For some reason, I really dislike the Animetized version of the creatures, so I'd stick with the more traditional ones.
That said, my favorite is 1.4
I would personally toss out 3 (since it's hard to see the features on the low-contrast stone) and 8, 10, and 11 since they presumably deviate from the traditional tengu look. Another option to consider would be to select a few as members of a collage. The page notes that there are depictions of more birdlike ones and the long-nosed red-skinned ones.
I do like 1.4 and 1.5 since 1.5 acknowledges both types by giving the tengu a tengu mask.

"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard Cohen1.4 or 1.5 for me.
Don't really like 1.4. Do like 1.1 and 1.5.
Check out my fanfiction!Save for 1.3, all are potentially OK for me.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI'll add a vote for 1.5.
http://www.mansionofe.comI like the first, third, and fourth. Probably more than the previous suggestions.
Check out my fanfiction!8.4 is nice too. Have same issue with 8.2 as with 1.3.
"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard Cohen8.1 is really good. I think I'll change my preference.
That said, should we go ahead and crowner it?
Voting for 1.5 > 8.4 > 8.3

Made a crowner; didn't add all the suggestions as I ran out of strength midway through.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman^ The 8.3 link is broken
Crowner's hooked, and I fixed the 8.3 link.

Pre-weekend votes bump.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanOne more bump; there's a lot of options that are close vote- and ratio-wise.
Time to call this one. The new pic's up and tagged and the artist info's added, and I've added the pics that weren't already on the Image Links page to that list. Caption or no?
I was thinking of something involving the broom but didn't find anything good.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman"Ruffle his feathers at your peril."?
No consensus on a caption; locking up.

No shortage of pictures of tengu, but they are all rather different. I'm not sure which style to pick as the main one.
