#ghost whale

[fluffomatic]

Well, I decided to slap one of these down! This one took a lot of thought. Like, I had no idea how to do this in a way that wouldn't kill the captured. It being a ghost means the inside doesn't have to be a stomach with acid. So the insides are just tickly little tendrils~! And the ghost strengthing the human so they won't pass out or die from the tickling. It's still very dangerous! Try your best to avoid it if you can handle days of tickling~

A being that according to some tellings brings villages disaster with its passing. These potential disasters include: fire, plague and disease, famine, and general misfortune, etc.

january's mythological creature was the bake-kujira! which is a yokai that takes the shape of an animated whale skeleton and brings a curse upon anyone who has the misfortune to encounter them.  A few tales suggest they seek revenge on the humans that took their lives (or the lives of whales in general) and will bring plagues and other disasters upon villages. 

They're said to be accompanied by strange fish and birds and stormy tides.

i took this idea and ran with it- i wanted to give the whale a sort of "suspended" in plasma ghost look while also keeping the skeleton as the main part. When I was looking around for reference, I found all these neat radiographs of fish and took inspiration from that for the skeletal ghost fish (which are more the IDEA of skeletal fish than as is. I tried to make them just bones at first and i didn't care for it and it wasn't fun to draw). I also used this idea with the birds- though they are more a combination of the whale treatment and the fish treatment (bird skeletons are more fun to draw than fish skeletons)
