Design Description : The visual theme of this animation is using Tibetan Thangka Arts. As for the visual elements are stylize landscape with abnormal perspective, stylize clouds with Celestial Guards on top, stylize blossoms and Shakyamuni sitting on top of the lotus. The visual mood is mystery, artistic, colorful and disorder in arrangement. The colour palette is using split complimentary such as red, orange, cyan and yellow. The overall outcome will looks like flaked and chipped old Thangka painting. The style of the character animation will looks like Tibetan sacred dance.
