I missed drawing OCs and since I’m boarding a fight scene to fluff up the olllllll portfolio thought I’d share my two boys.

Back when I was still on Deviantart when I first went to Japan (like...2004? 2005??) I came up with a bunch of Obakemono characters and wrote all their stuff down on deviantart. And then I deleted my DA lol And forgot everything. So I’m kinda starting from scratch.

I used a bunch of them for a project for school as well but that was mostly me scrambling last minute to finish assignments lol

Kurama and Sugi. Both named after mountains that Tengu are said to reside in. Kurama is a Yamabushi Tengu (The red kind with white hair and big ding dong noses) and Sugi is a Karasu Tengu (The crow kind).

Gwen and Trevini with their respective flying eyes.  Perrie, Trevini’s Flying Eye, is large, grumpy, and territorial of her and the areas he flies around in.  So when a smaller Flying Eye finds their way to Gwen he gets huffy.  I like to draw Trevini in a hoodie or a scarf, usually so Perrie can lay in it.  But I like it as a connector between the main and mirror world as well for her clothes.  They’re comfort items so of course she would choose something like that to wear in the mirror world.

Gwen and Labrum sketch with his Walking Lantern and Seika and Gwen where it looks like they’re in a family picture and Seika isn’t having it.  Walking Lanterns originally came from the Mirror World but of all the inhabitants of the Mirror World somehow Walking Lanterns have been able to come across unhindered.  They typically live around temples and aren’t an issue unless you pick them up by their handle.  Doing so makes them go limp and not able to spit fire at you until you put them down.  Then they chase you until you leave and somehow every other Walking Lantern finds out you picked one up by the handle and now you’re their enemy forever.

Cit did this by accident.  Even with being Death if she stands there as a skeleton to be like OH LOOK YOU KILLED ME they keep spitting fire at her until she leaves.  If she enters any temples that have Walking Lanterns she gets chased or just stands there on fire staring unamnused.  She honestly forgot you’re not supposed to pick them up.  She’s been around forever, to much to remember.

And then living candles, tall and small, Perrie and probably Labrum’s Walking Lantern.  Living candles and Flying Eyes are actually considered service animals/creatures.  The candles and Flying eyes are created by magic.  One person is solely responsible for creating Flying Eyes and sets them free in the world to help people.  Only problem is if you have one eye they think you need help..so in the case of Cyclopses or Cyclopse like creatures like Seika and Gwen you might get plagued with them.  Gwen just has the one, but Seika somehow has a gathering.  Though this may be because the creator of Flying Eyes is her brother and they just like her.  Flying eyes help those with sight issue by being a literal eye once they bond with you.  Or being bitey if someone bothers you.  It can be disorienting since it’s a flying eye if they aren’t perched on.  They’re typically little helpers around the house, bringing you things, protecting you, or yelling loudly if you’re about to fall into a hole.

Candles and Flying Eyes are both holy based.  Walking Lanterns are Fire and hate based.

Labrum loves Flying Eyes even though they’re confused by his..no..acutal visible eye, and they typically try to squish on him, and he loves Walking Lanterns but he finds the candles amazing because..they’re tiny living candles.  And he is a big candle man.  You’ll hear him squeal if he sees them.
