Ah, I love that story, and this captures it well. I don't know if this is just because it is realistic, but I always love a POP of vibrancy in pictures, that annoyed me a bit. ;)
The illustration is based on Japanese folklore about the Kappa monster, a trickster being with a dish like shell on its head containing its life water and should it spill then their muscles freeze. I used dynamic symmetry techniques to layout the composition.
P.S. If you would like a print you can get it here. http://www.zazzle.com/kappa_manners_poster-228095409638202947
