Oni/Hannya/Tengu Mask with Peony and Maple

After the previous Tengu and Hannya piece that i created i wanted to complete an image that contained the wind bars and clouds that appear on irezumi, this image is the first in a line of irezumi pieces that i hope to design. Created using a brush and ink drawing from the sketchbook and finished in digital colours.

Karasu Tengu

Karasu Tengu created using a brush and ink drawing from the sketchbook and finished with digital colours, i really wanted to go with some detail on the wings colour wise basing it on a brown eagles colour scheme, also tried to stick to traditional colours with advice from a friend!
