Description
A baku is a creature of Japanese mythology, said to have the head of a lion, the body of a horse, the feet of a tiger, and the tail of a cow (which, incidentally, is alot like a lion's tail). Baku eat bad dreams and turn them into good fortune. I used photos of all the animals (save for the cow) in drawing this, and I actually really like how it turned out. Getting the tiger's thick paws onto the horses lean legs took a little re-working, but all in all wasn't too difficult. I decided to make it a silvery color due to it's affiliation with the night. I really wanna do a scene with a baku eating someone's dream, but it's gonna be quite some time before I have the skill for something like that.
The mane doesn't really look like I wanted it too, but I couldn't get it right with my mouse. Some day in the distant future, when I can afford a tablet, I'll re-do that part.
The bg image is of a lotus flower; I found it via a Google image search, here:
