Description

Can be found here on tumblr!



"Some think "Wendigo" describes a lonely man-beast who lives in the forest waiting to feast on human flesh, while the "Windigo" is a cannibalistic spirit that possesses humans. Both concepts originate from Native American folklore and have ties to cannibalism."



Made with technical pens on A4 paper
210 × 297mm / 8.3 × 11.7 inches

Part of a project for university - we were supposed to come up with our own idea and make a series of drawings. I've been fond of cryptozoology for a while, thus I decided on the cryptids. They were part of an end-year exibition in my school and so far are ones of the few drawings I'm really proud of c: Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

This is one of the best works I've ever seen done with pens. The artwork is beautiful, interesting, uniqueThe background fits amazingly into the picture without taking attention away from the main subject but still tying in so perfectly that it adds an even greater depth to the artwork and the representation of the idea. The detail and technique of the pens is so beautiful and no mistakes are visible, the colours coincide with the lines and idea basis so well that the artwork looks flawless. It stands out among all others and while it not only brings a sense of astonishment to its viewers it brings a sense of inspiration.
