Commissioned Artwork of my Tiki original character "Akami Waha" By Adrian Amarteifio, a.k.a., DrakArts of BlueSky / InstaGram / Twitter And Drak-Arts of deviantART! =)
My initial idea for Akami Waha's design dates way back to primary school, based off of a papier-mâché mask that I made back then [and that I still have].
My final Akami Waha design concept sketch [which is posted in my "Media" tab here =) ] was influenced by tikis, totem poles, the comedy mask / the tragedy mask, golems, Pinocchio, and the Tasmanian Devil.
Akami Waha is imbued with a supernatural volcanic power of pyrokinesis that he creates/shoots through his hands.
Akami Waha also wields and sometimes surfs upon his leiomano [a Koa wood-carved, shark-tooth-stringed, and rooster-feathered weapon]. His leiomano is enlarged to surfboard size via magic.
Akami Waha was created by a sorcerer who carved him and then used magic to bring him to life.

This is my 2022 iPad Pro Procreate / MicroSoft Paint drawing attempt at a redesign of my previously posted 2016 Akami Waha concept sketch.
