PATRON CNY limited illustration package
Patron commissioned me to create a limited illustration package for Year of Oxen in 2020. I’m inspired by the woodblock New Year painting. As door gods, they have different responsibilities. For example, a military god with a hairy oxen’s head, always holding a sword in his hand to avoid illness, and bad things coming from outside, or a gentle civil god with a legendary treasure representing money like RUYI or YUAN BAO, attracting luck and wealth to come in.However, it might be too severe for customers who don’t know our culture perfectly.  For this reason, I think it’s better to let them be more friendly with smile face and something easier to recognize, like lanterns, red packets,  plum blossom or peach in their hands, representing the function of different door gods,  “Fu”(Lucky), “Lu”(Wealthy), “Shou”(Longevous ), “Xi”(happiness ).Considering this picture will be used in Spring, I add some patterns of flowers, agaves, and bees in the corner as decorations to convey a vibrant and hopeful year is upcoming.Client: Patron
