The other side of the half man half eagle guardian.
Half Eagle - Half Man
I had a dream , a bird is flying on top of me , his size is so big till it block the whole sun, he landed , then I realize is with human head, he did not speck just gently tidy up his furt ,his wings, keep behind the wings, just like a noble resting his arm behind the waist, and the half man half bird turn in to a golden statue, and a golden coin drop to the floor. I pick it up, look at him again his eyes turn in to ruby , the shine are so incredible , I bounce and pay respect ..... I was then wake up in the middle of night with no gold coin on hand hahaha. Can not understand the dream.
I google it " the golden half man half bird, the next morning straight and this is my result .
The Karura is a mythical bird-man creature of Hindu lore. The gold-colored "Garuda" had a human body but the wings and face/beak of an eagle. In early Hindu literature, Garuda appears as the mount (avatar) of Lord Vishnu, and is thus semi-divine. In Tibetan tradition, Garuda (Khyung) is a mythical bird, similar to an eagle, but of gigantic proportions, able to block the sunlight with its size. In Japan, Karua is an enormous fire-breathing eagle-man with golden feathers and magic gems crowning its head.
Other Karura Trivia
- Karura is the mortal enemy of the dragon, who it feeds on. Only a dragon who possesses a Buddhist talisman (or one who has converted to the Buddhist teaching) can escape from the dragon-eating Karura.
- In Southeast Asia the walls of temples are often decorated with Karura, as at Angkor or Java. Maybe it is because I just come back from angkor wat trip hahaha.
- Thought to be oldest of the birds
- Flapping of wings sounded like clap of thunder
- Personifies the sun
- In Japanese paintings, the Karura is often depicted as an ornate bird with human head treading on serpents.
- A fierce bird of prey, the mount of Vishnu, variously described as an eagle, hawk, or kite. Garuda is the enemy of all snakes.
After all I understand a bit , I was just back from Bali trip, been seeing Garuda statue everywhere. In a temple I even touched a garuda statue and asked my friend , do u know the story or myth about this guardian ? No one answer .
After reading few page, i decide to paint. This is the unfinished piece cause I am not good with eyes , still not able to paint eyes with soul .
I hv no understand why all the myth make Garuda look fears, a not friendly guardian. I would like to dress up him , with harmony color, with music instrument instate of weapons , killing , hunting and bla bla bla , just nice , relax , playing harp :) also I have mixture Chinese oriental feel to my Garuda. I am sure there is always a "other side" of his personality- "gentle" in Chinese we call 刚中带柔：）

The Moderm Geisha (bad girl version)
A friend of mine ask me to draw him something , anything , u know actually when the theme are anything = difficult , so i ask him any color prefer - no , so what is ur house's wall? -white....what is ur major furniture color? empty !.... what do u like ? girl. hahaha naked? perfecto hahahha OMG!!
My friend is a very kind person , he know i am armature , but still he wont mind my drawing to spoil his house interior match. This is my 2nd drawing as gift. a little pressure :)
Anyway here is my painting for him ;
Just a night before he whatzapp me , i was doing a research about Nyonya (peranakan) cause i am actually half blood , was doing this research to ready for my next shoe design collection. Anyhow , a geisha illusion impressed me , a very sad geisha with red blood tears.
my sketch at beginner
Just started with the line, still very blur with the direction .
Why KOI TATTOO? - i think not so many know actually Koi are Chinese in origin , we call Carp. The carp
is now widely celebrated in Japan.
The Koi is more then just beautiful, masculine, positive qualities ,bright colorful, expensive , attention extra need and collectable.
Koi are surrounding with ancient myth in the Orient and their elevated status. This theme dates back to
ancient China, where a legend tells of how any koi that succeeded in
climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate (on the Yellow River)
would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a
symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement.
游鱼戏水被网欺，跳过龙门化身去，
三尺杨柳垂金钱，万朵逃花显神能.
I choose Koi tattoo in combination with flowing water to symbolizing courage, the ability to attain
high goals, and overcoming life's difficulties. I think that the must sprite to have to survive as a geisha.
naked geisha ?
hahaha 1st cause my friend requested a naked girl.
2nd it symbolizing the strong, strength and the self confident of the geisha.
GREEN KOi -What the fuck ?
I choose to hide the below part (face) of the geisha with a fan with a "normal" girl face paint.
She is hiding he personality behind.
i am not good with eyes so i decide to close her eyes.
fire red eyes shadow -?!! ah is my dream to put on , but i am too tan , will not be able to bring out the best of the geisha makeup :)
Black hair? never in my mind
was think purple hair color , as u can see on above , but then the color are to heading to blue.
SO.....
Green La
The Modern Geisha.
At the end i added a leopard print tattoo on the neck to stronger the feel of wildness , the typical modern street girl.
in the same time i added lining along the face - geisha's heavy make up not only cover their own real beauty,
also rape away their personality.
wearing a mask,
no matter what is the mood of the day u will never find the expression on geisha face.
This is my Modern Geisha with attitude.
still thinking about the background color .
will upload again the final piece :)
