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. The background music will
use the music of the sacred dance that give the feeling of mystery
and artistic.
