Original Cryptid: Ostesimaw

Share

My entry for @arvalis Original Cryptid contest. 


This is the Ostesimâw. His name in Cree means "Eldest Brother". A creature born of tragedy and vengeance, he is the guardian of the spirits of the victims of the residential schools. He is friendly towards children, playing games and making gifts for them. But to Christians beware, he will be hostile and reveal the horror that's under the deer hide he wears.

Here's the sketch study

And a comparison of how he looks depending on your POV

Sick as fuck and I'm glad you're doing something using something as dark as residential schools to create something nice for the lost souls of them.

Good job

Hello? Ghostbusters? I'm calling 'bout a creature surrounded by ghost kids.
