From top to bottom!

Red Red is more of a city lion. He prefers to bless shops and businesses and is often seen wandering the markets looking for 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘨 and red packets.⠀

Key Unlike Red, Key is more attuned to nature, and enjoys the company of the animals and beasts of the wild. If you have a snake or a crab problem, Key’s the one to call for a blessing.

Fei Fei here was named by the community on Instagram about a year ago! He loves his name!! He is the eldest of the three, so it’s his job to protect Red and Key, but really, he spends most of his time just making sure they don’t get up to any mischief!⠀

More from my #riot project

[artofcai]

Ooooff I haven’t posted on this account for ages! I’m reserving this account for my art-related posts. I’m spending a lot of time working on The Seventh Lion, a brand I created and am maintaining around Lion Dance themed imagery and merchandise.

These figure studies are for a riot project I have on the backburner

I don’t ship characters but Tumblr has made me refer to Shiro as Sheith.

Never change Tumblr.

Red’s next performance is at a quaint little seafood restaurant. But the cheng’s a bit high.

Reblogging this from my other art Tumblr with artwork exclusively for my lion dance project, The Seventh Lion.

The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks

A few illustrations from my Visual Development project, creating a visually appealing world for The Night Angel Trilogy, a fantasy series written by the greatest author, Brent Weeks.

From top down the images show: 1) The Warrens over swamp, 2) The Warrens street view, 3) Inside the Black Dragon Guild, 4) Warrens Graveyard (where Rat and Neph Dada meet). These scenes are from the earlier parts of the first book in the series, The Way of Shadows. Eventually, I intend to make my way through the book, then onto the second and third! 

(I had these images posted up on my Tumblr before, but I was sick, and in my delirium I deleted my old account, :(. Don’t try to be productive when on meds.)

Another Keith study. 

I’ll probably move onto Shiro afterwards. 

[artofcai]

More figure studies with Keith.

I’m chillin’ in Hong Kong right now, so it’s hard to find time to do some solid work. For now, have some more fighting Keith.

Morning figure study turned into a Keith study.

Here have some fighting, cowering Keith.
