About Master Ji Gong Movie Poster

The dragon and the monk, shown with a red kasaya, a patchwork outer vestment and a palm-leaf fan, are figures from the film and were rendered with three-dimensional software. The ink was made with water and tested on rice paper, hard paper and cloth to compare textures. All parts were then combined digitally.
