Description
Iso-onna (磯女): Iso-onna is a native yokai of Kyuushuu, mostly found near coasts or rocky beaches, and is considered as dangerous vampiric yokai. She has the upper part of attractive beautiful woman with long black matted hair in thin transparent robe or being naked and the ghost-liked (blurred or almost transparent) lower part. Similar to another relative yokai in the same area, Nure-onna (濡女), She feeds on human's blood and appears often on New Year Eve or during Obon. Even though she has inhuman strength, she prefers to use her appearance to lure victim into the sea and uses her hair to drain blood. Sometime she works together with Ushi-oni or Gyuuki (牛鬼) which also lives in the same area to trap human.(From WMA-019-磯女)

Chillingly scary, but at the same time, so beautiful and alluring...!
Her stunning looks and black glossy hair keeps one from noticing her predatory stare and corpse-like paleness (and probably to fall vitim to her...!)!
The effect of the falling and splashing water makes the atmosphere impeccable, and this piece so outstanding!

Thank you very much! XD
Drawing some ghostly with chilling vibe is my favorite thing to do after all. I'm really glad that you like this artwork!
Anyway, wish you have a wonderful Children's Day in Japan and also a nice weekend!

That's probably why your style matches the theme to the point of perfection!
Thank you once again, and I do hope you have a great weekend!
I really hope I could share with you some 'kashiwa mochi' (a traditional children's day treat, as you'd probably know)!

This is beautiful, but is this creature like a mermaid?
Becasue from the story I understand she likes water.
Anyway this is very pretty art, my friend! ^^

Thank you very much, my friend!
Umm...Nope. She is more like water spirit/monster. Japan also has mermaid but looks completely different from the Disney's one XD It looks more like fish than human.

I don't like the Disney ones, I like those who trick the humans and can turn into monsters.
Evil ones I like! xD

Hahaha! Actually, me too XD I watch Disney's cartoon when I was a kid sometime but still...I enjoy horror and creepy movies more.

Iso-onna and Nure-onna are very beautiful! It's no wonder one would fall for their deadly charms. ;u; <33
I really love the hair and the look on this one's eyes! The eyes alone are so hypnotizing~

Thank you so much!
Yes...I might fall for her as well... So I'll avoid to go near beaches during Obon and New Year Eve. XD Don't want to be drained yet. Hahaha...

And that is when I glue ofuda onto my body to ward her away.

Hahhaa! Really?? XD
But I guess if we don't go near the beach during the darkest time like Obon or new year eve. She can't get us anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True but I can be a daredevil sometimes so that is why I would glue ofuda to myself.

Uwaaa! There's nothing more creepy than an evil spirit's hair coming at you from all directions.

Hehehe...Indeed creepy! XD
Actually, there have more yokai who use their hair for the hunt. Currently; I'm drawing one of them. You will see soon.

Just stumbled over that picture and what can I say other than that I'm a great yokai fan. Seeing the appearance in Traditional certainly gives a nice flair to it and catches the atmosphere of the myths, especially the coloring gives off the eeriness of the deadly beauty.

Thank you very much!
Me too. I like Japanese mythology and folklore about yokai and kamis so much. Now I'm collecting them and making them into artwork with short summary. If you're interested, there has more stories here: hallowie29.deviantart.com/gall…
