Basajaun - The Teacher or the Man of the Forest

I’m looking to join in with this challenge

Ever since I watched the Baztan trilogy I love the idea of a yeti/big foot/sasquatch who protects people in the forest and teaching humans how to herd and forge weapons I’m using this idea to look at doing the archetype of the teacher/man of the wood/man of the forest.

I’ve drawn a picture and am wanting to do an uber stylised version similar to the art of Johannes Helgeson (who I love)

I’ve drawn a basic idea except this has human hands in the end I wanna use koala hands cos they look real weird

Look how bloody weird that is

Much love

Made some changes to the head !

Thought of making his left arm a tree prosthetic with rocks, trying to keep away from metal only want to use it sparingly on the model, as I want the metal to be hexagonal pieces of metal

Done most of the body now
