A pencil sketch of an anthropomorphic perigrinre falcon in traditional Japanese attire being pursued by an inflatable glow-in-the-dark skeletal humpback whale monster on a beach. The whale balloon’s proportions would look rather goofy in broad daylight though…something out of a classic Scooby-Doo Hoax.

For a #tengu unacquainted with helium, vinyl, glow-in-the-dark paint, and cunningly-concealed uv lights, this blow-up #bakekujira is truly a terrifying apparition.

A creature on 2 legs that resembles a whale skeleton with solid limbs, each ending in long bones like fingers. It is inspired by the Japanese legend of the Bake kujira.

One of the coolest OC's I've had the pleasure of creating, based off a Bake kujira I designed awhile back! Thank you again @metalsaur.bsky.social for commissioning me! ♥︎

The skeleton of a Minke Whale surrounded by a mottled green haze. The bones are shaded in a similar mottled pattern. The skeleton is curving to the left.

Made for the Bones Collab over on Newgrounds.
Based it on a Minke Whale since the Bakekujira is the ghost of a whaled ghost, and Minke Whales are the most commonly whaled whale by Japanese whalers afaik.

A ghostly skeleton of a whale, ominous red eyed fish and birds following in its spectral wake. "Bake-kujira" in kanji resides within their open maw.

This one I'm pretty proud of, the Bake-kujira! #art #digitalart #krita #yokai #bakekujira

Girl with red eyes and long red and white hair tied back with a light blue cuff. Her dress is yellow with black plant-like patterns and has short black sleeves with yellow circles along the edges. On her chest she has a light blue brooch and two gold stars. She has white boots with large yellow buttons running down the front and orange stars on the tips. Around her body are three large rib bones on either side, acting as a weird pair of wings. Behind her is a large skeletal tail surrounded by a blue aura in the shape of a whale tail. Further back is a fiery silhouette of a whale.

Since the new Touhou game will be coming out veeery soon, I decided to draw a character inspired by the jewel case silhouette! She's a bake-kujira mixed with an utsuro-bune. I'll work on more normal content soon :)
