Artist's Comments

I am now working on one very nice project :)

I am illustrating 'Golden lion's' translation in latvian language... Golden lion is Chinese Buddhism essay about... about golden lion
oh, well story is something like that :

Gold and Lion come into existence simultaneously.
The ears and eyes of the lion penetrate with each other.
Gold and lion are mutually inclusive. The "one" and the "many" are mutually inclusive.
At the moment when we see the lion comes into existence, it is only gold that comes into existence.
When we look at lion, it is only lion, no gold; if we see the gold, there is only gold, no lion. If we see both, both are apparent.
Gold and the lion compliments with each other .
Lion ------- non-existence
Gold ------ reality
Lion is kharmas in which instance of thought arises and perishes. Each instance of thought comprises the Three NatureŽOŽž: past, present and future.
Both gold and Lion have their own autonomy.

(I found it somewhere on net :P)

we decided to make illustrations kinda without concept, because it would be impossible... well, it would be nice if you could help with some ideas and critique of course

:heart:

great job! the story you put with it was really intresting to read as well, i always like learning about old stories like that. there really intresting. i love those repeated textural lines around the gold lion. they work really well with it and help to make it shimmer. great work!
:iconthppt:
I think you did a fine job. Im not sure how else you would illustrate this maybe it would be interesting to have some symbolism dealing with sight,existence or the Three NatureŽOŽž
but the image is beautiful great job.
