For sticker designs for my sticker club! Guardian lions, and a phoenix.

Erroneously called “foo dogs” in English, stone lions usually come in pairs guarding the entrance of a building. The female lion protects the interior, and the male lion protects the exterior. Traditionally, both the lions are depicted with luscious manes. I chose to make my lady lion sleeker, along with her baby.

The western phoenix is known for its reincarnation. The Chinese phoenix is known for being the feminine counterpart to the masculine dragon.
