Tengu
Tengu is a Japanese mythological creature usually attributed with shape shifting abilities and general trickery/ I thought it would be a lovely creature to draw with all the feathers flying around and supernatural whizz effects I could add to it.
You can download in super high resolution for free as a desktop wallpaper here:

The artwork began life as a random pen sketch in my notebook. I just wanted to test out my new pigment fineliners to see how thin I could draw the barbs in the feathers:
I asked my buddy over at Scramble, who design all sorts of cool Japanese themed apparel, for some words in kanji, and voila, lots of inking up with pens, a bit of Photoshop trickery and there you have it, Tengu!

currently using this image as my wall paper and it looks awesome. Ever think of uploading more art to be used as digital wallpaper for more self promotion? I think a lot of people in the BJJ community would use them! keep up the great work!
