They Used to Bowby `hibbary

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

I decided to make a few pieces for Acen over the next week. The trouble is, I don't feel like making anime. I'm mad for mythology, and so that's what you're getting.

Info about the kappa can be found here [link] Have a look! Especially before you ask me questions. I don't mind answering questions, but I don't like to answer the same ones over and over especially when there's already lovely info already available.

Whut a DD, you guys are so awesome! 8D

They Used to Bow by *hibbary. A great example that portrays mythology and a sad truth that's a worldwide problem. Short description to let you think about it... ( Suggested by ~CrimsonGriffin and Featured by `skifi )

An absolutely amazing piece. Have never seen the Kappa portrayed in such a manner as to make one instantly attach and relate to it. Your varied artistic talents aside, you tell an amazing story with your art, and that is extremely impressive.

This piece really made my heart fall. It's so sad what people do to the environment now.
I like how you connected the mythology of the past with the stark reality of today, it really brings the message home.
