Although I’ve been keeping up with daily Inktober illustrations, I have sadly been very bad at posting them daily on social media- so here we go!<\/p>\n

October 5th’s topic was “Long,” so keeping up wiht the monster theme I went with the female yokai (monster) known as Rokurokubi<\/em>, or the long-necked woman. Like many yokai in Japanese mythology, Rokurokubi just like to spook humans by enlongating their necks or having their heads fly off their shoulders and chase unsuspecting humans.<\/p>\n

October 6th’s topic was “Sword,” and man, this was a difficult one to draw for a monster topic. I could have sworn that I had come across a haunted sword in past literature, but sadly couldn’t find anything when searching yesterday. I ended up doing another Japanese yokai, this time a Tsukumogami<\/em> of a sword. Feel as if this is cheating though, tsukumogami are said to be inanimate objects that have reached 100 years old or older and thus gain a soul and become haunted. There is a huge long list of tsukumogami, anything from umbrellas to tea pots and shamisens.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking that I’ve done enough Japanese monsters so far, and will turn to drawing some other folklore in the coming days.<\/p>\n
