This is a WIP for the current Conceptart.org CHOW competition, The brief is to design a Chinese Spirit Guide, that guides pandas to safety. Some say the Guide is a panda others say it is a person wearing bamboo, to make the panda follow, but they all tell of the guides ornate staff adorned with a panda head.

Anyway, hope you enjoy and feel free to leave any feedback or suggestions, i still have time for improvements and the piece is far from done.
