Hanuman













This illustration was inspired by the Thai version of the Indian Ramayana. By the ancient Siamese "Thais" it is called Ramakien. Hanuman is the monkey god in the Ramayana epic. I wanted to take ancient concepts and illustrations and make my version as realistic as possible.

When I see something live action with hanuman, I see the actor being very monkey-like and always looking for something over the horizon. I just wanted to add that little bit in the illustraion because its such an iconic pose.
