SciFi and Fantasy Art: Ikaki sketches 1

Sketches from an ongoing assignment on the theme of Ritual. These are part of my sketches on Ikaki, a minor water spirit and a rather mischevious and grumbly type who loves to dance and eat humans. He is part of the ritual performance of the Kalabari in Nigeria. I haven't been able to find any pictures of him so these are all from my imagination. Painted a turtle's head (I have no idea what species) in Indian Ink and with a calligraphy pen, and then tried to evolve it into a more human head, one I thought would be more suitable for Ikaki, the 'Old Man'.
