Kumang Sarawak Folklore Character Design


Kumang I.

Sarawak Folklore Series (2013).


This character series is one of my earliest works when I was in Sarawak. At that time, Sarawak Folklore is new to me, and I find the characters are unique and interesting, hence why I decided to illustrate these characters based on my readings (mostly from Heidi Munan's books).

Here is Kumang, one of the most well-known legends in Iban folktales. She is described as the most beautiful of all Iban females, graceful, and a very skilled Pua weaver. Together with her husband Keling, they are role models to the Iban people in many generations.
