At the end of all this self-isolation, I have no doubt folks will be as hungry as that Dalmatian pupper I named this piece after. Hungry for some actual social interaction in our cases, that is...
A chibi-fied hero of Hyrule! This was the first time using a free art program called Krita. It's a bit different than what I'm used to but has many features and I could get it to do most everything I needed. Unfortunately, the illustration wound up looking washed out and dull so I took to Photoshop to punch up the vibrancy. So, for that reason, I'm not really sure if this is even any good! Seems ok for an experiment, I guess.
This image illustrates a Chinese fairy-tale from the 6th Century. Girl Weaver neglects her heavenly duties to spend her life on earth with the Goat Herd, this invokes the wrath of her family who force them to live apart. They are brought together for one day a year when a flock of tender-hearted magpies form a bridge to reunite them. This legend is still celebrated in China on the 7th night of the 7th month with a summer festival full of symbolism for newly-wed couples.
