Akamu is my hair growth idol... had to cut mine because of some job interview (now on permanent disability), planning on growing my hair to the floor like Akamu's, but it will be solid raven black and possibly wavy or curly

He's my hair growth idol too. Mine is pretty long but not as much as Akamu of course. Though my hair is long enough to sit on it.
I really love long hair, I find it so beautiful !

Oh my oh my you were so quick with it!! The scary part is, this looks EXACTLY like the picture I had in mind when I typed my previous comment Also the rest of him beside the braid is such a beautiful and harmonic character design, everythin really suits him so much! ^-^ I love his story and his name too! It's always specially wonderful to read about how the characters started to practice this kind of art and all kinds of medical details are also always very interesting to read, haha!
I love how he started with a piece of cloth, I was thinking along the same line for my village Hudja where the majority of children practice waist cinching (in the past because of poor harvest waist cinching helped people to feel less hungry, now they practice it just because it's become an old custom and it's considered beautiful in their village), they mostly wouldn't wear any hard belts that could leave bruises but would use something soft, even a silk ribbon tightly wrapped around the waist in multiple layers. So it's nice we thought along the same lines here :3
Also at first his stance made me think of Shaolin for some reason, but reading that he's with Buddhist monks now I'm not surprised haha. Now the pose reminds me a bit of the sleeping Buddha except he's standing, lol. Sorry if it doesn't make sense, my head is full of random rubbish X3 It's great you translated such a long text into english, I really loved reading it and I'm sure google's translator wouldn't make it justice X3 Back to the character, he's so wonderful really! Sometime when he's very very old he wouldn't even need clothes, he could just make a sweater out of his own braid :>

I think you did an awesome job! I really love this drawing every time I see it! He's such a great character and it's one of the most beautiful ways to waist-cinch.
As for a possible picture showing him "dressed" in his own hair, I just had in mind a picture of him standing about thigh-deep in water to wash himself and his hair would be straight and falling down into water while he's brushing it or something. So e.g. the left half of his body would be covered ("censored") with hair and the right half would be naked or something like that, showing his beautiful skin ^^ So it could be a way to show how much his long hair can cover him without turning him into a haystack, lol.
Anyways I really love how you draw waist-cinching and contortion, you're a rare artist who can draw them without making them look like it would hurt, quite the contrary the more extreme the more pleasant and exciting it looks! Maybe because more extreme tricks make the character's body look much softer and that's what makes it so appealing ^^

This is so beautiful, strange, but beautiful; I especially love his pose, it's very seductive!
