Project: AKUJI
Hi! Welcome to my submission :3 These characters were made during my final year of university at the University of the Arts London and were inspired by Tibetan mythology and cultural aesthetics. Akuji, the boy, is the titular protagonist of our project. Pabu, the pathfinder and guide, acts as Akuji's mount and is the embodiment of the Snow Lion. I hope you enjoy my characters as much as I enjoyed creating them.

AKUJI - PROCESS
Pabu the cat is the pathfinder and guide of our project's titular character, Akuji. Despite its cute appearance in its housecat form, it is actually the avatar of the Snow Lion. When summoned, Pabu will transform into a fearsome jaded lion gilded with intricate golden designs, allowing Akuji to mount him and act as a quick means of travel.
