Description

I have NO idea where to put this, and sorry in advance for the long description:

SUBJECT: This is the legendary Heikegani, a Japanese mythical creature which is a crab with the face of a drowned warrior on its shell. I've been brushing up on Japanese mythology and this one I found really striking. (the speech bubble is the kanji version of Heikegani)

PROCESS: Ok so first I did the lineart in a thick fountain pen nib. Then I carved a stamp into a potato and stamped a separate piece of paper (process pics for that to come!). That stamp is in lower left corner, to the right of the triplet one. It means "White Chrysanthemum," because my name is Kiku which means chrysanthemum, but I am half white so....anyway. It was really fun to make the stamp! Anyway then I scanned them all and did some color (the rest of the stamps I found on Google).

ANYWAY sorry for all of that, I hope you guys are well!


The texture is awesome and it is by :icongild-a-stock: and is here: [link]
