Description Finally, after a veeeeeery long time I'm posting a picture again. So, yes, I am still alive

This is another Japan/China-inspired work like The Poppy Witch  and Daughter of Winter . This one shows my interpretation of the tengu-character from Japanese mythology - something lie a crow-demon living in the mountains. I think I'm going to name him Kuroki (from the Japanese word for the color black). All the details on Kuroki's red west are actually golden but my camera can't really capture the real color .

Done with Inktense pencils and watercolors (with a bit of white acrylic fine-liner here and there) on A3 watercolor paper.

Character and art belong to me

Your colors and use of white lines always is so mesmerizing and pretty Kuroki definitely looks like a proper and very handsome tengu - regal and mysterious both. He definitely looks noble, but not without a sense of playfulness - kind of like the corvids surrounding him. Lovely work as always!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like him . I was hoping for him to come out as mischievous as I imagined him and he did! 

Thank you for your lovely comment .
