A digital piece which I had done as reference for an oil painting, which I am going to work on, for the oriental museum exhibit in Durham of Japanese past and future present, adopting Japanese science fiction and fantasy and of designs of the past and future, where the mount Fuji is a background piece. I was going to insert an atom bomb in the background, and left it... it would make the piece dark instead of light. The character is a mech samurai geisha lady, doing flexing martial arts exercises with her katana, before returning to pilot her mecha.

Selected items in the museum which had been used for the inspiration and idea of the image.

Reflected in the character's clothes color scheme. The purple Kimono.

Redrawn in the character's jumpsuit design on her breasts, in a different colour scheme.
