shadow integrations?
Hand shadow puppetry relies strongly on powerful hand silhouettes to create strinking shape imagery to establish creature likeness and make a puppet show. Silhouettes would also greatly reduce the actual number of individual hands I'd have to draw on the peacock

Inspiration from

Abstraction: water plays a huge part of Dai culture, celebrating the Water Splashing festival every year, it is said to wish luck on growing fruitful crops. The peacock dance focuses on embodying the behaviour of a peacock via fluid movements of the arms and shoulders. This image in particular is based on the famous Dai dance "Spirit of the Peacock"

Synthesis
Abstraction + Modeling
A series of conflicting elements coming together to form a sort of cacophonic harmony of humanity, music, art, patterns, symbols, visions, love, etc.
