Time-Out!

continuration of this post based on the comment of @ancamierache

Idea was too good to pass up and @starscloset also mentioned that he could easily put her on the fridge with their height difference >:'D

also I am painfully aware that the hands (genyas) on the 2nd panel are both from the same limb (2 left or 2 right I am actually not sure lmao) I drew them without ref so eh- that's bound to happen xD

Palicotsuyu

I am so into monster hunter again and I remembered I already drew Otsuyu as Palico. This is Otsuyu in her truest form.

all fluff and sass

Deux D'Épées. Art by Matthew Meyer, from Tarot Yōkai.

ソードの二 OTSUYU Otsuyu is the female character of “The Peony Lantern.” The story sees her linked with Ogiwara, a widower who falls in love with her. She spends several nights with him then disappears in the morning: the meetings continue until a neighbor, peeking into Ogiwara’s room, sees him kissing not a young lady but a monstrous skeleton. Warned, Ogiwara asks the neighboring temple to help him chase away the spirit and Otsuyu does not return. However, the man, far from being appeased, yearns for a new meeting with his beloved. He will finally be granted his wish and led by Otsuyu into the realm of the dead. The Two of Swords indicates a complex decision that we cannot make. There are two paths, seemingly equivalent, and this feeling prevents us from acting. Upright: Indecision, evaluation, immobility. The Two of Swords indicates that we are at a crossroads and that we must evaluate the path to take. It is a card that denotes indecision and the inability to act, and therefore invites us to take a step in one direction. The situation is difficult, but we can count on intuition and our knowledge. Reversed: Confusion, blockage, information overload. Reversed, this card suggests that we are unable to get out of the impasse. We do not have enough information, or we even have too much: in any case, it is an invitation to listen to our intuition in order to move forward.

Eerily beautiful modern nihonga paintings by Matsuura Shiori (she also does a lot of bijin-styled art, some hinting at wlw!). For her take on Japanese monsters, the pieces shown here are:

One of the most beautiful jorougumo depiction I’ve ever seen (the tangled butterflies in her spiderweb-hair <3)

A banquet going amok because of mischievious rokurokubi and nopperabou, and their tsukumogami (animated objects) suite

A falsely serene Otsuyu from the Peony lantern ghost story

Crokery tsukumogami and a very curious investigating cat

Make-up tsukumogami and sleeping white cat (maybe a bakeneko as hinted in the mirror)

Going into a haunted house wasn't Sam's brightest idea. 😩 But at least she could face a yokai...if she survives it xD Lucky her she won't face this adventure all by herself - thank you @tsuyumajo for being Samekos ride or die bitch 🤌💕
