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.

I've got the same problem with the sleeves. I think the solution is to just look at a lot of old Edo period prints of kimono (if possible). Or manga with characters that wear kimono, like Kze Hikaru or Ai Yori Aoshi.

All that fabric falls in some rather strange ways.... :confused:
