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.

Izuko © Takahashi Tsutomu
Art © Carrie-ko

Thanks! I'm not sure if I drew the kimono sleeves correctly, though, because I did it mainly from memory. ^^;

My brains? Actually, believe it or not, I was flipping through a Kosher cooking book the other day and there were several recipes involving calf's brains. Brains in tomato sauce, brain stew. I'm not kidding! If you're gonna eat my brains, might as well be fancy. XD

Thanks!

Izuko! The curtains are done really well for the gates, and Izuko's expression is priceless~ have you seen the Sky High drama series? I love Izuko's kimono, but the dress in the series is really nice too..
