TITLE: Close Encounter of a Rare Kind (Umi bōzu)
Keyframe #1 : Close Encounter of a Rare Kind (Umi bōzu)
1st piece for the Feudal Japan - The Shogunate Keyframe Art challenge. The theme of my pieces revolves around Yokai in the old Feudal Japan period. AS a kid growing up reading encyclopedias I was right away fascinated the first time I saw a Yokai illustration, ever since I was hooked up with Japanese culture and tradition, it's myths and legends.
First Yokai is the Umi bōzu. More info about the Yokai here: http://yokai.com/umibouzu/
