It's a new year, specifically: the Year of the Horse!!!
And what better way to celebrate than with Tien the Kirin, from my #31DaysofYokai, charging forth into a new year! No fancy kimonos for him though - you know how he dislikes fancy clothes.
To a new world of gods and monsters!
#31DaysofYokai: Gods & Monsters
I have completed this year's Yokai challenge by @minionkingkarl.bsky.social, and now, here they all are together in ONE WALLPAPER!
No Yokai were harmed in the making of this picture.
#31DaysofYokai DAY 31: Raijin
Shin Raijin - The lightning god that is feared by billions. He still finds ways to take the Earth's life. He uses his drums to alert people that he's ready to attack and kill anyone who dares to doubt his power.
🥁 ⚡️

#31DaysofYokai Day 31: Raijin
He’ll drum later. He’s got games to play.
This was a really fun challenge to partake in, and I hope to do this again next time.

President and CEO of the powerful Denryu Electric Company, provider of many services in Hyakki, the charismatic and intelligent Denzou runs his company with a literal iron fist.
#31DaysOfYokai Man… can you believe it? We’re almost at the end! Just one more left! So with that in mind…
What’s the deal with those curved bead things, eh? Why does the Denryu Electric Company want them?
Tomorrow, all will be revealed…
#31DaysofYokai DAY 15: Tengu
Kaen - the first-born Yokai. He's a Shinto God who controls flames, creates an army of birds at will, and has served as an assistant to the God of Thunder, Rajin. He's responsible for turning people into. Yokai/Humna hybrids.

#31DaysofYokai Day 30: Tengu
He’s just tired, ok?
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
#yokai #oc #yokaioc #ocs #originalcharacter
Waka is a Karasu Tengu wearing a large cloak over short, thin yukata robes. The cloak hides the movement of his arms from opponents, disorienting them. He holds a great aralia leaf fan in his left hand, and a katana in his right. On his head is a ceremonial headband, with the two ends sticking straight up. He wears a fierce, determined expression.
#31DaysofYokai day 30: meet Waka the Tengu!
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
The mystical Tengu Clan has been the covert, loyal protectors of Hitodama City for eons, and for 15 years, Waka has been one of its most loyal members.
30. Tengu We see here that we have his face which he has a bit of a mountain range mouth( meaning he’s got a very serious pout i guess) he’s wearing very traditional tan clothing holding his staff, but he also has a Donald Duck thing going on where he doesn’t really wear pants, but he does wear wooden sandals, in the background, we could see his shrine maiden daughter from very far away, where she has a tied up hair she is wearing traditional shrine maiden robe and hakama pants. we see that she’s kind of gently sweeping over in the background
#31Daysofyokai
30.tengu
Here we’ve arrived at tengu, it has been said that tango have been known to be master fighters, but I think this one is gonna just run the shrine that’s close by, also he has a very tiny shrine, maiden daughter
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
Tanu T is a gentleman Tanuki wearing a fine white suit with petticoats and a fine cravat,shoulder pauldron on one shoulder. He dramatically flings open a large cape. He holds a typical magician’s wand in his right hand. On his face is a mask that resembles the Tanuki’s natural mask, but with blank irises turned downward, making him look at all times confident and arrogant. He wears a large, wide brimmed fedora whose brim resembles something like a fat arrow - and in the back is a stem, making the brim more resemble a leaf.
#31DaysOfYokai day 29: meet Tanu T the Tanuki!
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
It’s him! The Miracle Magician! The Ring-Tailed Pillager! The one who can steal the unstealable! True identity unknown to all, this Tanuki is a notorious Phantom Thief operating all throughout the country of Hyakki.
#31DaysofYokai Day 29: Tanuki
They got pouches now instead of… the other stuff.

29.tanuki She is standing in an open hand form with a ponytail that looks like her tail, the text reads why is she so angy?
#31DaysofYokai
29. Tanuki
This might become a rival for my oc kate, shes a tanuki girl who studies a form of okinawan karate or she could study taekwondo, not sure on the details, all i know is shes angry and probably is distant from alot of people
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
#31DaysofYokai DAY 29: Tanuki 💋
Satto is a human-raccoon hybrid who is an incredible hider and explorer in the wild. She's much happier living as a sneaky Tanuki in the outside world. Just make sure you have a mango with you. She loves mangos. 😉
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
#31DaysofYokai DAY 28: Ashinaga-Tenaga
Both Ashinaga-Jin & Tenaga-Jin are mysteries, but eerie guards around the desert. Their arms and legs make them larger than life. Their eyes and mouths glow to threaten their prey.
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
Tenko and Ashiya are a pair of siblings, each with super long limbs, with Tenko piggyback on Ashiya’s back. Tenko has short hair and wears a torn-sleeves leather jacket over a shirt with a skull lightning bolt design on it. She wears spiked wristbands and is currently using her left arm to squish Ashiya’s cheeks. Ashiya’s hair is also short cut, he wears headphones and a Hitodama Blaze baseball tee with the number 29. He looks up at Tenko dejectedly.
#31DaysOfYokai day 28: meet Tenko and Ashiya the Ashinaga-Tenaga!
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
An eccentric brother-sister duo, Tenko and Ashiya can be found all over town, doing various odd jobs and bantering together.
28.ashinnaga tenga Hear what I draw was the two twins one has very long arms and standing on one hand and waving with a smiling expression . The other one is more gloomy and a bit angsty with very long legs
#31DaysofYokai
28. Ashinnaga tenga
Draw two twins for this one woman having very long arms and one having very long legs , not only that, but they have very contrasting demeanors.

#31DaysofYokai DAY 27: Kirin
In the clouds at dawn, you'll find a Kirin watching from above. Its hair shines like fire, and it can remove the dark fog that covers the sights of Japan.
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
Tien, a kirin-type centaur boy. He wears a simple fire-pattern t-shirt. He has a bandage over his nose, scruffy and wild hair, and a baseball cap with a two race flags logo, which has holes in it for his horns. His hooves are currently lit in flame.
#31DaysOfYokai day 27: meet Tien the Kirin!
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
Though he hails from an incredibly wealthy, fancy estate, Tien is the complete opposite of his pompous, prim-and-proper parents.
27. Kirin As we can see, she has the horns like a here and her undershirt kinda has a bit of that scaly underside. She has socks that are have electricity patterns on them and she has Yokai fire on her legs and arms, she’s wearing a two-piece shirt(I don’t know if that’s the right word.) and she’s kind of wearing like slip on shoes.
#31Daysofyokai
27.kirin
I decided that I’m gonna make her an Uma, maybe write something more beyond this point like he might be one of those Uma’s know how to fight, but I just thought this was funny.

26. Amikiri So it’s basically just the yokai it’s, its got a beak mouth small crustacean body and lobster claws, so the first thing i thought about was the one shrimp from a scene in “the alge is always greener” when a shrimp reacts to mr krabs yelling so long shrimp as he launches plankton once again
#31DaysofYokai
26. Amikiri
*flicks bad guy* “so long shrimp
No real lore behind this guy but i thought this was funny
#31DaysofYokai Day 26: Amikiri
What a slimy individual

Pierre is a shrimp-like person wearing the striped shirt and apron of a barber. His hands are scissor-like claws, one of which is behind his back. His hair is short, but wavy, and he has a thin, curled mustache on his beak-like mouth.
#31DaysOfYokai day 26: meet Pierre the Amikiri!
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
Owner of the “Jean-Closeau Boutique”, self described “high class” barber in the North side, Pierre is certainly an eccentric fellow.
#31DaysofYokai DAY 26: Amikiri
Tsume is a Crustacean-Yokai who lives around villages, storing fish for the summer. The best way to describe Tsume is... he's... a bastard. He's a demon you don't want to bother when visiting a few villages.
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
#31DaysofYokai DAY 25: Taka-Onna
Yorokobi is a dancing spirit who roams around love hotels. She extends her body to scare couples in the middle of their pleasure districts. She would use her body to fight off creeps who get too friendly with her. 👀
@minionkingkarl.bsky.social
25. Taka onna, I can see the buildings are not even as tall as she is and she has to watch her step. In the bubble, you could see that she has a little bit of a worried face trying to be very careful and her yukata also has a building patter at lower end
#31DaysofYokai
25.taka onna
She do be a tall lady, she doesn’t like looking down on anyone but unfortunately everyone is shorter than her
