My entry for the Beautiful Grim art auction charity

The Tickbalang is an enchanted creature from Filipino folk-lore. I remember my uncles telling me stories about them  and  I remember being soo scared, but I still wanted to hear more.

    Just a little clarification from a Filipino. Tikbalangs are essentially humanoid horses. :)

    But great take on a local folk creature. I like.

    Nice work. A friend told me about the tickbalang just a few months ago... apparently he likes to sit in trees and smoke cigars and smells truly awful... I like your take on this interesting folk tale creature :)

      I believe your friend was talking about the Kapre , he smokes cigars , he is a spindly giant that lives on a balete trees or any tree... balete just look cooler :)
