Part 2 of my cosplay-portrait. I’ve been asked t Part 2 of my cosplay-portrait. I’ve been asked to turn folks into characters before. I hope to be doing these much more formally in 2021.

2020 has turned out to be a prolific year. I fini 2020 has turned out to be a prolific year.  I finished a number of projects and am on the verge of completing a couple of more. I’m stepping away from the P.O.D. Promoting to share glimpse of one of those finished pieces #illustration #art #artwork #digitalart #digitaldrawing #characterdesign #finishedart #archery
I started this piece seeking reference to a Luck D I started this piece seeking reference to a Luck Dragon in Ge Hong's (葛洪 283-364 an originator of Traditional Chinese Medicine)  Baopuzi (抱朴子 Book of the Master Who Embraces Simplicity). I was lead to believe there was a recipe for immortality which included shenjiu 神虬 "divine horned-dragon." There was some uncertainty as to whether this dragon was actually a qiling (勤求). It says that to strive for immortality is not an easy game but can only be successful if enough efforts in learning are made. An immortal has to continue (qin qiu bu yi 勤求不已) to nourish these conditions in order not to lose his abilities. Therefore, students are as plentiful as hair on a cow's back, but those who achieved immortality are as rare as a dragon's horn. 因此,學生就像牛的頭髮一樣豐富,但是那些達到永生領域的人卻像神虬的角一樣罕見 #kungfu #dragon #chinesedragon #immortality #supportindependentartists #linkinbio #newart #redbubbleartist #martialartstraining #taoism #tcm #longevity

Flash back Friday-sort of: a mere 15 days ago I ad Flash back Friday-sort of: a mere 15 days ago I added this piece to my RB store later that day noticed someone acquired it on a tank top rathe than a mask.
