Artist's Comments

This woman is Tamamo No Mae.

It's Fox monster which has 9 tails ( 'Kyubi No Kitsune/Yoko' )
and turns into a beautiful woman.
The name Kyubi No Kitsune might be well known because of NARUTO.

This monster came from India, by way of China, to Japan.
Tamamo was called 'So Dakki (Su Da Ji)' in China.
Dakki is a famous character in 'Houshin Engi ( Feng Shen Yan Yi or Feng Shen Bang)' ,which is an old chinese story.

This is so gorgeous! I like how you put all those little details into the picture, like the sushi and the little tassles in the background and so on!
And the twins are in this picture as well, tied together by rope.. are they about to be sacrificed, along with some food, to the Tamamo No Mae?

It's so beautiful, and so well drawn. And the colors! You can always tell it's done by you bcause the colors are so distinct throughout.
