I'm not aware of wings, just that I feel like I'm swimming in the air and people are down below watching me
I will try to make this better but keep in mind that my eyes are not working properly lately, the majority of the time

Looks good, we have several blue jays around this part of the country! but I know after watching a hawk attack one, there not friends. The hawk held it down and plucked its feathers, then ate it.

the first version, before you went bonkers, looked a lot like the kind of thing that Matisse guy did.
emmamommalag (Dec 23, 2007)
A lot of Matisse's stuff would likely get dumped on here, too.

Contest Week 67: Flight
Shanghai (edited Dec 22, 2007)
Contest Week 67: Flight closed for judging Your goal here will be to express the idea of flight. In fact, you could say I'd like for you to let your imaginations take flight. I'm hoping for a lot of creativity here because the word "flight" has just so many possible meanings, ways of being expressed, etc. From the dreams of ancient people to the realities of today and the designs for the future, flight is often a strangely natural and familiar concept for we flightless creatures who h...

Sometimes at night a heron will be seen with its eyes burning and its white feathers glowing with a supernatural light. From a distance, the bird appears like a fireball.

I like birds

The kitsune- A multi-tailed fox of japanese folklore. Wiki

--The Trickery of Kitsune--
There once was a Kitsune that fell in love with a man- and so she took on the form of a human so that she could marry him. As time went by the two of them married and had a child. But the child was not Kitsune nor human! It was a mix between both and had no powers to switch between forms. The husband was of course shocked and so the wife had to finally tell him the truth.. So she took him out to the forests so that nobody could hear them. "I'm a Kitsune," she confessed as she returned to her foxy form. The husband was still shocked, but since he loved his wife so, he forgave her for lying and promissed not to tell of her secret. Eventually though, the people found out about their half kitsune, half human child and thought it to be evil. One night, the wife went out into the forests to collect fire wood and returned to find that her house was set on fire. Her child and husband were both killed. In anger and pain, the kitsune screamed- vowing to seek revenge.. To be continued? *shrug*

There's a certain feel of colored pencil here that really appeals to me. I especially like the way the snout looks like it has real form to it.

Congrats on Third place!

?Gy?ki

also known as: Ushi-oni, Uwajima-no-ushi-oni

The gy?ki of Shikoku seems to share some common origin with the great ushi-oni that lurks in the Sea of Japan. Their names are written with the same characters and are in fact completely interchangeable, and aside from that they share a ferocious nature, a tendency to lurk in deep water, a horned head like a fantastic, demonic ox, and a connection to apparitions of women. But the gy?ki is usually conceived of as having a more wholly bovine shape, and prefers to live in fresh water, especially the deep pools underneath waterfalls. While it loves raw meat and has been known to devour men and livestock, it seems to have a slightly less bloodthirsty nature than its saltwater cousin, and in festivals sometimes even takes on a protective function, said to ferociously drive away more malicious spirits.

Congratulations, Gyuuki is awarded first place for Contest Week 64: Youkai
Even though the style you used is very loose there's also a lot of sophistication here. This can especially be seen in the woman's face, which has a high level of detail with being overworked or out of place. Her pose next to this monstrous creature is so perfectly relaxed that even without her horns we might suspect her to be something other than human herself. I also appriciate your ability to use a varied color palette with reds, yellows, blues, greens, and even pitch black together in one composition.

Congrats on the win Mai!

It's really cool. Words can't describe its infinite coolness. D:

Just curious, does this legend mention anything about this chick apparently having two left elbows?

Contest Week 64: Youkai
Shanghai (edited Nov 10, 2007)
Contest Week 64: Youkai closed for judging Halloween is going to come while this contest is running, so I thought we could try a theme of monsters but with one extra detail. Youkai (or y?kai, depending how you like to spell it) are basically the monsters of Japanese folklore and legends. There's a rich history of stories about youkai and a huge range of them; supposedly 11,520 types. Your goal these next two weeks is to illustrate a youkai, any youkai you can find in the links I'll giv...
