Baku Designs

I decided to go for a more traditional representation of the Baku, but I incorporated tapir elements int he markings - which I adore. Elephant head, lion's mane, tapir body, tiger legs, plus tail.
The girl - I've taken her face shape and high eyebrows from examples of Asian art. I will also give her a very light skin tone, as in Asian paintings. I also plan to give her a flowing night-dress, as a lot of Japanese and Chinese paintings depict flowing clothing and fabric in quite a distinct way.
