Clearly I've watched too much Ancient Magus Bride (a really great anime series) because looking at this amazing piece of art is making me think of the flashback scene with Lindell (Echoes Mage and caretaker of the last dragon sanctuary which is located somewhere in Iceland) when he first meets Elias Ainsworth (back before the "boneheaded" Thorn Mage started dressing like some fancy aristocrat) I swear Elias looked just like this wendigo in that scene: tall, thin, pitch-black humanoid creature with long arms, thick fluff (most likely fur but could also be feathers) covering the neck and/or shoulders and a horned animal skull for a head. Just silently staring as it slowly walks forward, it's form partially obscured by the wind and snow until suddenly it's standing right in front of you! - except Elias has curly gazelle-like horns without any prongs as opposed to the branching horns of a deer/elk/moose usually seen on wendigos.


Aside from that this wendigo could almost be mistaken for a young Elias Ainsworth...


Hmmm... maybe they're cousins or something.
