Finished at last, and happy Hinezumi Day! This is Project Pharmacy, my rather long-winded love letter to all of the original characters in Mononoke which spawned into existence since the first lore drop confirming the existence of more than one medicine seller in Mononoke's quickly expanding universe.

This was a project I began October 2024, and it has been nearly a year since then. There are a total of 251 Kusuriuri and 89 Shingi in here, and that's not including all the cameos of canon characters and creatures.

I am rather exhausted, but hopefully in the coming weeks I can share out the individual characters inside this massive illustration. For now, have a few close-ups!

I think I may have shared this area in the community, but not on my main blog. I've added a few more characters to the scene since then!

They are multiplying.

As of tonight I've drawn over 200 original Kusuriuri, Shingi, and miscellaneous creatures/pets belonging to the various artists of the Mononoke community. I believe this shows maybe...half of them?

Please look forward to seeing the final illustration featuring all of them crammed quite cozily into a single space! I hope to finish it before Hebigami comes out, lol

Ah, it's already Medicine Seller Day (薬売りの日) in Japan?

Timezones are strange like that. Here's bunch of 💊OCs which I think I haven't shared yet - in a pseudo sticker sheet!

If you recognize your OC in the mix, send me an ask or comment on this post. I'll be happy to send you a PNG of them. ^_^

59 Kusuriuri & Shingi OCs 💊 (+1 Cat 🐱)

I realized quite belatedly I have only shared Project Pharmacy on the relative privacy of the Mononoke community. It is a massive illustration filled to the brim with a lot of original characters created by various artists in the fandom. These are the ones featured in the background. Do you recognize any?

Mononoke OCs by @mirror-and-mind, @diabololunaire, @theblindhakune, @scribblebugg, @navyblues-hell, and @getsuuna

These are pulled from my bigger illustration containing over 300 OCs which you can see here. If you would like to get a PNG of your character, comment/reblog on that post or send an ask!

Various Mononoke OCs belonging to Japanese artists on Twitter who asked for close-ups of their characters!

Possibly the last update on Project Pharmacy before I publish the full image on Hinezumi's Netflix release day. There are quite a few last minute additions of OCs from Tumblr here, but I think I'll leave it to the fates for their owners to find them! Feel free to tag them in the comments if you recognize them though.
