Art Portfolio piece #1

Main theme: Mythology

Jian Bird

I was heavily inspired by J. C. Leyendecker's art style. I took some pieces of his art and mashed them all together to create some character designs for this piece. Initially, I was going to make a crane and dragon design as the supposed appearance of the jian bird was it had the body of a crane and head of a dragon. But I gave up on that idea and decided to take photos of some buildings around my area of living. The outcome of this image wasn't my favorite but I made myself draw backgrounds for once as they are my main weakness. The original piece does not have my signature as it is a submission for a school art portfolio.
