Bodhi - Monk Order of the Moon, Guardian of the Dreaming Tree

I'm so happy with this. Thanks again to all of you for supporting my artwork.

Here are a few details of interest I thought I would share. The golden threads on the cloak are for each year of Bodhi's life. There's a little flying squirrel that live in the Dreaming Tree. Fairy bugs are used in the lantern. And there might be a magic cricket in the little gourd on his waist. The bottom of the staff holds a scroll. We're not sure what's on it though. The tree itself has leaves of moons and stars.

Here's the final token:

I decided the concept sketch was more fun to look at for the free sketch version so I went with that. I might need togo back into the drawing and pull out some values to make it more interesting for me.

And lastly the Alternate token is an Ally. My wife loves these so much that I have to paint one of Tiberius and he'll be a Cleric for sure. He'll be fighting some demons. Dogs make the best Allies so it just seemed a great fit.

Everything has been ordered today. I hope to be shipping before the end of the month. Thanks for being a part of the tribute series. I'll be posting what's coming up next very soon.
