Sometimes I wonder if volcanic activity happens because the volcano is coughing or sneezing.

When I was a kid, we used to read this book: “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt”. There was this part where the family walked across a field of tall grass and the grasses created a noise. “Swish swish swish swish!” I keep remembering that scene as I drawing this.

Anyway, I wanted to make things different this time: The timelapse video.

Trigger warning: Due to the nature of the timelapse video, there are some flashing images/scenes that might affecting folks with high sensitivity. My apologies.

I’m really happy with how this turned out. There are areas I need to improve, specifically, the lantern’s light. However, I really like the overall feeling with the rain and the foliage.

I learned the misty background from my coworker, Caroline. She’s joining Goatober on Tumblr, and on Day 4, she made this drawing with misty forest background and it was so pretty! I decided to try on today’s drawing.

There are some areas here that I would love to fix, especially the boulder’s texture. Maybe in another time ?

This is a really simplified version of Indonesia’s Barong Bali. I made this in a rush, and while I feel I can do more, I’m actually pretty happy with how it turned out.

For those who are not familiar with Barong Bali, the actual costume is waaaaaaay more elaborate and grand than this drawing. Also, the costume itself is really big. The dancer who’s holding the headpiece has the whole body covered down to the toe. In this drawing, I made it simpler and smaller to focus on the mask aspect.
