Religion and Map




I got shown a really cool back of old illustrated map recently and I wanted to do another map inspired by one of them. It was an interesting circular map though I think that one was more depicting just a city instead of a city and surrounding area. I enjoy creating these maps since they require a more old school approach in illustration over something really heavily conceptual. I've also been trying to create an illustration based on Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy in Asian Buddhism/Taoism. There are variations on the face and just a few ideas on how to pose one of the arms.
