Maybe it is a dream, the difficult one of which it never wakes up. I feel alone, empty, maybe nobody understands it but, I already am dead within.

The twelve Shēngxiào生肖, aka 12 Symbolic Animals, they’re visualized presents of the 12 Dizhi(地支): 子(zǐ)、丑(chǒu)、寅(yín)、卯(mǎo)、辰(chén)、巳(sì)、午(wǔ)、未(wèi)、申(shēn)、酉(yǒu)、戌(xū)、亥(hài). The 12 Dizhi are symbols of ancient Chinese way for counting the years. Each Dizhi has its own meaning of explaining how nature world loops. It can be used in Year, Month and 12 Hour in one day. It belongs to the system Tiangan-dizhi天干地支, ancient Chinese calender, which is really complicated even some Chinese are confused themselves. Therefore that English translation Chinese zodiac is actually wrong. Dizhi is irrelevant to the zodiac, and totally unrelated to western astrology. I feel it’s kind of inappropriate to call 12 Shengxiao the chinese zodiac for it sounds like shengxiao derives from zodiac(that’s what the idiot wiki said). So next time when someone says Chinese zodiac, please correct them it’s called 12 Shengxiao. The lovely illustrations are by chinese artist 萨菲珥safeier.

Happy 10th Anniversary Avatar/Korra universe!! In celebration of this great milestone, Nucleus Gallery is hosting an art exhibition from March 7th - 22nd! http://www.gallerynucleus.com/gallery/462/exhibition/ Here’s my submission to the show titled “After the end of all things”. To me personally, this piece allowed me to revisit the Korra world once again after the last BG I turned in back in July 2014. Especially towards the end of production, everyone had so much work to do with so little energy left, that the only thing that kept us going was the love we have for the show and support from each other (thanks fellow Krew!). As BG designers, our final assignments were challenging because of the scale of Republic city and all the buildings that interact with the characters in the epic finale. It was tough but somehow we made it though (way to go Christine!). So to me, this was indeed after the end of all things.
The artwork is 11x14in and it’s done in Pen&Ink!
Come see the show!
My second entry for Month of Love! This week’s theme was favorite love story and I gotta say, it was too hard to pick just one out of the twenty some-odd that I came up with.
I always come back to the knight/noble lady trope because I’m cheesy and it’s the best. It’s also a Valentine’s Day image for m’lady (hah) and I because I call her that so often.
Ink and digital.
