For the fusion, the things came out from the vase is flower and its stem.
Necklace+earing that all will add in detail in the final work, and the clothes will add some pattern too. I pick up the curve lines, patterned surface from the designer and combine it with my style. The image is in black and white because it is the only similarity of me and Aubrey Beardsley, and i think it is able to link up my style with Aubrey Beardsley's style.

As for the Chibi style picture, actually i just use the same character but draw it with Chibi+Aubrey Beardsley style.(patterned surface+black and white+curve lines)
