Description
I've drawn an Oni in my own style. Just to hone my Photoshop skills.To those who don't know what's an Oni, here it is.
(Deep inhale)
Oni are creatures from Japanese folklore, variously translated as demons, devils, ogres or trolls.
Depictions of oni vary widely but usually portray them as hideous, gigantic creatures with sharp claws, wild hair, and two long horns growing from their heads. They are humanoid for the most part, but occasionally, they are shown with unnatural features such as odd numbers of eyes or extra fingers and toes. Their skin may be any number of colors, but red and blue are particularly common.
I chose red.
They are often depicted wearing tiger-skin loincloths and carrying iron clubs, called kanabō.
To those who don't understand what's "鬼の攻撃" means, it means Attack of the Oni.
Pretty neat, huh!

Thank you for translating the writing, I don’t speak Japanese. (I know about a half dozen words.)
And now, let’s speak about the picture.
First impression: I find the modest but well-shaped outlines coherent here.
All the colors are fine. The demon is appropriately fearful. His facial expression is frightening and funny at the same time. It suits to the whole atmosphere of the image.
I can mention only one single flaw. The background pattern with those paper texture looks a little blurred. I suggest to replace it with a higher dpi version, or just clear it and leave the lone and simple light brown color.
