After I fixed up the broken Soom Sphaler hands I had, I decided to try them on Primrose for SnGs since it looked like they'd fit. The resin match isn't perfect, but she might keep them--I'm a sucker for over-sized hands.

Hands are Soom Sphaler hands
Processed (from not much to way overboard) image I took several years ago of a toy I bought in Japan of a lantern with a human face (and big mouth). This image was run through a topography filter.

One of the seven Yokai. Udipus Lucra is the Yokai of Creativity. He is the patron of artists, businessmen and the insane. He likes riddles, and now and then he makes a deal with mortals, often resulting in him getting better. He holds the Key to Enlightment. Anyone who's given this key, called an Enlightened, goes insane.

Image from Hyakkai Zukan by Sawaki Suushi of a nure-onna, a yokai with the head of a woman and body of a snake and is 300 meters long.

Here are a few examples of creatures from Japanese folklore. The illustrations are from Hokusai's Manga Vol. 3. I appreciate Hokusai's art for its dynamic qualities, something shared with Mignola's work. Here we have a "Rokuro-kubi." Also appearing as normal humans during the day, they go to great lengths to disguise their true forms. Though their innate urge to scare humans often wins out in the end.
So since it's freezing in my house and too cold to go do proper work in my basement studio, i decided to start my idea to make a series of yokai ( japanese style monster) drawings since i can do this from the comfort of my warm bed. I'm going to offer them as prints and print on demand t-shirts..nothing fancy. Started reading a book about yokai and felt like drawing some.
He will be colored with simple flat tones though hopefully it won't look like im swiping Chasmosaur's shit too much!
This is a tengu, a race of mountain goblins that are usually depicted wearing priests' garments. They are more commonly known by the red face/long nose variety but there are bird faced ones like this dude. For more info on them check out:

The shape-shifter. From Yokai Attack!:
No discussion of the tanuki would be complete without a mention of their extraordinary testicles. Totally flexible, extensible, and mobile, they are a potent tool in the Tanuki's bag of shape-shifting tricks. Tanuki use their testicles as makeshift raincoats and drums, weapons and even as a disguise to impersonate other creatures and yokai (demons, spirits). Some accounts claim they can be extended into a sheet some eight tatami mats in size - more than 130 square feet (12 square meters). That's a whole lot of scrotum.
In fact, there is even a famous children's rhyme (set, incongruously enough to the tune of the Baptist hymn "Shall We Gather at the River?") that goes:
Tan Tan Tanuki
no kintama wa
Kaze mo nai no ni,
Bura Bura
(The Tanuki's testicles
swing-swing even
without any breeze).
Tanuki, despite being shape-shifters and mischievous, are considered good luck.
