Initial ideas

So to begin with, I started researching different types of monsters of folklore from Japan. One of the creatures that sticks with me is Yokai. I love that Yokai can be anything from a normal ghostly apparition to a terrifying demon. For my first idea I went with the classic Japanese horror trope of a girl with long hair wearing a white nightdress. I've drawn her to be a poor, tortured soul forever cursed to exist in our world. Quite the typical profile for a ghost really!

Two different designs and torturous situations. Lovely!

Expressions are hard to come up with!

I sat down last night and started one of my character expression sheet. It's difficult to think of expressions that we make and how mixed up or misinterpreted they can become!

Goblins update

In keeping with the other goblin that I coloured, I've given these two designs a mossy and mouldy type look. Out of all of them I like how the old man goblin and the orcish looking goblin from a previous post are my favourite so a decision has to be made soon on that one. However, I feel like the orcish goblin will fit best because of the tone I'm going for. These were both done with Windsor and Newton water colours combined with Derwent Inktense blocks.
