Description
While tidying up my room a bit I happened across a stack of the good paper I use with my Copic Markers that I thought I'd completely run out of!
So I thought I'd try my hand at coloring one of my sketches printed directly to the good paper with little to no actual inking.
The effect turned out better than I expected and also saves alot of time for a simple concept drawing like this. -^_^-

This is cool in color and I agree with the others that it would make a cool tattoo. I bet you would be able to draw an awesome Tsukomogami.

Hmm I've never really given too much thought about trying to draw one before... maybe I should though. -^_^-

I think you could do a cool one in your style.

Theres so many different types to pick from though it would be a hard choice. ^_^()

Maybe a nice smear of them? Little diversity, a sword here a lantern there.

Hmm perhaps a group shot could be more effective in the end though drawing them individually might be better to discern each creatures individual details.
There is such a wide variety of these creatures with really interesting stories yet so little thats easily found to read up on. 
The few Japanese people I know don't really seem to be all that fond of discussing ghost and goblins either. XD

I'm sure that you can do a good job on them though. I myself am a big fan of myths and legends.

Me too! You wouldn't happen to know of any good reading material concerning Tsukumogami or other Yokai would you? -^_^-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No. The only thing I can think of off hand is Wikipedia. Not a great source but it does have some info.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe thanks. ^_^
someone really needs to catalog all those Yokai for the western world to learn of.

Oh, man, it looks even more awesome in color! Dude, if I had the money, I would so totally get a tattoo of this. Of Lich Morbis Venu, too.

Haha thank you so much your compliments honor me greatly. -^_^-
If you do decide to get one as a tattoo just don't forget that the tattoo artist doesn't like to just trace stuff one for one talk it over with the artist and let them add their own special touch to it as well. An artist does his best work when he likes what he's working on. ^_~
Oh and send me a picture so I can see how it looks. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course, of course. The best tattoos are always the ones where the artist had control over the outcome, not the person getting the tattoo.
Oh, I'll be sure to, if and when I ever do it. I don't have a job, and tattoos cost money, so that's still many nights and days away.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No job? o.O How do you eat or use the internet? O.o
Well hopefully that situation changes for the better for you soon enough. -^_^-

Well, I never said I don't have any money. I don't, but I live with other people who do have jobs, and they understand that the job market sucks these days.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha yeah and slowly but surely sucking harder too. ;o
I'd like to make a career change that's more art oriented but its a big gamble at the moment with the current economy making it a tough decision to make.
Doesn't help that news reporters keep throwing word like "Global Financial Meltdown"... they keep trying to scare people for ratings and the market will just continue to decline. -_-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Never hear anyone say "Global Financial Meltdown." But then again, these days, it's just one more bad news report aafter another, so me? I hardly pay attention to the news these days except but for what the weather can tell. You never know when someone's going to be hiring, so I have to know what the weather's going to be like, so I can get out there and apply. Though, it's been well over a year now since I lost my job, so I don't get my hopes up.

Hmm I've been hearing more than a bit of talk concerning tattoos of this piece. ^_^

That is bloody awesome! And the color application is good, so are the colors!

Thank you so much! I had hoped to come up with an original color scheme to match the oddness of the creatures design. ^_^()
