Huo Qintong

This morning, I was a little bit bored so I took my pen and I started sketch up girl.

 



Huo Qintong was a fictional character, written by Louis Cha (Jin Yong), in his novel, Romance of Book and Sword.
 
It had been adapted several times into TV series and once into two movies, Romance Book and Sword and Princes of Fragrance

I have written about historical background here (in Indonesian language):


Trivia:
Huo Qintong was written as an older sister of Princess Fragrance. 


Princess Fragrance herself was a real character although the written history were different with the oral history. Giuseppe Castiglione, an European painter who were in China during the time of Kangxi to Qianlong had painted her in an iron armor. The above picture were taken from page 76 of  Wang Guangxi's book, Chinese Kungfu, published by Cambridge University Press.
