Yokai Lottery

Yup, that's a real Japanese demon. It's called a shirime. They usually target samurai, but this time Nini was the lucky one. They don't hurt or chase people, they simply moon them and shows off their shimmering eye.

Jacob, Nini and Friends

This one really took forever to make, my computer hate the file, and I'm not even done with it yet. But it was fun. I originally wanted there to be monsters from many different cultures, but I ended up only using Japanese monsters (exept for the little demon guy at the bottom who's from India, and the angels of course). Maybe next time.

It will be sold as a poster at the London Expo convention.

Take a bow

People keep asking what Jacob would do if someone hurt Nini. Would he even care?
Yes he would.

For those few who don't know, kappas are said to have a bowl on their head filled with water, and if they meet them you should take a deep bow for them because they will bow back and the water will spill out, making them lose their strength.

A less known part of kappa folklore is that samurai are their worst enemy, because they tend to trick or kill kappas when they see them.

JacobXNini sketches

A pair of somewhat pervy sketches of Jacob and Nini with friends.

The top sketch has Ruth in it, the blue oni woman from a few comics back. I deliberately give them horribly inaccurate names, a weird trend that started with the Indian demon named...Jacob. You get the picture.

The bottom sketch is a redone version of an old Japanese painting showing a woman perving on two samurais that I found in a book once. I don't remember how they could tell, but the book said that her pose showed that she was only pretending to be shy about watching them. I know their bodies look oddly short, but that's what the original looked like.
Both Jacob and the other demon guy are based on paintings of Indian demons. I just thought the weird forehead plate thingie on the other guy was too cool to be ignored and had to use him in something.

Flowers for a kappa

Got myself some new markers (kinda like copic, but not the real deal)! I had absoloutly no idea what I was doing while making this, and some things turned out a bit odd, but overall I'm very happy with it for a first try.

I just knew I had to draw something with Nini because one of the markers is perfect for her skin, so here's Jacob making some flower petals for her.

Demon Children

People keep asking what Jacob and Nini looked like as children.

That is also Jacob's true form, though with more adult proportions now that he's older. He can only add to this form, but not take from it.
He puts on a more demonic look with horns and what not because the asuras that raised him taught him it's best to be feared and to intimidate other demons. He's still very very strong through, so people are right to fear him. The demonic look is really just to avoid being challenged constantly and because it fits his personality better. Call it a fashion choice if you like.

Modest Demons

Drew this while waiting for the washing machine to finish. Jacob and Nini in traditional inspired clothes from their respective home countries. They're probably going to a demon fair or something.

A lot of people have asked what would be the best way to modestly cosplay Jacob and Nini, and I suppose this would be it. Jacob is wearing a shirt, but it's a traditional Indian see-through shirt for royals. If someone wants to be more modest they can of course make it of thicker cloth.

Sweet Nothings

Oh Jacob, you romantic you. :aww:

This was made on suggestion by a friend who wanted Jacob and Nini to be all cute and cuddly. Friend was not satisfied with what she got. It is here in color to mock her.

Demon Swim

Yet another fake screenshot.

A fun cartoon for the whole family! Take your kids to this fun filled ride into the world of demons, and follow our two heroes as their one night stand blossom into so much more! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8FM8nyy_Fk

Fun fact: The pink flowers are Jacob's doing. He can materialize them because he is actually a nature spirit from India that was raised by asuras, and they had such a bad influence on him that he is now classified as a demon. So while materializing flower petals seem very out of character for him, it's actually more true to his nature than anything else he does.

The Yokai Bar

Goddammit Jacob! Would it kill you to find a woman your own size!?

Anyway, the big blue woman is an oni, and the friendly looking racoon dog at the end is a tanuki, a type of yōkai that is really fond of teabagging people, sometimes to death. Don't believe me? http://b-knox.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/kagee_tanuki_2.jpg http://www.pinktentacle.com/images/kuniyoshi_tanuki_141.jpg

Oh Japan. Your mythical creatures are weird as hell, but so much fun to draw.
