Ibaloy Warrior

My illustration of a young warrior from the ibaloy tribe in the province of Benguet, Philippines.

A warrior who has stood amidst violence to fight for his tribe – to be their protector, to be their survivor, and to be their hero against evildoers and subjugators.

Weapons: Sumpit (blowgun) and Itak/machete (sword)
Done in photoshop.
