Description
Eastern demonic being; A bloodthirrsty cannnibal; They are often portrayed with multiple arms and giant fangs in their mouth. I pushed the concept further, making every one of their teeth giant, nail-like fang. I imagine large portion of their brain would be dedicated to motoric function, movving those multiple arms and coordinating them during six-sworded combat. Much lesser would be left for "higher" functions of the brain, therefore making Rakshasas very primitive and brutal.Also That's the concept of Oriental-influenced race for Slaughtermauch I was talking about. Hope you like it.

There's something about the arms and the way they're bent. Of course you make a lot of slithery creatures, so this is not much of a suprise

Very nice depiction. The small orbs in the head, are they eyes? If so, it gives it some arachnid look.

Rakshasa comes from Hindu mythology obviously; I don't know whether they are present in modern day religion however.

Much better than the D&D depiction which has seemed to have become the default, this guy is genuinely disturbing.

Ooo tak, swego czasu oglądało się "Ramajanę" i czytało o wschodniej mitologii, a Rakshasy bardzo rozpalają wyobraźnię - wcielenia absolutnego zła, okrutne, dziwaczne i odpychające w każdym calu.
I po raz kolejny rozwiązałeś problem w sposób genialny w swej prostocie - skojarzenie z pająkiem budzi u większości ludzie te same odczucia rodem z opisów tych maszkar

I remember in a Groovy Tube board game Monsters: the Hunt and the Capture, they are portrayed as looking like an evil version of Ganesh.

Quite frightening creature. Why do most people depict them with tiger-like features?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe because of Heroes of Might and Magic?They had reallly cool designs of lion/tiger headed ones.

Actually, I saw them first in an old "creature manual", apparently based on D&D.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see, this might be the source then. D&D is very influential.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I think it was D&D, it had beholders, rust monsters and other creatures from the game, but I'm not sure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. I think it not only introduced a lot of stuff but influenced how many people see legendary or mythical monsters today, like that annoying "wyverns are no dragons"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not only should Wyverns qualify as Dragons they're the only flying dragon even remotely biologically plausible.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
are they only ones plausible? I think any dragons apart from hexapodal ones are plausible.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, Flying dragons. I think flightless ones like Orms and Drakes are biologically plausible, too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aquuatic dragons as cetus aren't implausible either.
about the flying ones, don't forget the flying lizards.

Perhaps....I have no doubt ribs could evolve into flapping, wing-like structures. Whether or not they could support a large animal, however, is beyond me.

Now THAT is WICKED! Love it!
The concept that their intelligence has been sacrificed for combat efficiency is brilliant btw!

Being able to kick asses of at least six guys at once with ease has it's price XD
Will you draw your own version of it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I still plan some remakes of Greek creatures but I am mostly done with them.

Horror in the Heights!
Kolchack: The Night Stalker might have been one of the best written television shows of the 70's and had some really scary scenes..the monsters were a bit cheesy but its why they didn't show them full on most of the time lol.
The Cops are always the biggest assholes in this show!
