Description
This is my rendition of a tengu, a type of Japanese forest spirit, done in the style of a woodblock print. The writing is actually my name in scribbly Chinese, it's really only there for aesthetic value. Drawn, colored and rendered in photoshop, including the patterns.Related content

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This picture is all over the internet and I have literally been searching hours for its source... I was quite surprised to realize it's contemporary art because it looks a lot like a historical woodblock print!Β

If the creature is Japanese why sign your name in Chinese? Great work though.

i really like this and the Qilin. i like the old art pieces that are still around of Japanese monsters and myths, as well as Sumerian, Egyptian, and other ancient cultures. i love that you are using the style in modern fashion.... well done.

wow really cool! i love the backgound pattern, it really has the eastern/asian feel to it! the patterns on the clothing are really good too
maybe one of the fabrics could have been plainer just to let the other patterns come out a bit
a really cool image
well done!

Makes a very convincing woodblock print. Japanese mythology greatly interests me.

There are different kinds of tengus, that is one of them. Tengu are basically goblins, and they come in different forms.
Thanks!

Gorrem,Your Yamabushi Tengu is very good.
I love everything about it! Have you ever thought about doing another one of a Karasu Tengu in the same style?

I did some tengu paintings about when I was in art school. Yours are much better.
