Traditional Red OniWikipedia
Oni (鬼?) are creatures from Japanese folklore, variously translated as demons, devils, ogres or trolls. They are popular characters in Japanese art, literature and theatre.
Depictions of oni vary widely but usually portray them as hideous, gigantic, creatures with sharp claws, wild hair, and two long horns growing from their heads. They are humanoid for the most part, but occasionally, they are shown with unnatural features such as odd numbers of eyes or extra fingers and toes. Their skin may be any number of colors, but red and blue are particularly common.
They are often depicted wearing tiger-skin loincloths and carrying iron clubs, called kanabō (金棒?). This image leads to the expression "oni with an iron club" (鬼に金棒, oni-ni-kanabō?), that is, to be invincible or undefeatable. It can also be used in the sense of "strong beyond strong", or having one's natural quality enhanced or supplemented by the use of some tool.
At first I was thinking having the front and hind feet not match would be fun. That idea has since been vetoed in preference for matching hooves. The image included in this post is a vague colored concept doodle.
Note: I sketched this out away from the computer so I didn't have any refs for what wini look like exactly.
sweatdrop Behold how emo only comprehends that they are 3 eyed quadrupeds.
Name:Cacophony
Gender:Male
Stage:Adult or Elder (Elder is prefered but whatever I can get really)
Lineart: (normal, koi, slug, horn/tail preferences etc)
Standard winiko with the cloven goat-like or single toed horse-like hooves. This is up to the colorist.
I'm still uncertain what the best horns would be.
Colors:Red skin, black hair, light cream horns, black hooves, green eyes.
Edits:Custom tail: What is an oni without a club? Nothing I tell you. This winiko needs a long thick tail that ends in some sort of club like that of an Ankylosaurus (the tail needs to be thicker to support the additional weight of the club and to be able to move it in a natural easy manner). In appearance it should either look like a cluster of horns similar to the ones on his head or of a
Kanabo. -
((Important note: The design design part of it completely is up to the colorist since this is a tricky request. As long as it is long enough to thump on the floor and bash into things in a functional "I'm going to use this darn thing" kind of way I'll be super ohmygod happy.))Additional horn: A bit above the 3rd eye, a unicorn type location and use. Half the length of the 2 normal horns.
Items:Yellow tiger fur toga or loincloth of some sort, how much fur is used and the style is up to the colorist. The concept sketch is an example of standard stripe to yellow density.
Ref Pics:See the right of the post. I'll try to collect some random art of them in a bit.
