"...Thirty years had passed, yet her body remained that of an eternal child. Her eyes alone told the story of her age, staring out from under her doll-like curls, with a questioning that will one day need an answer..."

ty. i didn't draw this to try to win a tshirt or be loved by the members of 2draw. i was inspired by the topic, and it is rare that i am inspired by anything these days so i grasped the opportunity to create an image. i could give an ass about placing in a 2draw contest.

Sometimes at night a heron will be seen with its eyes burning and its white feathers glowing with a supernatural light. From a distance, the bird appears like a fireball.I like birds |

SpoonI used the watercolour tool to create the basic shape of the spoon. Then I used the "dark" tool to shade it. I don't normally use the "dark" tool. I also used the "light" tool. I don't usually use that one either. I used a little halftone, and then blurred the image a little. After that, I used the typing tool to put bazillions of tiny S's to add more shading and lighting to it. It's weird, I know. =[
After I added the text, I blurred it, just enough so that the S's are visible. I was going for a kind of "rusty/bumpy" spoon, which is kinda weird now that I think about it, because gold isn't a very corrosive metal. D;

The kitsune- A multi-tailed fox of japanese folklore. Wiki--The Trickery of Kitsune-- There once was a Kitsune that fell in love with a man- and so she took on the form of a human so that she could marry him. As time went by the two of them married and had a child. But the child was not Kitsune nor human! It was a mix between both and had no powers to switch between forms. The husband was of course shocked and so the wife had to finally tell him the truth.. So she took him out to the forests so that nobody could hear them. "I'm a Kitsune," she confessed as she returned to her foxy form. The husband was still shocked, but since he loved his wife so, he forgave her for lying and promissed not to tell of her secret. Eventually though, the people found out about their half kitsune, half human child and thought it to be evil. One night, the wife went out into the forests to collect fire wood and returned to find that her house was set on fire. Her child and husband were both killed. In anger and pain, the kitsune screamed- vowing to seek revenge.. To be continued? *shrug*

There's a certain feel of colored pencil here that really appeals to me. I especially like the way the snout looks like it has real form to it.

?Gy?kialso known as: Ushi-oni, Uwajima-no-ushi-oni The gy?ki of Shikoku seems to share some common origin with the great ushi-oni that lurks in the Sea of Japan. Their names are written with the same characters and are in fact completely interchangeable, and aside from that they share a ferocious nature, a tendency to lurk in deep water, a horned head like a fantastic, demonic ox, and a connection to apparitions of women. But the gy?ki is usually conceived of as having a more wholly bovine shape, and prefers to live in fresh water, especially the deep pools underneath waterfalls. While it loves raw meat and has been known to devour men and livestock, it seems to have a slightly less bloodthirsty nature than its saltwater cousin, and in festivals sometimes even takes on a protective function, said to ferociously drive away more malicious spirits.

Congratulations, Gyuuki is awarded first place for Contest Week 64: YoukaiEven though the style you used is very loose there's also a lot of sophistication here. This can especially be seen in the woman's face, which has a high level of detail with being overworked or out of place. Her pose next to this monstrous creature is so perfectly relaxed that even without her horns we might suspect her to be something other than human herself. I also appriciate your ability to use a varied color palette with reds, yellows, blues, greens, and even pitch black together in one composition.

Just curious, does this legend mention anything about this chick apparently having two left elbows? |

Contest Week 64: Youkai closed for judging Halloween is going to come while this contest is running, so I thought we could try a theme of monsters but with one extra detail. Youkai (or y?kai, depending how you like to spell it) are basically the monsters of Japanese folklore and legends. There's a rich history of stories about youkai and a huge range of them; supposedly 11,520 types. Your goal these next two weeks is to illustrate a youkai, any youkai you can find in the links I'll giv...

It's a Tanuki. According to the Japanese legends, they have large testicles. I'm not drawing that in; don't ask me to!They also carry sake (?) bottles and wear cone-shaped hats. The Tanuki is also the only Youkai I'm familiar with. I think it's just because of the testicles. |

Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. Foremost among these is the ability to assume human form. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others � as foxes in folklore often do � others portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives.yup, crap
