This is the result of a couple hours of boredom...
It's a combination of several yokai/japanese ghosts/monsters with inspiration for the art style taken heavily from masters such as Hokusai, Sekien, etc. The kanji and hiragana both say "Yokai". The quality is pretty blurry/rough because it was kind of a quick shot with my camera. I'll see if I can get a version that retains the clarity of the paper version later.


Comments/Criticism?

Really nice! I really like it. What material did you use to draw it with? And what's a "Yokai" anyway?

Hm... I should probably put something here...

I didn't use anything special really, just a regular old HB 2 pencil on some canvass type paper (or sketchbook paper, it's a bit thicker/grainier than most). I took a picture with my camera, tweaked some of the colours in photoshop (the lighting in this room gave it a blue tint).

I should have been a bit clearer in the intro paragraph, sorry. When I said "Yokai/japanese ghosts/monsters" that was just me listing synonyms. So basically yokai are japanese demons or ghosts, however you want to think of it. "Gazu Hyakki Yakou" is basically a listing and illustration by Toriyama Sekien of a hundred of these 'yokai'.
