(Deep down) We only care for ourselves (Deep down) We're only demons from hell "Captain, something approaches." Hello.

Tanuki! Joel looking ominous. Underrated lost to time trope that trickster creatures used to be pretty menacing, in my opinion. Give the man his scary yokai vibes!

(While I do some more experimenting with colors and the single brush.)

The peaceful life of Taki ~

I don't talk a lot about profesionnal work because most of it is still under NDA. But! For the past years i've been working on a super cute upcoming show named Taki at ChouetteCo, and some concepts are already available on the website so I might as well share them here.

This is literally the cutest thing ever, with adorable chara designs by Gaelle Autin. I can't wait to show you more about this, but you'll have to be patient haha.

Magical boy tanuki themed Yamaguchi!! He ended up a little closer to furry territory than I initially planned but that’s ok cuz I like how he looks I think he’s cute so. I’m going to try and do the accompanying kitsune Tsukki tomorrow

ID: [a digital drawing of Yamaguchi tadashi from haikyuu, but drawn as an anthro tanuki magical boy. He has a tail and ears and patterned fur, and is wearing a wide brimmed hat and traditional japanese inspired clothing in simple designs with a bottle and a lantern attached to his hip.] /End ID

okay so some of you might already know about this but i just happened upon some of the most interesting japanese folklore that i'm so happy to share with anyone and everyone that will listen.

this is a japanese raccoon dog, also known as tanuki. they are pretty much the cutest things ever ever ever and behave like raccoons in the way that they are nocturnal and they eat garbage but they're actually a part of the canidae family which include things like dogs, wolves and foxes whereas raccoons are more closely related to mustelids which include things like badgers, otters and weasels. the animal by itself is very interesting and adorable and fun to learn about, but you know what's better ? you know what's absolutely the best thing about them ? THE FOLKLORE.

bake-danuki is a type of yōkai commonly associated with tanuki. they're known to be mischievous tricksters, and one of their abilities is to shapeshift. there's a saying that goes, "the fox has seven disguises, the tanuki has eight." kitsune are also known to transform and shapeshift, but they're known to shapeshift to tempt people ... tanuki ? they just want to see you look STUPID. like a complete FOOL. their whole deal is just to fuck with you and i think that's hilarious. okay okay but anyway, you wanna hear about the best part ... right ? you wanna hear about the best part right ???

they can shapeshift into people yada yada yada yes that's very cool but their more interesting thing that they're known for ? THEIR GIANT BALLS. they are known to stretch their fucking balls for various reasons.

they've been known to use them as sails for boats, fishing nets, umbrellas, cloaks, etc. it's mostly in art and not talked about in stories as much, but i just think it's the funniest god damn thing. they say that metal workers needed something that could stretch without breaking in order to hammer down gold to make it as thin as possible. apparently, tanuki balls started being sold as wallets and charms, said to stretch your money as it did the gold.

also a fun tidbit that i didn't know was that animal crossing's tom nook is based on tanuki, not a raccoon ! (and tom nook ... tanuki ... ah ...) anyway ! look into tanuki/bake-danuki if you want (i highly suggest it because as funny as it is, it's also just very cool)

forgive me for any misinformation and feel free to correct me !!!

I apologize for not uploading more of the Wasabi stuff on here - Been a little busy with my youtube channel being hacked, but enjoy this question where we learn who's the most prone to start a bar fight, who's most likely to stop it and who will just sit around eating peanuts. In order Daibu, Hikari and Kitadani (And Chase)

Kuya: don't touch my ears unless you want to be punished for the rest of the day

Yukino: *chuckled as he slowly approached Kuya* "are you wanting to tempt me Master Kuya" *he said in a teasing tone*
