The story of Mazu

Another project that I am working on is the story of Mazu, Chinese goddess of the sea.
The story is about Mazu's childhood as a girl with superpower and how she met her guardians "Thousand Miles Eye (千里眼)" and "With-the-Wind Ear (順風耳)"

This will be developed into short flash animation ....when I have enough time. :P
Before the animation development this will be in flat and graphic style illustration done with Flash.

Poster/Cover of the story (will revise it after I get my teacher's feedback)

3 Characters design of the Mazu story

Mazu - childhood

Thousand miles eye

With-the-wind ear

Props and background are still under development.

May I suggest translating the names into "thousand-mile eye" and "wind-catching ear." An explanation of their abilities in English could be clairvoyant deity and clairaudient deity.

I think it really means "catching" the sound that travels "with the wind." Also, the guy has big ears, which literally catch the wind, like the elephant ear. I find with-the-wind ear difficult to understand.
