i wished i had better words for the title of this artwork... i should have... because i could at least use tribal words to title this artwork... but anyhow...
the story of this design is that i have a few co-workers who are bidayuh and likes tattoo/art in general... so during chinese new year, we had a company party and we had a few drinks together and talked about doing arts. they asked me about how i do arts, and about basic starters' tips on arts.... and after a couple rounds of beer, one of them told me to design a tattoo for him! he told me to draw a wild boar anthro, holding a big knife with a swinging post. i thought he was drunk. but he told me that he was serious...
so, i went on to design this tattoo. my co-worker is bidayuh, with quite some tattoo on himself already. he has a carp on his arm, and raijin on this chest... when drawing his idea, i thought that bidayuh / sarawak is actually quite famous with our traditional tribal tattoos. and that boar hunting is actually quite known here... so, i decided to that it would make sense that i put in lots of bidayuh elements to it. so, i made this boar warrior dressed in almost traditional bidayuh warrior clothes, and having tribal patterns on different part of the design... well, it's a way to promote my country to the dA world too... 2014 is visit malaysia year. there are events all over the country. and if you are a tattoo/music/tribal fan, you should not miss the rain forest world music festival on july this year.
for those who do not with to google about everything, malaysia is the name of my country. sarawak is a state in malaysia. bidayuh is one of the native tribes/race in the state.
that's all. thank you.
