Description

I was given the honor of working on TWO pieces for Represent Zine , which focuses on Humanformers of colour!

For the main piece, I chose to focus on the Camien Valkyries–Windblade, Lightbright and Chromia who are Ties That Bind's elite Girl Gang!

Lightbright took centrestage because I wanted to showcase a part of my culture as a Malaysian through her Minang heritage and outfit, which utilized batik-style motifs and elements of Minangkabau architecture for her mantle/shoulderpads.
The ornate frame and more delicate inkwork is is Art Noveau-inspired, and you get your first glimpse into the floating Venusian city of Caminus, which is very Asia-Centric with strong elements from Chinese and Indo-Malaysian architecture.
The bronze statue is that of Shu Lin Pei/Solus Prime wielding her hammer in one hand and a flame in the other which is said to have been taken from her forge from the Quintesson War era and has been burning ever since.
Those with the title ‘Mistress Of The Flame’ are entrusted with the care of this flame that they hope to keep burning eternally as a symbol of her and their indomitable spirit.
