Illustration Friday - Escape


Escape

It is an old Chinese fairy tale that is related to the Chinese Moon Cake Festival (or A Mid-Autumn Festival), celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month of Chinese calendar.

A woman , Chang-O, was married to the great General Hou. He was a skilled archer. One day, at the behest of the emperor, he shot down eight of nine suns that had mysteriously appeared in the heaven that morning. The people feared that these suns would appear again to torture them and dry up the planet, so they prayed to the Goddess of Heaven to make General Hou immortal so that he could always defend the country. Their wish was granted and he was given a Pill of Immortality. One day his wife Chang-O swallowed the pill and fled to the moon.

By coincidence, tomorrow is the Moon Cake festival and we are eating moon cakes.

Looks Ok but Unreal


Yesterday I read a fantasy art book, I found this interesting drawing.

It looks normal but it could not exist in reality.

Oil Portrait Work-in-Progress #02

Today just blocked in the colours for the back ground, hair and shirt. The face looked bright when these colours added. Will continue to work on the details on the face.

Submission to Illustration Friday this week: Karma

To continue putting something into a limited capacity, will cause overflow and wastage.
