticeable Chest-Piece, and the little bow in the hair, make it all seem the avatar seem like a natural writer, Ah Im definitely Favoriting this one. - Report As Spam

- Well, calligraphy is a beautiful art that I admire. And yes, I really enjoy the game Okami, so perhaps that was some mild inspiration? Gives me an idea for a cosplay next week. =P
