#yokai shifters

[yokaishifters]

To anyone reading this, thank you for checking out my Tumblr and thank you for your patience! Chapter 2 is about 80% done. After Chapter 4, the chapters will be shorter to allow me to publish faster. Your support means a lot to me. This is my first webcomic, so it's a learning experience.

Have a picture of Akio!

[river-dawn]

Over halfway done with chapter 3 of my webcomic, Yokai Shifters! Action, adventure, magic! I will update again closer to publishing, but I'm expecting late January or early February. Making a comic by yourself is time-consuming.

Monster Month: Kawuso

Google Image Search This creature comes from Japan and it is what they call river otters.  These fall into the category of yokai, which are Japanese demons.  Known to be tricksters, they are similar in habits to kitsune (foxes) and tanuki (coming on another day).  Of course, these means they are shape-shifters. So, what does a Kawauso look like?  It’s about a meter long and very furry.  They have…

Starting off with my display! One of my many OCs.

I have plans to make her wayyyyyyyyyy more HENCH because she has more potential. Robyn is my main OC in my story but Narusawa was easier to draw 😭. Anyways...

I gave her vamp eyes when she's not a vamp so I gotta change them at some point.

TADAAA My OG Amber Eyes doodles, from before I ever started posting any Rise content at all... rip.

Note that Leon's design is far darker than Blue, because he only ever saw the lil guy dead in the dark sewers :D Wouldn't say these are completely accurate refs, I do want to change a few things (like the pLASTRON NOW---), but still! It's pretty darn close lmao.

With that, I crawl back into my little writing cave, thank you once again for the artwork, I will treasure it like the lil hoarding dragon I am.

It’s not my best work, but I got a little excited over the concept of your Amber Eyes AU (sorry for yelling at you both on Tumblr and Ao3 lol), and I kinda made fanart for it? It’s just a little doodle. I hope that’s okay 😅

I put in the aspects of the drawing included on your master post (e.g. double stripes), and I made “Leo” have a plastron shape more similar to Donnie’s, because I figured that Kiri may have taken influence off Donnie, or may have slowly forgotten small details like that over time (and started modeling Donnie more?? Idk lol).

Thank you for sharing such a cool AU idea! This is the first fanart I’ve ever shared before, and again, it’s not my best, but I figured I’d at least show you how you inspired me to doodle again, simply because of how incredible your fanfiction was lol :)

(It’s also the first time I’ve given someone an ask on Tumblr, so I apologize if I messed something up.)

Thanks again! Keep being amazing!!

No shut up I’m SOBBING HELLO??? THIS IS SO COOL??? I’m obsessed with the fact you’re obsessed tbh?? I genuinely did not expect to get fanart for this AU, especially before I finished the refs 🥺🥺

GOSH and he looks so good too!! You absolutely nailed it dude! Though I am so stealing the idea of Donnie’s plastron, cuz that’s actually perfect. Kiri!Leo’s carapace is more based around Mikey’s (since canon!Leo has three oval patterns and Mikey only has the two :D), so having his front match more to Dee is absolutely iconic and I love your brain.

I know I have the initial doodles for him somewhere… I’ll reblog em here as soon as I can for ya, cuz I should do that anyway. XD

AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS DUDE. Absolutely honored to be the first ask AND fanart you’ve shared!! Your drawing is absolutely amazing, and your brain is just so wrinkly I love it dhjsnfksnd

Finally finished Timothy Slim (pronounced Slime)

Timothy is a slime Yokai from the Hidden City who lives on the surface due to circumstances regarding his family’s business.

He attends the same high school as April and Casey and is well known as THE weird kid™️ because of his obsession with conspiracy theories. You name one and he knows and probably believes it or even has a conspiracy for the conspiracy.

The one he’s been focused on in most recent years is the New York sewer alligators who he believes are actually sewer turtles. Despite the laughs and patronizing of the online forums he’s in and of local conspiracy groups he is determined to find proof to set the record straight.

This is how he accidentally involves himself in April and Casey’s investigation into the disappearances of their best friends. He agrees (despite them never actually asking for his assistance) to help them search if they help him gather evidence for his research.

They couldn’t expect for two wildly unrelated investigations could have so much in common.

Timothy really only goes by Timothy since he likes it far more than “Tim” and he’s never really had friends to give him a nickname.

Fun fact! Slime Yokai families are known to have different abilities. Some can self destruct and others are super sticky. Timothy’s family can manipulate their slime to look like other things and change color and density (tho how well they can do the later depends on how good they are at shifting into a form). Basically they’re shape shifters which is why he doesn’t need a cloaking device to be in the surface!

(Dumb ramble)

I love seeing yokai gijinkas and everyone's interpretation of them.

With that being said;

I can not see Whisper as a twink.

Like this is the same character that is shaped like an egg and probably feels like a squishy marshmallow. It's hard for me to see him with a skinny bodytype. I have also seen people draw him more muscular which I feel like doesn't make much sense considering that he doesn't fight. I feel like it'd make more sense for him to be more chubby?? I feel like most "human interpretations of him give him the tumblr sexyman" treatment.

Shoutout to YKWFF for fighting against the "whisper is a twink" allegations

I know it can be argued that Usuta isn't Whisper because it doesn't make sense in the timeline but they were very much going for "Whisper if he was a human." I know people don't like Usuta-san's design because he looks weird but I love that!! Whisper is a weird looking guy!! Whisper is also round and squishy so it makes since that Usuta isn't thin.

Shadowside Whis is also another design people find weird! I grew to like his design because it does suit Whisper! He also happens to be more round like og Whisper.

I am making it clear that I love seeing any type of Whisper art! Even if its him being depicted as some anime twink! I love Whisper!!! Twink or not!!! I am not going to berrate someone over the hypothetical bodytype of a fictional character. Technically, Whisper could pretty much have any body type! (considering that he's somewhat of a shape-shifter lol)

I only wrote this because never really understood how we got from point a to point b??

I kinda want to see people with Whisper ginjikas try different things! I feel like twinkafying characters is the easiest thing to do, which is why everyone does it. I get it! But you can make a human version of Whisper look like him by doing more than giving him white hair and makeup! Don't be afraid to try different things out! The best thing about fan-designs is seeing everyone's different interpretation of the same "prompt."

At the end of day, have fun drawing gijinkas(/other designs) however you want! People shouldn't be upset at you for drawing fanmade designs! They aren't canon!

Chapter 4 is halfway completed! Looking forward to posting the full chapter on WebToon around end of March or early April. I will update closer to release! For now, here's a panel!

[thatonesoso]

NEW (slight) G/T SHOW ALERT

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANIME THIS IS THAT WAS ON MY FEED BUT I SAW A GIANT BOY AND CLICKED INSTANTLY

From the website, it's about a teacher accidentally signing up to work at a yokai school✨ (Japanese creatures and spirits in their culture and mythology). From the trailer, it looks very interesting honestly and THE FACT WE'RE GONNA GET A SIZE SHIFTING (I assume or just giant) CHARACTER IS GREAT LOOK AT HIM (There's also a website here for more info!)

Edit: READING THE MANGA HES OVER 400 FEET TALL HOLY CRAP (Also his name is Oota kun!) (Also I'm reading it from here if your interested! Though be warned the website does have....questionable ads.)

Edit 2: He's actually a size shifter later on!(That's all I'm saying on this post for the manga lol)

High hopes in October!

[crehador]

thinking once again about love tapped au (aka the one where samatoki hits a deer with his car and it turns out the deer is sexy shinto priest deer shifter ichiro)

i don't remember if i ever wrote it into the fic proper but i'm so enchanted by the idea of ichiro shedding his antlers every so often. samatoki pulling on them a little too hard during sex one day, when ichiro's close to shedding, and just snapping them right off. samatoki freaking the fuck out while ichiro wheeze-laughs until he cries

ok but that's not what today's daily is about, what i'm thinking about is samatoki coming to ichiro like babe you can totally say no if this is weird but jyuto's on the tail of some shitbag black market animal poachers and i'm going undercover to pose as a buyer but to make it more believable i need some fancy animal shit to display in my office. can i borrow your antlers from your last shed

and ichiro's like ohhhhh fuck. i mean i would totally let you but. i kinda. already sold them on yokai ebay. for some extra cash to. uh. preorder the new switch. but! i can ask jiro and saburo if they'd loan you theirs?

so they go to jiro and jiro's like oh my antlers from my last shed? i sold those on yokai ebay to preorder the new switch (he's beyond giddy when he finds out he unknowingly twinned with ichiro on this)

and saburo who hears about all this rolls his eyes like obviously i still have mine, i wouldn't do something as uncouth as selling them on yokai ebay, and i'm not just saying that because i'm upset i didn't get to twin with ichi-nii or anything. ahem. but what are you going to give me if i let you borrow them. and samatoki's like i guess... the new switch? which turns out to be the correct answer actually

can u maybe do april and a shapeshifter s/o whose insecure of their true form? (u can choose the true form :3)

Sweet shifter o'mine

Pairing[s]: April x Insecure!Shapeshifter!F!Reader

A/N: Don't mind the gif, I just thought she looked cute <3 Oh and sorry I kinda made it like a oneshot 😅 Also...friends to lovers, anyone???

[FYI I'm gonna be out for a week so take this as a peace offering <3]

April

💚- All she wanted was one normal friend

💚 - Not a mutant, not a yokai, not a bloodthirsty foot-clan member, just a normal human friend, who she can go out with hang out with [not that she discriminates <3]

💚 - Now, when she found out you're a shapeshifter, she wasn't upset, no-

💚 - She was glad, excited even, that you trusted her enough to tell her this, but all hopes she had of having a "normal" human friend...

💚 - Poof, gone with the wind

💚 - Constantly asking questions about your powers

💚 - "Does it hurt when you shift?" "Is there like a time limit? Do you have to shift back to your original form after some time?" "Oh! Have I seen your original form before?-"

💚 - Immediate discomfort in the air

💚 - April being April, immediately catches onto the bad vibe and changes the topic. But, by god, if that didn't pique her interest...

💚 - Shrugging it off as just being a bad time to bring up, you guys go a few days [maybe even weeks] without bringing it up

💚 - Until it does happen 😔

💚 - Now she's definitely noticed a pattern in your behavior. The awkward silence, the dismissal of the topic, the shifty eyes-

💚 - And y'all know April- New mystery in town? You know damn well she's going full reporter mode till she gets an answer, and it better be a satisfying one.

💚 - Now, I firmly believe she's not one to go snooping through your private things [looking in your room, peaking in, etc,]

💚 - But she will record your behavior. What topics make you nervous? What prompts you to shift forms? Different form everyday or not as frequently? Similarities between each form, so on and so forth.

💚 - Now there are two ways this can go.

💚 - Option A: Never speak of this again.

💚 - Option B: In the case that you have this thing where you have to go back to your original form after a certain amount of time-

💚 - If you guys are roommates and/or dating, it's more likely than not, that you'll end up having to go back to your original form in front of her.

💚 - For example, maybe you guys were out, at a diner perhaps, and it's taking longer than expected.

💚 - The timer you put on your phone rang, warning you about the time, or more specifically, how you were going to shift back soon. Panic rising, you excuse yourself before striding over to the bathroom to go hide yourself.

💚 - This wasn't anything that confused April, I mean, you're just going to the bathroom, right?

💚 - Now what did confuse her, was the fact that it had been twenty minutes since you'd left-

💚 - Thinking something's wrong, she made her way over to the restroom, her eyebrows furrowing together as she heard...was someone sniffling?

💚 - You freeze, as you heard her call out your name-

💚 - Fuck, you couldn't afford to be caught! First you have to deal with shifting back, possibly ruining your date and now this? You didn't want her to think of you as weak.

💚 - Wiping away your tears, and clearing your throat, you let out a simple "I'm okay," cursing as your voice cracks.

💚 - Alarms rang in April's head, as she walked closer to where she assumed the noise came from, "Are you sure...? I can stay if you need me to-"

💚 - "I'm fine!" You interrupt her, desperately wiping away your tears, making every attempt to look calm and collected.

💚 - Bringing the hood of your jacket over your head, you cover your face half way, head down as you walked out of the stall, forcing a smile, "Let's just...go home."

💚 - [Sorry for going into oneshot mode, I'm back-]

💚 - Now, it's no use trying to escape, because no matter how many tears you wiped away, how many times you cleared your throat, April could tell something was wrong.

💚 - And hopefully the bathroom is empty, because whether you like it or not, a confrontation is going down.

💚 - Now, she won't corner you or hold you down, but the look she gave you, that look of concern, or affection, of trust...it made you want to stay, despite your beliefs

💚 - So you did. You explained to her, how you've shifted, and how you were hiding because you were...afraid.

💚 - "Afraid...of what?"

💚 - But she was only greeted with an awkward silence.

💚 - Now, seeing you this vulnerable, it made her heart break. She didn't realize you didn't feel comfortable enough to show your true self around her.

💚 - Despite the temptation to pull you into a bone breaking hug, she kept her distance, nodding, thinking this over.

💚 - By now you felt another break down on its way. This was it. This was the moment you would kiss goodbye to this life. I mean, it was expected, why would April, a strong, independent, secure woman want to be with little ol' insecure you?

💚 - The air was stiff, just like that night all those weeks ago...only this time, April took a step forward.

💚 - You took a step back, noticing her sneakers make their way closer, till you have nowhere left to go, leaning against the sink counter.

💚 - It wasn't uncomfortable, no, April made sure to give you space, but yet it still felt suffocating, as though you were trapped, with no choice but to face what was to come.

💚 - You could see her shadow stretch as she reached out towards you, your head hung low, hood still on. The fabric of your hood ruffled in your ear as she paused, the rim gently in her grip.

💚 - That pause, it was like a silent plea, one last chance for you to leave, to forget all of this, yet begging you to stay...and stay you did. You stood there, frozen in your place, awaiting the inevitable tug, a gasp of shock, a break up which would leave you heart broken for months, years even; wincing as the fabric fell, head held down, ready to face anything thrown your way...

💚 - Yet all you got was silence.

💚 - Looking up, all you could see was a soft smile, as she brought her hand up to cup your face, the look in her eyes apologetic, comforting...

💚 - "You're...beautiful..."

💚 - You froze.

💚 - "...What?"

💚 - You could only listen in shock, as she praised you, apologizing for having to put up with all of this, your check resting in the palm of her hand as she stroked your cheek with your thumb.

💚 - The stuffy atmosphere cleared, as she brought you close for a hug, gently, yet it was as though you were locked in her arms. Unable to move, unable to leave.

💚 - Not that there was anywhere else you'd rather be...

[Please for the love of god someone draw this I'm actually so proud of coming up with this scenario 😭😭]

Hi I'd like to know more about Haru I like it when people have ocs

Take this Derek image cus I think it's very memeable and also I don't know how to start conversations

oki hi hello I'm so bad at this errmmmmm Haru's a wind kitsune and a werefox but like he's a more yokai “accurate” kitsune than the ones in the show

- he's a shape shifter with physical fox traits

- his magic has limitations, he needs a tama (fox jewel) in order to use magic he's also an ashirei, very VERY low rank kitsune , so his magic ain't all that powerful therefore he relies on his own less magical abilities

his gender is kinda ambiguous, he is AFAB and appears femininely but he refers to himself as a dude and so do his acquaintances

uhh fun fact he has given his tama to Derek and he wears it as a necklace cuz they're gay like that

uhhmmm hhmm IDK I can't think what else do u want 2 know abt him

I guess I thought I could be part of this… I never had this kind of thing before…

Brief Summary

When they were nothing but toddlers, Purple and Blue got lost in the cold sewers by themselves. This tragedy changes absolutely nothing, and also everything.

AKA: Blue died as a tot, and in order to get Purple home, a child yokai had to step in. Unfortunately, they have no idea how to step out now.

Original Doodles (And bonus fanart ;w;)

[favoritebatfam]

Bakeneko possess great shape-shifting abilities and disguise themselves as smaller cats or humans. It’s a type of yokai similar to Nekomata.

A matagot or mandagot is, in the oral traditions of French folklore, a spirit in the form of an animal, most frequently as a black cat. Matagots are generally evil, but some may prove helpful if properly cared for.

The Cat Sìth, in particular, was seen as a fairy creature, possessing supernatural powers and an enigmatic presence. The Cat Sìth is often described as a large black cat, about the size of a dog, with a distinctive white spot on its chest. Its eyes are said to glow in the dark.

The Wampus Cat is typically described as a large, panther-like cat with glowing green or red eyes. Wampus Cat has also been associated with other Southeastern tribal beliefs as a shapeshifter. It comes from Cherokee folklore.
