Hi guys! this is an old image. This time a japanese folk tale of Tamamo no Mae.

LET´S WIKIATTACK!!

Stories of Tamamo-no-Mae (玉藻前, 玉藻の前, also 玉藻御前) being a legendary fox spirit were written and collected in the Otogizōshi (companion tales) of the Muromachi period, and were also mentioned by Toriyama Sekien in Konjaku Hyakki Shūi. Edo period folklore then conflated the legend with similar foreign stories about fox spirits corrupting rulers, causing chaos in their territories.

In the story told by Hokusai, formed in the Edo period, the nine-tail fox first appeared in China and possessed Daji, concubine of Shang dynasty's last ruler King Zhou. She enchanted the king and brought upon a reign of terror that led to a rebellion that ended the Shang dynasty. The fox spirit fled to Magadha of Tianzhu (ancient India) and became Lady Kayō (華陽夫人), concubine of the crown prince Banzoku, causing him to cut off the heads of 1000 men. It was then defeated again, and fled the country. Around 780 BC, the same fox returned to China was said to have possessed Bao Si, concubine of the Zhou dynasty King You. It was again chased away by human military forces.  The fox stayed quiet for some period. Then she appeared in Japan as Tamamo-no-Mae, the most favoured courtesan of Emperor Toba. She was said to be a most beautiful and intelligent woman, being able to answer any question asked. She caused the Emperor to be extremely ill and was eventually exposed as a fox spirit by Abe no Yasuchika, who had been called to diagnose the cause of the Emperor's poor health. A few years later, the emperor sent Kazusa-no-suke (上総介) and Miura-no-suke (三浦介) to kill the fox in the plains of Nasu. Sessho-seki(Killing Stone) and Thousand Jizo Statues  In the 1653 Tamamo no sōshi (玉藻の草紙), an addendum was added to the story describing that the spirit of Tamamo-no-mae embedded itself into a stone called the Sessho-seki. The stone continually released poisonous gas, killing everything that touched it. The stone was said to have been destroyed in the Nanboku-chō period by the Buddhist monk Gennō Shinshō (源翁心昭), who exorcised the now-repentant fox spirit. He held a Buddhist memorial service after the deed, allowing the spirit to finally rest in peace.

So, unlike the Nasuverse version, she’s more like Carl from Lamas with hats. Particularly him in episode 3: he toppled an ENTIRE South American government (the people have spoken, Veva La Resistance!). And then he pushed the resistance leader into a giant fan (he was a traitor and a scoundrel). He was trying to stop Carl from pushing other people into the same giant fan.


Essentially she’s a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence by proxy. And the proxies are the highest ranking government officials she can get her hands/paws on.

More like this m.youtube.com/watch?v=49j6_uk0… (replace Carl with Tamamo and the other guy with some unfortunate sap that’s stuck as her roommate/person she drags along whenever she feels like having someone witness her carnage).

As well drawn as the character is, the jarring "floating on top of a stock photo background" brings me out of the illustration's immersion. For constructive criticism I would personally work on areas around the feet and legs to make sure the characters look grounded in the background; a cast shadow doesn't really do much if her feet still look like they're floating and don't match the actual angle of the ground.

Estudiando la historia de los kitsune japoneses, el huli jing chino y el kumiho coreano, tuve la oportunidad de leer sobre Tamamo no Mae.
Es un gran dibujo como siempre Gran diseño con la ropa, rojo color de la pasión y lujuria, un perfecto fondo y me gusta el detalle de la lámpara. Sigue así ^^

lmao if you ever played orochi 3 it the names are somewhat familiar and it makes some sense (story of game doesn't connect with folktale lore but it makes sense that Tamamo tricks Daji)

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a Monday night at 12:00 a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if you copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow.You will either get kissed or asked out, if you break this chain u will see a little dead girl in you
