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

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.

Don't really like 1.4. Do like 1.1 and 1.5.

Save for 1.3, all are potentially OK for me.

[up]I like the first, third, and fourth. Probably more than the previous suggestions.

8.4 is nice too. Have same issue with 8.2 as with 1.3.

8.1 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.

[up][up] Crowner's hooked, and I fixed the 8.3 link.

One 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.

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
