Chan Li, Martial Arts Master by Cyr - for 2017 Secret Sophie

[Cyradis]

I painted this one in Fall/Winter for @Jay for the 2017 Secret Santa. He said he was playing a martial artist in a tabletop campaign, so I gave him "Bruce Lee". Bruce Lee has some classic yellow and black pants, so I changed the black for red for flair. To avoid ketchup-and-mustard (and the original pants color is Mustard Yellow), I popped some doodles onto the belt. I did intense shading on the skin to make it clear that the dude is made of muscles. The yellow is shaded with Arbuckles Brown from Scale 75, which is pretty much a brown-purple, through Reaper Mustard Yellow, to Scale 75 Hykey Yellow, and Reaper Linen White. I kept the base minimal for ease of use in Jay's game, and gave the base some extra sealant, anticipating handling.

Huuuuuoooooooaaaaa!! Revenge of the yellow dragon!

 

Great work! I really love the colours and how everything fits together. And I want to point out the dragon on his belt. Wonderful!

 

I once again admire your painting skill, dear Cyr.

YESSS!! You could tell that it is a dragon, LOL!! I wasn't sure if that came out alright.

I have been long enough in Asia to distinguish a dragon from a snake^^
