As always, comments and critiques welcome!

Looks great

Where did you get the pen for this and is a paint or ink based?

IIRC, I got the Sakura from Blick Art. Any good art store should carry them (or something very similar), and they generally cost ~$3.

This is paint-based. You could use ink but you'd HAVE to have a very matte (flat) surface for the ink to adher to and dry correctly without running

Very nice.

I thought you were going to show off how to do the blossom stencil decal like the japanese used to paint on chi-ha's



I could see this print being used on cloth a la samurai.

Words fail me at how much I love that farseer model.

I smell pretty marines nearby!

lol

Awesome work that is a nice touch to a model that I see all the time and usually looks pretty bland to me

That is beautiful

gorgeous. thank you so much for posting a tutorial too. i may want to use something like that when i get around to painting my faerie queen.

I have been trying to paint my eldar grave tanks with cherry blossoms could you do a guide for them or have a link to a site that will show you how to do larger ones?

If you can wait a couple weeks, I'll have a tutorial on how to paint larger ones (plus M. Fuji-like mountians!)

That model is absolutely amazing.

*shakes fist at work's filters*

Will have to wait until I get home to see this. Want to flower power up some of my Eldar, so will be interested to see how this is done and how it looks.

Very cool!
