    A Rakshasa demon manifested in a human body. Rakshasas, also known as man-eaters, are a race of mythological entities based in Hindu and Buddhist religion. Foul, evil creatures with an insatiable hunger for human flesh, they are notorious for possessing human beings. They are often depicted as fierce and primal looking, with two fangs protruding from the top of their mouth, having sharp claw-like fingernails,and growling like beasts. Source: Wikipedia

    Design notes: I wanted to show the relationship between the Rakshasa demon and a human being, and what happens when a manifestation occurs. I kept majority of the creature rooted in human anatomy and focused more cannibalistic elements on his mouth and areas around it.

      Almost Venom-like. Great job on this. I'd be interested in what your visual would be on the Wendigo (witiko, windigo) as it's legend is similar as the Rakshasa but more of a spiritual aspect to it.
