The cook from Palakkad

This is my digital rendition of a cook from Palakkad, Kerala. His name is Mani Iyer. He is an orthodox brahmin cook who caters to all vegetarians. He is dexterous in cutting, steaming and decorating food in pure south Indian style. This character design is based on several persons I have met during my travels. I painted it using Mypaint. Comments are welcome.
