?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. |

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...

I really like soft, fluffy towels. Um, yeah. So I wanted to draw one. It looks soft to me, hopefully it does to others too and not, uh, watery or low transparency or something. D= If I failed the soft thing let me know.
Kloxboy (Nov 5, 2007)
Right? Warm towels are especially awesome. I would maybe add some texture, to add to the fluffiness, yanno what I mean?
Myuuzie (Nov 5, 2007)
Oh yeah. Warm towels are the best, right out of the dryer and they smell all nice.Aww, man, but I feel silly. I'd never used an applet that lets you go back and fiddle with stuff before, so I thought since I'd completed the picture I was supposed to pick "finished." Ugh. I'll know better now, I guess. Thank you for the advice, I'll just have to keep it in mind for next time since I bummed up being able to edit this one. XP
Axil62 (Nov 9, 2007)
You can still go back and edit it even after picking finished. |

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.
