Akami Waha! [2017] Commissioned artwork of my tiki original character "Akami Waha" By @cortoony of Cara / BlueSky / deviantART / FaceBook / Twitter / YouTube, a.k.a., Cort3d of Tumblr! =) 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" 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.
