Bifang | The Classic of Mountains and Seas

My 11th illustration of 山海经(Classic of Mountains and Seas) - 毕方(Bìfāng) It looks like a crane, with one foot, red patterns, green body and white beak, often associated with fire and seen as an omen of inexplicable fires. The legend once said that the appearance of Bifang will indicate a strange fire, some other source said that the appearance of Bifang foreshadows a big fire. Bifang's name comes from the crackling sound made when bamboo and wood burn. It is the god of fire and wood, and lives in trees.
