Artist's Comments

Wiki says:
A Kodama is a spirit from Japanese folklore, which is believed to live in certain trees. Cutting down a tree which houses a Kodama is thought to bring misfortune, and such trees are often marked with shimenawa rope.

Kodama appear most famously in the animated film Princess Mononoke, in which they are protrayed as small, white humanoids with large, rattling heads and mask-like features.

These will be on show at the Jacon 07.

Don't forget that they bring good luck (that's from Ashitaka)! Oh, that and they seem to be excellent guides *snicker*... anyway cool shading and I think I remember one or two of those guys from Princess Mononoke!

I can't begin to describe my joy at finding such skillfully drawn Kodamas. If haven't guessed from my Avi they are favorite mythological creatures. :w00t:

I simply love these little guys! You did an awesome job, and I'm glad you did so many of them. Also, the "roughness" of the shading on and around them adds a natural feeling, which applies perfectly, considering the subjects.
