Description Red rain is falling down, red rain
Red rain is falling down, falling down all over me...

After a red rain, in a red forest, walks the wendigo. Human standards do not apply to him.

My first exchange for
Ohhh, did I ever have lots of fun with this. My very first exchange and I got the opportunity to draw someone else's wendigo character - *PatiLee 's Cyrus, to be precise. Thankyou for entering Cyrus into the exchange, *PatiLee ! He is wonderful and I truly hope you like my depiction of him.

He is both like and utterly unlike my own wendigo character, Riven, and I was just so delighted to be able to draw him I motored from initial pose sketch to full A4 watercolour within 24 hours (miracle).

Anyway. The exchange theme was colour, and *PatiLee wanted to see "bloody red and tone of his skin (in wendigo form)". Working within a limited palette was actually brilliant. I recommend it to anyone.

Watercolour paints over graphite lines, with graphite detailing.

Whoa, I really like how the composition of the background draws the viewer's eye toward the creepy face. You've managed to convey an unnerving tone with bright colors, which is hard to do. Nice work!

Awesome and terrifying! Β This one belongs in the same box as your giant arachnid monsters!

I’m not gonna say I like it... That wouldn’t be true, because I love it! Thank you very much!
And I’m also happy to know that you had fun drawing my character.

Yay! I'm so very happy you like it. Cyrus is a lot of fun, his human simulation would have been good to draw too, but the beautiful simplicity of his wendigo design was irresistable.

Oh man, I LOVE the composition. I have such a weak spot for symmetrical pictures, you don't even knoooow.

You did a wonderful job with the limited color palette too! Red+white = awesome.

Thankyou very much! I just really went to town on this one - I was looking forward to having a go at it all Friday while I was at work and the sketches all came together without too much huffing and swearing (always a good sign)
