Ta Lo Carved Mural - Shang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings

This is the design sculpt for the 70 ft long mural featured in the film. This sequence was added during reshoots. Production wanted to loop back to the story carvings I designed for the Mandarin's family compound. It depicts the struggle Ta Lo had in defeating the soul eaters. The representation of the soul eaters is not a one to one translation, but rather a folklorical interpretation. It was a lot to tackle in a short time, but it was a blast.

This is a nod to the masterful carvings of the Dongyang school. Do yourself a favor and google that.
