This is a quick scribble of a ref for Wu Ming's tummy rope; a lot of artists have drawn it with those neat ribbons representing the four elements, but the rope ALSO has shide on it (folded paper shapes representing lightning) between the ribbons because Wu's tummy is a sacred space, like a Shinto shrine/temple.

I just threw this ref together so I can have her rope drawn properly in the future. It's in scraps because it's just a rope without its owner and it kinda looks like crap (that's why I cut better refs for each ribbon and for a shide from pics I have)

Cheers
