These little chibi (or SD, whichever term you prefered) are something I did for fun awhile ago. The feedback I got for them was encouragingly positive and I enjoyed doing them. I called them collectively as 「いろいろ怖い物」(iroirokowaimono = various scary things?). It will be a collection of my takes on various mythology figures, ghosts, folklore, or even urban legends.

Here are first installments. There’s (from left to right, top to bottom)
Koame - literally, small rain, light rain, not exactly a real myth figure, but
Waruineko - literally ‘bad cat’, no, it’s not really myth figure either.
Ushiwakamaru - If you read enough manga, you’ll know him, he defeated Benkei on the bridge while looking like a girl and grow up to be Minamoto no Yoshitsune, haha.
Kappa - sorta like water ghost, he likes water.
Rounin - ..ok, if we are gonna play game ‘what doesn’t belong to the group’ this would be the answer. but it’s the first one I did that inspired me to do other designs. So give him some props.
Okiku - She’s famous ghost of maid girl who was killed (somehow, by, in or with the well) as a punishment for losing a precious dish. There’s various version of the story.

My friend, who preferred to remain unnamed (because it was cool!) had made a bunch of stickers from these designs to give away at ECCC and NORWESCON. If you were those lucky people, congrats! I still didn’t have them yet XD

While supplies last, if anyone wants a pack of six stickers, let me know. Email me your address at shari.hes at gmail dot com.
