🐍 Tsuchinoko real… TWO. This time a fat snake (based on a blue tongue skink) to go along with the fat cat, so two designs to send out for this month's sticker club! Hi-res + b/w lineart on kofi for subs to color their own fat snake.

It comes with a delicious assortment of enoki, shiitake, and matsutake mushrooms for you to forage while you go tsuchinoko hunting in the mountains.

Enjoy!

Tsuchinoko real...

One of September's sticker club designs. He's based on my former neighbor's cat butterball.

I shall be drawing a reptilian tsuchinoko as well to send out with this. I also thought it'd be fun to make coloring sheet bases for the tsuchinokos, so you guys can color your own cat as one! Since the lineart is pretty simple. Subs can download hi-res versions of the art on my kofi ✌

What is a #tsuchinoko?

It's a snake-like yokai (supernatural being from Japanese folklore) that is wider in the middle and narrower in head and tail.

- is fast and can jump very high,
- loves sake (the alcohol),
- makes 'chi' sounds,

The Japanese wikipedia entry has better citations and more descriptions than the English one
