thank you, i was hoping some one would comment on this one. i also like the wings the best, they turned out very well and the curl of the end feathers was just perfect. ^__^

Marvelous rendition of a karasu tengu! And here I thought I was the only person that drew japanese creatures! (I have yet to draw a tengu though) The face does not seem to have the characteristic long nose/beak as is usually illustrated, but the bird's face in the background seems to compensate for that nicely. The bodily regions where man becomes bird are flow and change smoothly and proportionately. Lighting and shading effects are simply outstanding. Excellent work! I hope to see more like this from you in the near future. As a suggestion for a future image, I would recommend illustrating a kappa.

yes, i know they are supposed to have a beak/long nose but it jsut did not fit well with the overall image, it is art and i am one who is known to bend the rules >:) i would draw a Kappa but i am not familiar with that creature, if you would describe it to me i could give it a whirl.
I LOVE the wings. The details are awesome. Pencil drawings are the best! ^.^
