The Dragon and the Empress

(Chinese ink stick and Liquitex acrylic inks on Arches hot press watercolor paper)

I’m so, so happy with this– I haven’t drawn a dragon in a good while, and it’s been even longer since I’ve used ink instead of markers! I’m also just deliriously happy that it scanned pretty well, too. The darkest black has a sheen in person, and I was afraid it wouldn’t scan well…

Kay, so this picture looks really freaky, but not to worry.They look this way ‘cause they’re supposed to scare all them evil spirits, so if you’re not one, and chances are, you aren’t, they won’t try to catch you.

You can tell they’re black and white - like, duh! So they’re called the Black and White Guard of Impermanence. Cool, right? 

But waaaaaitaminute, if they’re guards, and Cowhead and Horseface are also guards, who do we see when we get to hell?

Eh, it depends if you’re Taoist or Buddhist. These two here are Taoist, and Cowhead and Horseface are Buddhist, so go figure. The Chinese people actually disagree with how hell looks like, [see previous post about hell] so they made up deities according to their system of beliefs.

Cool, huh?

On the Black Guard’s hat, it’s supposed to say, “Death to those who meet me,” and on the White Guard’s hat, it’s supposed to say, “Fortune comes to those who greet me,” so they’re basically in charge of catching bad souls and good souls respectively. 

Anyway, there is, as usual, a story surrounding these two guards:

The Black Guard and White Guard were actually two policemen in Ancient China. So they had to transfer a prisoner, but on the way they lost him and were all like, shit, goddammit. So like, they split up, and agreed to wait for each other under the bridge. The Black Guard waited and waited, but the White Guard didn’t show up, and so the river was flooded and he drowned. The White Guard came, realized what had happened, and was so depressed he hung himself.

Then, they were like, presented to the Jade Emperor, and he was mighty impressed with them so he was all like, “Kay guys, I totally have to make you Guards in the Underworld, and you’ll fetch human souls for me.” By the way, when they were mortals, the White Guard’s name was “謝必安”, or Xie Bi An, which means thanking the gods for one’s safety, and the Black Guard’s name was “范無救,“ which means having sinned till there’s no hope of salvation.

They are also called many other names too, like Great Elder (White Guard) and Second Great Elder (Black Guard), as well as 7th Master (White Guard) and 8th Master (Black Guard). 

Pretty badass, don’tcha think?
