Here's a fantasy take on a real creature: the Heikegani crab, which is also referred to as the Japanese Ghost Crab. According to Japanese folklore, Heikegani crabs contain the souls of fallen samurai warriors. The version I painted isn't dramatically different from the real thing but the suggestion of a face on the back of the actual crab has been reinforced into a monstrous, distorted face. Plus, this crab wields a knife!
I'm not sure why a crab needs a knife but hey, knives are useful...
Painted for Pathfinder Bestiary 5.
Hello my name is Daniel Vásquez. The Heikegani crab is my favorite animal in the world. I wanted to ask you if you would let me use your paint for my tattoo. I´ve searched for many designs but your is simply my favorite.
