Model the subject into thin metal sheet with raised and recessed relief, with hammer marks and chased lines kept, highlights controlled, never smooth chrome, like a gilded bronze temple plaque. Nezha, the young Chinese protector god, soaring upright on two spinning wind-fire wheels beneath his feet: a determined youthful warrior in lacquered armour with a silk ribbon streaming around him, a fire-tipped spear in one hand and a glowing gold ring in the other, a flame-edged sash, swirling clouds and tongues of flame rising through the tall frame, seen from far below.
Light: a warm firelight from the wheels striking the chased gold edges of the armour, ribbon and spear tip as bright highlights along the hammer marks while the recesses fall into deep umber and bronze-black; palette of gold, bronze, copper and umber with touches of vermilion enamel; heavy, dynamic, polished metalwork finish.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the figure rising through the height of the frame. A dignified, respectful depiction following traditional Chinese iconography, never comic; no readable Chinese characters, seals, inscriptions, letters or logos anywhere.
