Artist's Comments

At last, another piece for the Women of Japanese Horror series! This is number eleven, believe it or not. When am I going to stop this madness?

Anyway, this is Izuko, the guardian of the gates to the afterlife and posthumous counselor to the newly murdered, who appears in the excellent manga "Skyhigh" (you can find the scanlations on Omanga.net). She's sort of like the Japanese equivalent of Death of the Endless, only less cheery and lacking the ankh. XD The fetus on the bottom right-hand corner is a clue to her past, but you'll have to read the comic to find out how. I'm mean that way.

Watercolor, pencil, gel pen.

Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse.." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse.."

I love her face, and the grey tones really set the mood ^+^

But me,
I'm a single cell

And yet another really wonderful picture! Wow, the mood of this picture is fantastic! Fits the term "death" perfectly :) I love the way you colour your artwork, it's always so beautiful and flawless! And these symbols you add into your pictures are very cool looking too.
I also really like her hair, it seems nice and flowing. Very well done!:clap:
I really need to read that manga now :D
