Ahh sorry! Forgot to add the description!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Autumn_Festival
This is a depiction of the Mid-Autumn Festival/Moon Festival/Mooncake Festival/Lantern Festival that is practiced by many East Asians. People celebrate it to worship the moon and show reverence to dieties like Chang'e (whom I've drawn). Farmers also celebrate the end of the summer haversting season with this occasion.

I based the picture off of a few lines in the version 4 of the stories of the Mid-Autumn Festival, found on wikipedia:
"Although Houyi wanted to shoot her in order to prevent her from floating further, he could not bear to aim the arrow at her. Chang'e kept on floating until she landed on the moon.While she became lonely on the moon without her husband, she did have company. A jade rabbit, who manufactured elixirs, also lived on the moon."

And I also based it off of the wikipedia images depicting the characters of Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit.

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.

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

?Gy?ki

also 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: Youkai
Even 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.

Congrats on the win Mai!

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

Would love for you to see my nude and my anime draw. They more reflect what I do and can do then my fooling around at FU :) I looked at all of your stuff here and here there or anywhere you are one wonderfully accomplished artist!
