The eight Immortals! Bios- Last but not least - the Holy Fool

This sketch was a little farther away from what I wanted than what I eventually settled on. Lan Cai became shorter and more childlike in the actual book, and was dressed differently, leaving the swishy stuff to Peach.

As soon as I get Matt's notes we'll begin the story proper - I've got a few pin-ups and such to upload to pass the next few days, so I'll do that for now.



Matt's Bio for the Holy Fool-

"The youngest of the Eight Immortals, Lan Cai is the sprightly court jester of the group. A street entertainer, he is often depicted in outlandish costumes and women's make-up. The money he earns is donated to the poor.

Always dancing and singing, he walks about with one bare foot and is frequently followed by adoring crowds. He is often found in taverns buying wine for everyone.

His color is gold. His animal is the elephant. His symbol is a basket of fruit and flowers. He is the patron of performers and the poor. He is happy and laughing all the time.

The Holy Fool is slim and short. He is baby-faced with unkempt hair."
