Description
During febuary the 7th 1948, the SDECE's bureau of outside interventions sent two of his agents to the French concession of Shanghai for a tricky mission.It's goal was to protect an ancient chinese artifact kept in Mr Wang's private collection from being stolen by an occult group of the chinese communist army.
This ancient chalice was according to the legend, a way for the one who drinks in an ancient source located in Tibet with this sacred cup, to get the power of the fire dragon, which means superhuman strengh, fast regeneration, improved refexes, and pyrokinesis.
Such a fearsome power in the hands of an unidentified communist leader in this begginings of Cold War and in the twilight of the second Chinese civil war would be a disaster for the western powers who are trying to ward off communism.
And as Mr Wang is a GuoMingDang partisan and a partner in French business all over the concession, he decided to call the SDECE for help.

Louis : "Well, it was written "proper attire required" on Monsieur Wang's invitation card, so Julie and I thought that it was the least we could wear for such a distinguished Gentilhomme, there was a prestige to honour!"

La concession existait encore à cette époque ?

Oui jusqu'en 1949, lorsque les communistes ont prit le pouvoir et ont décidé que tout ce qui était occidental était à bannir!

D'accord.
Je ne sais pas si tu as déjà vu le documentaire sur Shanghai durant les Années Folles diffusé il y a un certain temps sur Arte ?

Reminds me a lot of the scene in the James Bond movie Skyfall.

When he's in Macau? That's how the old Shanghai was actually looking like until the 80's

Yup that is the scene. Cool!

I went to the "old town" of Shanghai by night, that was very atmospheric!

That would have been cool!

It WAS very cool, unfortunately I don't have the pictures on this computer.

Looking at this, I can understand why some people might possibly believe that the red panda and the raccoon are related species. Between the generally similar facial features and the rings on the tail, they could pass of first or second cousins.
BTW, I really like the outfit you've got the raccoon in; it looks great. The facial expressions fit the theme of the drawing as well.

And that is why they are husband and wife! ^^
I am glad you like Louis' suit, I wanted him to wear something that looks both western and eastern, so I put him in a mourning coat with red vest with chinese dragons on it!
So he looks like a gentilhomme in China!

The suit most definitely does befit a Westerner in China, although, for some reason, I always picture a Westerner wearing a white coat in China; I don't know why. Maybe that came from a movie, I'm not sure. The fact that the wife, a red panda, is wearing a somewhat traditional Chinese dress also lends credence to the story line you're depicting here.

Actually as they are both French spies on a mission in China, I am glad that these suits fit this situation!
But by white coat, you mean a white mourning coat, froak coat, felt coat of something like that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure, actually. I want to say a white tuxedo coat; but I could be wrong. What I see in my mind's eye is James Bond (Sean Connery) in a white coat at a party or gambling establishment. I remember seeing him in a movie that had him in Hong Kong and he was wearing a white coat of some kind.
Ah, so she's French also. Okay. I thought that since she's a red panda and red pandas are native to China, she had to be Chinese. Thanks for the clarification.

I think that if she was Chinese, she would have smaller eyes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay. I'll accept that. Also, I believe her eyes would be a bit more oval. But, it's been a while since I actually saw a Chinese woman.

Yes some kind of almond shaped.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. I tried to remember almond shaped but my writer's mind went completely blank. All I could think of is it's an oval shaped nut. So, I just said oval.

If you are taking commissions I so want a dapper picture like this.
Great work. Loving the details on everything.

Thank you, but no I don't do commissions.
