I decided to start a new interesting challenge! #creatuanary

Kapre's eyes in the night

Day 15 of Creatuanuary 2020 The Kapre is a philippine mythical creature. It was quite jarring imagining how to depict it. It is a tree spirit, but it is itself a giant. Also, he smokes, which seems counterproductive for a tree spirit. Doesn't it fear burning itself? They are very muscular (some sources say kinda like a gorilla) and very hairy. Also they have a strong smell that attracts human attention... This is getting kinda fetishy. Also also, they were inspired by African people, so his skin had to be dark. I mixed his hair with leaves and parts of his skin are like tree bark. His insides are full of flames, making it a spirit of trees and fire. They can be pranksters, but they are not evil. They can even befriend humans. Sometimes, at night, you can see a pair of glaring red eyes looking at you from a very big and ancient tree.

Ammut

Day 10 of Creatuanuary 2020. Ammut is an egpyptian creature that devours the hearts of those Anubis deems unworthy of the afterlife. So, I imagined Ammut as a black hole in which souls are forever lost. This was made with black pencil on a white paper, and then inverted the colors.
