Mythology Project - Asad

Tenth in the series: Asad, the red haired street vagabond/peddler/merrchant

Asad is a mixture of Indian (the ones from India) and a mesh of Middle Eastern races.

I drew him in relation to a Mayura, a peacock-ike creature from Hindu (Indian) legend. [link]


Project Description
The mythology project is something I did for the concentration portion of my AP Art portfolio. Devil's Parliament is a story of cultural and personal diversity in an era of strict social barriers. Each of my characters is of uncommonly mixed races; and each has his or her own distinct personality. After some research, I decided to integrate creatures/figures from the mythology of each character's cultures into the characters themselves to portray not only their heritage but their own unique personas.
