Kiyohime
Eastern mythology.
Element: Fire [rage]
Creature: Japanese Dragon
Colour theme: Red + Orange
"One day, a handsome visiting priest named Anchin fell in love with the beautiful Kiyohime, but after a time he overcame his passions and refrained from further meetings. Kiyohime became furious at the sudden change of heart and pursued him in rage. The priest asked a boatman to help him to cross the river and when Kiyohime saw that Anchin was escaping her, she jumped into the river and started to swim after him. While swimming in the torrent of the river, she transformed into a large serpent (or dragon!) because of her rage. When Anchin saw her coming after him in her monstrous new form, he ran into the temple. He asked the priests for help and they hid him under the bell of temple. However, the serpent smelled him hiding inside the bell and started to coil around it. She banged the bell loudly several times with her tail, then gave a great belch of fire that melted the bell. The fire was so great and large that she not only melted the bell but she killed the priest as well."
My second of three designs for my Advanced Digital Illustration course. The objective was to create three designs that will be "placed" on a skateboard, snowboard, and surfboard.
