OK, honestly, I've probably wanted to know for a few years now, but where does this idea of Pan Gu as a serpent or dragon come from? From the Maken Shao: Demon Sword bio where he's referenced in-game:

Most depictions I remember of him have him as a bearded man with tiny horns and maybe wearing leaves.

I may have only one or two obscure snake references out there in a book somewhere but idk.

weirdest new trend: western fans getting judgmental or self conscious about fuxi and nuwa being your typical brother-sister/husband-wife creator god duo like hello??

Oh wow I didn’t know about that! Very strange considering how popular Greek myth in the West and that is all wife-sister-niece-aunt/husband-brother-uncle-nephew relations that are best not thought about. Very inconsiderate at best to be judging another culture for having similar myths when that isn't uncommon in creation stories... the double standards are real.

I will admit, I was first introduced to Nvwa's story first and its original form when she was the lone creator. And I feel like a lot of media just use the myth that she is the only creator as well so that doesn't surprise me when people learn about her husband as he is rarely mentioned, and that Fuxi was only a later interpretation of her story. As much as I understand that the husband was added later because of trying to change how Nvwa's myth was told I wouldn't be too surprised if they just hear about her from recent JTTW media (not in the actual books let that be clear) or from Fengshen Yanyi or Nezha media and again she isn't depicted with a husband as he is near non-existant. It might be just my lack of seeing other media but I really don't think I've ever seen him in modern media. I know that might be just on me but at least that is my experience.

But it interesting video about the Nvwa's original myth that I higher recommend people see on how the two different myths 1. Her being a lone creation goddess and 2. When she is given her husband in later interpretations.

Also, he has a great piece of media free on Billi of Pangu and Nvwa making the humans!!

Pan Gu | 盤古

I am currently trying to make a visual development of Journey To The West and I was rereading the start of the Anthony C. Yu’s translation where it has that poem about a version of a Pan Gu creation myth and I decided to draw him. This just a quick drawing and if I ever draw him again I will probably try to read more literature containing him to get more knowledge on how he looks physically. I recalled my own knowledge on the myth that I knew before hand and what is on the internet about what he looks like.

Who and what is Pan Gu?

Who and what is Pan Gu?

Who and what is Pan Gu? Pan Gu (also spelled Pangu or Pan-gu; Chinese: 盤古; pinyin: Pángǔ) is the creator of the universe, the first being, according to the prevailing creation myths in Chinese mythology. Xu Zheng (徐整) from the Three Kingdoms (三國) period is the first author to include the myth about Pan Gu. Pan Gu, originating from the Taoist tradition, is often depicted as a bearded man with…

Ascension of the World - Jane Bremer

Darkness. Ceaseless and reaching, it writhed and coiled upon itself. Over and around. Restless. Waiting... (Chine Creation Myth short story)

With great help, finally managed to get the website working. Here's is my first university piece: Ascension of the World. I'm really proud of how it turned out in the end!
