they were originally a breeding pair of mine and im finally replacing them with some neat g1s

I blame fully Samuli Putro's song "Tanssija" which is a cover of the "Maniac" song. While both have the same idea, on the cover he sings, "She is dancer, dancer" instead maniac. The song's chorus kept repeating inside of my mind in the nonstop loop, which gave inspiration to this gift artwork. Not to mention, when I was planning this artwork, I decided to draw my OC Mazu, because she is an extremely good dancer. I also felt like drawing her once again.
I tried to go a bit mystical and ethereal direction with this artwork, with the midnight background and water floor. Because of that, I also made Mazu's eyes half-lidded, like she was fully absorbed in her dance.
What do you think? Does she look like mystical dancer or sort of?

Note: I’m fine with reblogging, but ask me first for my permission, if you want to repost my artwork.

Goddess mazu why some people consider her to be a bodhisattva ?
Māzǔ 妈祖 is not considered a bodhisattva, as far as I'm aware.
There are legends that she received both Taoist and Buddhist teachings during her human life as Lín Mòniáng 林默娘 as both religions were present in China at this time, but officially she is a Taoist goddess and a deified ancestor. That means she was born as a human who ascended to godhood after death (her name Mazu literally means 'mother ancestor').
She is also known as the Queen of Heaven (tiān hòu 天后) and is said to have performed miracles during her human life as a Fujian shaman, including spirit travel, telling the future, changing the weather, healing the sick, etc (typical shaman things, really).
Bodhisattvas are strictly Buddhist divinities who are god-level and enlightened but have taken a vow not to enter Nirvana / become a Buddha until all other sentient beings are liberated and free from suffering. The bodhisattva vows are what define them, and Mazu is not recorded as having taken these vows.

Mazu statue stops to watch a puppet show during 2023 Pilgrimage
The Baishatun Mazu Pilgrimage is usually held annually between lunar January and April in the western plains of Taiwan, a major Taoist religious event since 1863.
After every lunar new year, the Mazu statue of Gongtian Temple (Chinese: 拱天宮; pinyin: Gǒng tiāngōng) at Baishatun, Tongxiao of Miaoli County, is placed in a palanquin and carried in procession to visit another Mazu Temple- Chaotian Temple (Chinese: 朝天宮; pinyin: Cháo tiāngōng), located in the area of Beigang of Yunlin County, then returns to Gongtian Temple to end this pilgrimage. The distance covered is approximately 400 km total.
