Portrait nominee

My inspiration comes from Ancient Chinese mythology.
“The cosmic chaos, the king of Pangu created the world with an axe.
His bone made the mountain and forest, the body became the sea, the blood was river, the hair turned into grass, the breath made cold wind, and the turbidity is dark clouds.
The Goddess of dark clouds lived in the mountain of the Great Wilderness. She used turbid dust as ink to cover the sky, then called rain and lightning."
