These are characters from an new opera that I'm currently in (as a background/chorus member). Mouse over each character to see their name, and press space to hear me humming an excerpt from the opera. :) Xiao Qing is pronounced "shiow ching" Thanks @-RosalinaCodes- for helping me with the pronunciation!
I might make a larger project (either an animation or a comic-type project) telling the story of these characters. Let me know whether you would be interested in seeing that! :) Art by me, characters/music based on the work of Cerise Lim Jacobs and Paola Prestini.
