Description
*throws homework away*Eeeh this meme hit me in all the right places and gave me good food for thoughts ! *O* I chose to portray Sulukka as a Bai Ze (Hakutaku in japanese). It's a lion-like (or bull-like) beast with nine eyes and six horns - and clearly drawing these were the best part !
"In China the Baí Zé beast is usually portrayed with a lion-like shape, but when it was imported to Japan its image became slowly altered, first with horns and hooves and later with a bearded human face, an extra eye in the forehead and two horns and three eyes on each flank, leaving it with an auspicious nine eyes. This fortuitous image, representing a creature who removed the harm of evil spirits, became very popular as a good luck charm in the Edo Period. Today many representations the Hakutaku (the Baí Zé's Japanese name) remain, as protective amulets for travelers and against calamity and disease, as the guardian deities of medicinal shops, and as all manner of objects created in pursuit of a better fortune."[*]

Now this is one badass looking wiseman. The only downside I can see is how it makes me suffer for not making into the group when I could.

Holy crap, this is so amazing! I love it! Sulukka definitely looks very deity-like with the pose you gave him and the frank, straightforward stare (of his main eyes, at least, LOL). I also love the slightly tattered quality of the pants and the bandages~
