I spent the early part of this evening driving around to every local Chinese restaurant and take-out place looking for Chinese newspapers. I used to have a huge stack, but I guess I threw them away. I want them so I can use the characters in the adverts and such to build up an oriental themed background. But I couldn't find anything at all.
Luckily I had a large amount of Chinese paper materials that I had brought back home from the streets in NYC a few years back. The most amazing thing I found which couldn't have been any more perfect for this piece was a poster for the Miss Chinese New York City pageant. The girls are going to represent the girls that are being held captive in the basement of David Lo Pan's hideout.
Using the main color palette to build up a base before I white it back out.
