The Wendigo

After reading Pet Sematary by Stephen King I was inspired to do my own interpretation of a wendigo. It's mentioned like once in the 2019 Pet Sematary film, but has a bigger presence in the books. I've always thought wendigos were interesting to begin with, so I just got even more inspired to draw one. For those of you who don't know, a wendigo is from Native American lore. Most say if you eat another human you become cursed for doing something so taboo and you become a wendigo, cursed to turn into this emaciated looking supernatural monster that is always craving flesh and never satisfied. They are truly monsters of gluttony and greed. Most artist draw them as emaciated looking humans with either antlers or a deer skull for a head. I love the concept-but for my design I wanted something different and more gruesome. So I came up with the idea of what if the human- after consuming human flesh- transformed painfully and horrifically into this monster?
