New Art - Yuki Onna kokeshi

[broom_rider]

I wanted to draw Yuki Onna for a while but since she is one of the most-known Yokai there are a lot of pictures of her, in every style... So the idea to add one more snowy femme-fatale to that bunch didn't really appealed to me. A few days ago one of my dA groups, Kawaii-Kokeshi, started a "Mythical Creatures of Asian Folklore" contest, and I thought - here she is, my different Yuki Onna! A kokeshi!:)
So here is an illustration to Yuki Onna fairytale, a kokeshi-version :)
May be I'll build and paint real Yuki kokeshi later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Мне давно хотелось нарисовать Юки Онна, но поскольку она является одной из наиболее известных Йокаи, то рисуют её часто.... вобщем, добавлять в эту кучу ещё одну роковую Снегурочку было не интересно. И тут на днях в одной из моих груп в dA, Kawaii-Kokeshi, начался конкурс на персонажей японского фолклёра. Вот тут-то меня и осенило - вот она, моя нестандартная Юки Онна! Это кокеши :)
Так что вот, иллюстрация к сказке про Юки Онна, в стиле кокешиков:)
Может, как-нибудь распишу настоящую кокеши-куклу Юки.

Beautiful! I love the colors, and the design of the snowflakes on her robes is gorgeous. And her makeup! I want to wear my eyes like that.

Thank you very much! I am glad that you like the picture!
The eye make up.... sure, why not? Let's dress up like Yuki Onnas next Halloween!:D

That's beautiful! I love the color scheme of the Yuki Onna figure. I'd definitely like to see you make a kokeshi doll of her. :)

Thank you!
I am going to paint some Yokai monsters kokeshi now, after practicing on the Western species, hehe :) Yuki Onna will be one of them.
