Bali Dancer

Dayak Warrior Princess


Dayak is the way Javanese people called the native of Borneo. They are actually consist of many tribes and ethnic but for Javanese (and influenced the other Indonesians including Malays), they are simply called "Dayak".

Dayak women are usually beautiful and some of them show chinese-heritage feature.

I know my drawing is inaccurate since I also add larger feather and gave the character weapon and shield. If you want to see more accurate pics, you can see in

There are topic in an online malay forum that posted all ethnic in Malaysia including Dayak (yup.. Indonesia share Borneo Island with Malaysia)

Anoman and "Anoman and Trijata"

Anoman is a character whom I most draw. The character itself was interesting since he was half a god, a quarter of human, and a quarter of monkey.


The first picture present Anoman and Trijata. Trijata was a she-devil (Raksasi), a daughter of Vibisana and also Ravana's niece.

I always present Raksasa tribe had blonde hair such as my previous drawing. Sometimes I also draw a skull accesories to present their blood lust.

In Ramayana story, Trijata was ordered by Ravana to guard his captive, Sita. When Anoman was sent by Rama, he met Trijata who accompany Sita. In some Javanese version, Trijata also show the escape route for Anoman. In some minor Javanese version, both Anoman and Trijata falled in love and got married.

The background of the picture can be the forest surrounding Alengka (if the story take a place when Trijata show escape route from Alengka to Anoman) or Taman Argasoka (if the story take place Trijata let Anoman met Sita).

The second picture is another version of Anoman.
If you are an expert of Wayang stories, you know the Anoman drawn here are Javanese version. If you want to see other version of Anoman (India or Burmanese), you can see my previous drawing, titled Parallel Anomans.

The girl who falls


Sometimes I'm tempted to draw an interesting scene. This picture, for example, were challenging because you have to imagine the right perspective, the distance between the falling object (the girl) and the street, the right angle, and so and so and so..

Perhaps, I should try the same theme one day

yet another Tribal Rivalry


This is another "Tribal Rivalry" theme. For those who have watched Putri Gunung Ledang perhaps found this pics familiar.
