Because most of us are traumatized by floor length gowns on forces of evil. They remind us of Carnie Illusionists.

because i'm an idiot - the Hakama don't look right to me, but a simple Goiogle Image Search

reveals that I am wrong, and possibly stupid.

i'll go with wrong, but keep the stupid coment for latter use
- Sofaspud - 03-31-2009
Actually... I would argue that your drawing has it wrong.
If you look at real-life hakama, the pleats (when present) go all the way up. Your drawing does not have that, which -- to my eyes, and judging by the
reactions of others, other's eyes -- makes it look like a ruffled gown.
If you want the oni to wear a ruffled gown, that's fine -- but if you meant it to be a hakama, it doesn't -quite- work. I would never have guessed
that's what it was until you said something.
That said, it's a nice drawing, but I don't know that it's conveying what you want it to convey -- from the waist down, at least.
(I very much like the mask, however. Creepy, that.)

Very nice Hannya mask, I'd say. Kareshi's the sort who'd be a fashionplate if she didn't want to upstage Nogi. That is, different Kimono and
mask every mish, etc.

- Foxboy - 04-23-2009
Hmm. MAy want to see if you can find some photo reference for a flautist, the arms and shoulders look off.
Also, and this is a common problem for us artists, the head looks a little disproportionate. But still, a good effort.

I'm not an artist, I'll state that up front. But I do tend to be good at spotting what's wrong with a drawing (or so claim some artist friends of
mine).
I think what Fox is noticing, in part, is the hand positioning. Ye Olde Google pulls up two great (IMO) examples of traditional Japanese flute players. See
here:
Pic 1
Pic 2
As you can see, the common element in both of those is the rotation of the hands. In your sketch, Nogi's hands are both cupping the outside of the flute;
in the pictures I linked, only the left hand does that. The right hand is rotated and grasps the flute from the other side.
Just for grins, here's a third of a ... more modern approach. Note the hand positions, however.
Pic 3
Lastly, and it may just be me, or the fact that it's still in the 'sketch' stage, but the hip positioning seems a bit off. More specifically, it
appears that the cloth is tucked between the legs -- which is fine -- but if you look at the right leg it appears that her body is twisted. Her knees
don't line up properly for someone kneeling in that position. Alternatively, she's got a sudden widening of the hips going on (at odds with her narrow
torso) and is not, in fact, wearing skin-tight garb under that cloak. I can't quite tell.
On the plus side, I think you've nailed the arm positioning, which is tricky considering it's a female figure and the pose means an arm has to drape
across the breasts. A bit more depth there would be nice, but that'd be in the shadowing stage, I think.
