RESTORE DEBRIS JAPAN Custom Contest: Prometheus Rising Studios Gikaku

Personally I think this is some of Ben's best work. I like the matte finish. Shading on the muscles looks good. All the extra details all character. A bit too much kanji? maybe...

This Oni was born blind and hornless, and named Gikaku (フェイク鬼- ‘false Oni’). He was too embarrassing to keep after waiting so long for his birth, so a prosthetic horn (義角) was fused to his head and he was cast out. Now, Gikaku travels alone, appearing only in place of a person being expected. To see Gikaku is a terrible curse, and he is greatly feared. The fundoshi reads ‘Great curse (dai-kyō, 大凶)’ and ‘待人 (machibito) – a person being waited for’, based on Omikuji fortune terms.
