Shiro-Uneri [Tsukumogami] An old tattered Rag abandoned for decades to ferment in a bucket. Eventually it sprang to life, twisting itself into the shape of a tiny dragon, it undulates through the night skies, wrapping its rancid slimy body around peoples faces! - samkalensky.com/products/shi...

Eritate-Goromo - [Yokai | Tsukumogami] - The high collared Kimono of the profoundly prideful Tengu King, Sōjōbō of Mt Kurama. After decades of being worn by such a powerful yokai, the robes sprung to life. Perhaps they are just prideful as the Tengu who wore them... samkalensky.com/products/eri...

Reposting a WIP from my main account
Btw anyone else ever get a kind of “fight or flight” feeling from looking at their own while drawing it? Like, “Wow, this is looking really great! …I hate the way she’s looking at me….”

I’m working on the thumbnail for my Japanese Urban Legend YouTube playlist. I was going to draw a bunch of different characters but then I saw an unfinished Kuchisake Onna I had and thought “That could work”

Some of you might be wondering what kind of yokai you’ll encounter in Ookami Okami 👀
If you’ve played our VN Kohana before, you might recognize these three spirits... they'll be making a grand return! 👻✨

The 25 Bakezōri reward figures are finally complete! The acrylic keychains have also arrived — now I’m just waiting for the books and postcards to come back from the printer. Starting next week, I’ll begin packing preparations like wrapping and addressing. Just a little more to go — I’ll do my best!

In Japanese theater, kijo are women transformed into demons by jealousy and pain, anger and sadness. This is represented by a mask called a Hannya, and may not always represent a literal transformation but a metaphysical one. #WyrdWednesday

Saving this image in case I need visual reference. I remember drawing a folktale about a boar hunter back when I barely knew anything about Japan and defaulted to a guy in a regular kimono with a bow and arrow.
