Year of the Ox 2021
All done!
Before I add the final lighting effects.
The ox for the background and envelope.
The ox is my animal in the Chinese zodiac so I wanted to do something for Lunar New Year. I decided to try for a vintage Hong Kong pinup look, something a bit wistful. The paper cut ox design is my own, but of course I looked up some references. The quipao is also my own design, and the floral pattern is from a book on ornament.
