Hyakumonogatari -Hundred Tales-by *Yue-Iceseal

Designs & Interfaces / Game Development Art / 2D Game Art / Characters, Animals & Monsters

Hyakumonogatari-
100 candles would be placed in a circle, and the players would each tell a ghoulish tale. As each tale ended, the storyteller would douse a single candle. With the vanishing of the final light, a youkai would be summoned.

I've always been interested in youkai.

That kimono reminded me why the last time I did a Japanese theme painting was 4yrs ago kthxbye

How lucky we are that you painted a kimono again - it´s an amazingly beautiful work. And the story belonging to it - simply fascinating. There is something like a spell you cast (with your art) on the viewer and thereby you make us feel spellbound... that´s like I feel looking at this wonderful picture, reading the text and imagining the whole situation of Hyakumonogatari...
Now I´m still wondering what kind of ghost a "youkai" is... a soul of the dead? I´ll find it out. - I am sorry but I know so very few about Chinese (or Japanese) culture.
Thank you for sharing your art with me.

Beautiful as Always and I love the design on her Kimono. It is really interesting and makes her stand out very well. I never heard of the 100 candles but it sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing that interesting bit of info as well.

^{Wow, Yue, it's so beautiful~ You're amazing
If I could find better words to lift your drawing, I would, because it deserve much more praise.
You're a fantastic artist that I admire very much!!
Keep at it!}
