Luxury Lacquered Coffin of Marquis Yi: Largest in History
The coffin of the Warring States period was unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng (曾侯乙) in Leigudun (擂鼓墩), Suizhou, Hubei, in 1978.
The outer coffin is 3.2 meters long, 2.1 meters wide, 2.2 meters high, and weighs about 7 tons. It is composed of 10 copper columns embedded within 10 wooden boards of the same height. The painting on the surface of one of the coffins depicts weird and armed anthro-zoomorphic beings.
Displayed in Hubei Provincial Museum (湖北省博物馆).

The Louvre calls this a “Little Unicorn” and I just find that charming as hell. 
[ID: A deep relief sculpture of an arched gateway or nave, in which a unicorn is sitting; the unicorn has a large twisty horn, a little beard, a smile on its face, and cloven hooves. In front of it is a coat of arms, a diamond in four segments, each segment holding a number of fleur-de-lis designs.]

Transi de René de Chalon by Ligier Richier
This transi has become one of my ‘milestone subjects,’ I tend to take a stab at it after a year or so has passed and usually find myself pleased with the progress I’m making as an artist. I also appreciate the fact it’s helping me figure out which brush settings in procreate work with me rather than against me.

The main content I want to draw is the dualism of soul and spirit in the context of the early Tang Dynasty. In the early Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has become more popular, but the dualism of "the soul returns to the wilderness and the vigor returns to the underworld" from the Spring and Autumn Period is still prevalent in the tombs.
The main manifestation is that the tomb passage is from the inside to the outside, followed by the inner house and the gods.The spirit of the tomb owner resides in the inner house, while the soul is guided by the frescoes on both sides of the tomb passage all the way out to the sky 😋
(The figures and architecture inside are mainly based on the murals of Prince Yide and Princess Yongtai.
((I haven't said that my current direction of study is not practical art, but art history and art management. I am in love with the subject of early Chinese painting, and it may become my future research direction.
Whatever….this is my first attempt at animation, although it's less than half a minute, but I actually drew 122 frames, soooo tired😇😇😇hope you enjoy it 😉

Bird, Tiger, Serpents and a Pair of Antlers: Warring States Art Device
Another remarkable sur of the pre-Taoist period.
The sculptural group is dominated by a mighty Bird, whose wings are complemented by antlers. Some have rashly classified it as the Phoenix, according to another version it is a Crane. However, I would warn against light-minded ornithological typing. The thumbnail Tiger serves as a pedestal for the Bird, pressing two serpentine bodies with its paws. The coiled snakes are devouring a pair of fliers.
The artifact may turn out to be a drum stand common at the time. Other figurines of antlered birds standing on tigers are known. This common motif unites the spiritual animals of the Lower and Upper Worlds. The amalgamous zoomorphic imagery is probably of shamanic origin.
Antlered and winged beings were also a widespread pattern in depiction of the zhenmushou (鎮墓獸), tomb guardians. The solemn or ferocious creatures served as the owner's spiritual animals in the afterlife and guides on the ascent to Heavens.
The entire lacquered wood sculpture group is painted black with subtle gold and red ornamentation. The object was unearthed from the Tomb No. 1 in Jiuliandun (九連墩1號墓), Zaoyang, Hubei. Now it is in Hubei Provincial Museum (湖北省族館).

She remade her, she held her bones in her hands and put each piece back together. Only to have to carry on without her.
Everything she did, she did for Falin

Inspired by The Locked Tomb and Howls Moving Castle, and also how hot these two look in these outfits/forms. This will be a future print for cons this year.
