Saci Pererê - Forest

Personal project, character made for the contest Unhide School (Brazilian Mythology). Here I did this scene for the character
"The saci is a young black man with one leg, with a cap on his head that grants him magical powers. Originating in the indigenous tribes of southern Brazil, the legend of Saci-pererê has existed since the end of colonial times. African influence, he loses his leg fighting capoeira and acquires the habit of smoking the pito, that is, the pipe. "
The function of this "deity" was the control, wisdom, and handling of everything related to medicinal plants, as a guardian of the wisdoms and techniques for preparing and using tea, drinks and other medicines made from plants.
As his qualities were those of the pharmacopoeia, he was also given the domain of the woods where he kept these sacred herbs, and he used to confuse people who did not ask him for authorization to collect these herbs.
