The previous post reminded me of the magical Wayang Kulit shows I watched as a child, in the brief years I lived in KL. I'm sad that it has been less prevalent in recent years and grateful to the artists fighting to keep the art alive. #wayangkulit

Submitted for the ilustra.see competition last year. This was an experiment on depicting Paleontology with Wayang kulit, a traditional shadow puppet art form from my country. Here a scene reminiscent of my City, Surabaya's founding myth is depicted, but instead of a shark fighting a crocodile, it is a Permian Spiny shark fighting an early armored sea reptile. Surrounding them are brachiopods, tabulate corals, and horn corals found throughout Permian strata in Java and Timor, while the Gunungans in the back have a simple wavy pattern to indicate the scene is taking place underwater. The wayang cutouts are drawn in Photoshop, imported as transparent PNG objects in Blender and rendered in Cycles to achieve the shadow puppet look
Wayang purbakala
The iconic myth from my hometown (a shark fighting a crocodile) depicted as Javanese wayang shadow puppets of Permian animals.

What moves behind the screen isn’t just art.
It’s years of skill and history.
Wayang puppets aren’t just seen, they’re remembered.
