Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Dark

Wendigo is a malevolent cannibalistic spirit into which humans could transform, or which could possess humans, and those who indulged in cannibalism were at particular risk. They were strongly associated with the Winter, the North, and coldness, as well as with famine and starvation. At the same time, Wendigos were embodiments of gluttony, greed, and excess; never satisfied after killing and consuming one person, they were constantly searching for new victims. Wendigo gave off a strange and eerie odor of decay and decomposition, of death and corruption.

Excellent artwork.

Modern fantasy has sort of made the wendigo into some kind of yeti-like being, when nothing from the original version of the wendigo represents that. Good to know some still realize the original version.
