Beasts :: Mythology as cultural Vortex

tomer :: this contribution to Beasts! 2 (published by Fantagraphics and edited by the unbreakable Jacob Covey), is re-imagining the Burmese Khimakha (an ogre in the style of the Tibetan yeti) through a contemporary lens, adding a 2nd act to the From God's Mountain series.



available as a limited edition print on Monomyth.

  1. This is awesome. I love seeing how each piece of inspiration/research has contributed to the final outcome. Also love the fading of the colour to show distance and the details in the beast's face.

  11. AMAZING. And that preliminary sketch is almost too hard to visually move on from, they are (no pun intended) two different beasts (the prelim. drawing and the final illustration). Respect on both.
