Wong Leisu's guzheng class 2, with Kiva-like gal at window.
(I could not fit the above title into the title block).

Here we are at the southeast Shasheerian seaside town in which the story of Wong Leisu is taking place. It is the subject of a comic or highly illustrated short story which I am desperately trying to get out past this gad-dam making-a-living sh--t. (As one can see, I am no fan of making a living!)
Well, ahem; Anyway...
So, the comic has a scene in a panel in which Wong Leisu, the gal on the left, is in a class where they are taught the guzheng.
The comic piece is here (click).


As you can see, the ocean is mere meters away. The class is ventilated by the sea breeze.
The gal on the right is using an electric guzheng. The gal in the rear has a conventional one. Wong Leisu built her own.

A grounds keeper, outside, peers in curiously. She wears her hair in the "Avik", a hair style which looks something like Kiva wears in that Cartoon Network presentation, Megas XLR. Shasheerians discovered the hairstyle via a strange, witch-craft-like way as described here (click).

Okay, artist's blah blah blah:
The picture was penciled WAY back in 1976 or there abouts. At that time, I did not know quite how to draw a guzheng. So, guzheng experts who happen by, spare the hoopin' and hollerin' about the inaccuracies, I know, I know. To correct, I would have to completely redraw the picture, something for which I have no time for with that dam making-a-living constantly nipping my ass.

Hands and hand positions were all wrong. So what did I do? Draw little light fixtures over them...
Now, this cover-up-fix might be considered a bit of a stretch until I remind you of where this scene is taking place. It is Shasheer (muscle women planet) on which there is NO petroleum. They do have electricity that comes from solar energy and wind generators. However, there is not a whole lot to spare.
Okay, so this is a class room. Usually, in USA and Canada, even if it is daytime, there are usually a whole bunch of fluorescent light fixtures flood lighting the class room to as bright as day. Well, they don't do that here. At night, there are only a few small lights, just enough to see by. During the day, they are most assuredly off. Playing a guzheng, especially when just learning, is close work. So each student brings a small white-light-LED light, if they want, for the close work.
Kiva-like lady added recently, during coloring and processing.
Whew! Gads, explaining stuff like that takes a lot of writing...

Lets see, what else... Oh yes, those 3 are not the only students in class. They are the rear most ones. There are perhaps another 10-15 students who are not in the scope of the picture.

There is another picture, next to this one, which is very similar, but the gal on the right has a different face, and there is no one peering in the window. So you kinda sorta have a choice.

By the way, closeups of the gal in the middle is here (click).
