This is an old art piece I did a long time ago, but never really uploaded it anywhere if at all. I don't remmeber.
 Basically this is a portrait of a character named: ''Akane Ogino'' during her days as an adult. The story involves her one day playing hide and seek with some neightborhood kids, only for her to end up into the Spirit World and getting killed and turned into a Jiangshi Spirit upon arrival. She was eventually found and taken in by a person called Mr. Jiangshi, the ruler of Gugong City who became her mentor.
 It is a story about adapting to a foreign society and customs and the road to adulthood pretty much. So it's not something that interesting and a pretty generic story to be fair. But I do hope that you enjoy it still, despide not really the cup of tea that most people expect from me.

Lu Chen is protecting a bunch of his students from some magical bullets in the Spirit World.
Lu Chen is know as a respected teacher of Gugong City. He is smart enough to teach almost every subject by himself. And who was willing to protect his students at al cost. Despide he was a former gangster who was  known for his brutality, he got a kind heart.
As third-in command of the Gugong he is responsible of the entire city when Mr. Jiangshi and the second-in command (kamin) are gone to somewhere. Therefore he feels responsible for the safety of all the inhabitants.
Lu Chen’s left hand can change into anything except for an hand, which is a bother to him. This is as punishment for his crimes in the old days when he was the dragon head of a notorious triad. His favorite weapon is a saw-like sword, which he used when he was still in the triad. He can also fully transform into that said sword.
His eyepatch is iconic amongst everyone. It’s unknown why he’s wearing an eyepatch. Lu Chan claimed that his eye can shoot spirited energy towards his enemies, but that is a mere rumor.
Lu Chen got the highest bounty for a triad member; 90.001 gold pieces.
As a child Lu Chen grew up in the slums of ‘’Chang'an city’’, a city known for its peace, but in reality it was one of the most corrupt cities of the China-Region. The city was largely controlled by the triads. His life was hard. His parents abandoned him at a age of 12. Lu Chen got involved in numerous crimes. Stealing books in particular.
Lu Chen eventually joined a triad named: ‘’The Si Wong Triad’’ because of his knowledge about; almost anything like: smuggling, assassination, money laundering and gambling. He later became the Dragon Head of the triad. During his reign. The Si Wong Triad grew as one of the largest and most deadly of all triads. Killing and eliminate all others triads. It eventually became a well know problem for the authorities, but the triad itself was just too large and too well organized to handle by local authorities.
Lu Chen was a wanted man in the entire Spirit World with wanted and warning posters everywhere. It is also know that he got the highest bounty of all the triad leaders. With a bounty of 90.001 golden pieces.
One day a child wanted to join the triad, but Lu Chen turned him down by kicking his ass saying that the triad life, isn’t for a kid and that he should stay in school. A few days after the main base of the triad was under attack by a task force under command of the Spirit Council to deal with the gang problem. In the fight u Chen got left behind by his fellow gangsters. Leaving him heavily wounded.
Lu Chen was eventually took in by Mr. Jiangshi. His hand was replaced by his weapon which can changes almost everything, but as punishment his weapon can’t change into a hand. He can also transform into his weapon.
Mr. Jiangshi offered him to stay in the Gugong, because he couldn’t go anywhere. He agreed, but as punishment for his crime, Lu Chen had to work as a teacher for a class of school children.
At first he didn’t like it and rather acted cold towards the students but he eventually grow closer towards his students and even willing to protect them.

It has been a while since I’ve uploaded some content on this account, because I’m rather busy with other projects and daily life and such. So this is a pretty old piece of art.

So I've decided to make a costume reference for my Jiangshi OC: Akane Ogino, because all my previous entries either show parts of her costume or it wasn't that all clear. Akane basically wears the standard Gugong Primary School uniform for girls, so this can also act as a reference for the primary school girl uniform of Gugong City, while some female servants of Gugong City wear a similar attire. Gugong City is a city or a giant palace located under a large mountain in the Spirit World. Akane is basically here as a model to show the uniforms for all young girls who are enrolling into Gugong City Primary School. Akane wore this uniform in her younger days at Gugong City. Design notes: -The clothing is loosely based on the Hanfu Chinese style clothing, while it also took a bit of the Manchu clothing style, which was popular during the Qing Dynasty and in Republic China, further was this design also inspired by the Japanese clothing style. It is ironic as Akane is in fact Japanese while she ends up in a location that has is mostly based on Chinese culture. -The armband is worn by most servants of Gugong City, excluding high ranking officials. It is the Imperial Coin which is also used in the official flag of the China-Regions (The country in the Spirit World). The Imperial Coin can been seen everywhere in the city and most servants including the officials have the coin on their clothing. The armband indicate that that person is working in Gugong City and it's considerd to be an entrance pass inside the city. High ranked officials are not required to wear one as they have an pendant for that. Military officials, like generals are also required to wear the armband, smae goes for the guards who are stationed in Gugong City.   -And yes, they do wear pants including Akane. One of the reasons why I made this refrence sheet was to show that those white robes were not here pants and that her garments consist of an secondary robe. Her pants are a bit visible, because of their dark red colour. Her secondary robe was made of silk. -The robe that is used as a belt can vary, as some girls make it a ribbon, Akane on the other hand doesn't want to be bothered with that, so she mostly ties her robe at a very fast rate. It is also stated that at the beginning, she preferred her own human cloths (She was a human in the past). There are diffrence versions of it, but most of them contain the Imperial Coin. -Her sleeping clothing/Pajama are just her clothing beneath her. her red/yellow robe is actually stuck on her upper red clothing. -Her boots were made of black satin. -Akane's red ribbon is made of silk. It was a real struggle to come up with this design and how it will do in real-life. It might be possible to wear it in real life, but it will be pretty hard to pull it off, or time consuming. I already did an refrence sheet for Akane, but not about her costume she wore in her younger days. Her refrence sheet along with her background story can be found here: starwars98.deviantart.com/art/…
While I have a bunch of older artworks lying around on my PC i've decided to release this one first, because I think it's pretty neat to share, so if you think that future drawings looks a bit off or below quality then now you know.

''I hate it her, I just want to go home. This place isn't and will never be my home!'' My original jiangshi character: Akane Ogino, frustrated and at the edge of despair. She was bullied on her first day in Gugong City. Just bullied away from her classroom. Normally she would beat up those nullies but after a promise with a friend of hers wich Akane isn't allowed to go into fights. Akane feels the despair she hadn't felt for a while. Akane doens't belong her, she wanted to return to her own world to her own friends and family but she can't. She can't go back, because she died and is turned into a jiangshi spirit by her new master in order to save her: Mr. Jiangshi. I think this piece turned out pretty well. But it took ages to do the background. The Chinese text translate to: ''Gugong: Angel street'' and below is: ''District Eighteen'' The symbol 二 (Means two) Doens't hae a meaning on the sign. A jiangshi is a chinese hopping vampire/ zombie

I found this piece in the back of my PC agian. So this is my OC Ankor with not my OC Skyler holding hands during one of their mission they preformed. The setting of the story is that they were assigned in an undercover mission to assasinate a powerfull crime lord. Altrough Skyler didn't like to wear a dress, she somewhat managed to survive. Design notes -Ankor's tie is loosly based of that from Spirit Albarn from the anime and manga: Soul Eater. I choose this design, because Ankor is a member of the ''Priests Of Death'' -His smoking is actually the office uniform of the Priests Of Death. -Since Skyler didn't like dresses. I design a more simple and plain looking dress, but with some little accessories: The belt, giving her a little bit of messy look. -Skyler's large handshoes (No idea how those things are called) are black while Ankor's tie and smoking pattens are red, giving them a matching fitting and predicting that they are more than just friends.

This piece was on my PC for a while, so this is yet another jiangshi OC named: Akiri Fuk, but she preferred to be called Akuma. Akiri/Akuma is the vice-commander of Jiangshi VOX 5, an elite unit stationed at Gugong City, dealing with the most dangerous and reckless tasks, only the most rogue and aggressive soldiers are allowed in this group. Akiri is also amoung the best fighters of VOX 5 Akiri wears a customized Gugong Guard uniform jacket and handshoes. Her ribbons or hairband are yellow fulu talisman.
Her favourite weapon is a customized sniper/ anti-tank rifle, designed by Four-Eyes. Which she named Taofang. It fires like any other rifle in the Spirit World a high concentration of spiritual energy at the target, resulting into heavy wounds.
Akiri was also the best markswoman in the Gugong Guards. Her achievements were so impressive that she was able to join the Gugong Elite Guards, but was kicked out by Kamin, because he simply didn’t like her that much.
Her secondary weapons are a pair of shotguns and a Dadao (Big Sword)
Akiri/Akuma was a former member of a mercenary group, but after the group was destroyed. She was recruited by Katsu to join the Gugong Guards.  
Akiri has a really bad relationship with her father, because she thinks he was responsible for her mother’s and siblings death. After their death she changed, from her love of her father she turned into someone who absolutely hated him, Akiri was also feared by her peers in school, earning her the nickname: Akuma which she was proud of it.
Her age is: around 120 years old
She has an Tomboy personaility and curses a lot, but when she's near to Katsu she will act very strange and out of her character. In much confusion of the others.

An animated version of this: starwars98.deviantart.com/art/… A parody of the famous scene of the anime movie: My Neighbor Totoro I wanted to do this scene for a long time and it turned out pretty well. Because of Mr. Jiangshi's clothing design he looks extremely tall compared to Akane, but he's actually just above average than a normal adult, despide he can change his size.

Two jiangshi spirits: Akane and Mr. Jiangshi are waiting for the bus. A jiangshi is an chinese vampire or/and zombie. A parody of the famous scene of the anime movie: My Neighbor Totoro I wanted to do this scene for a long time and it turned out pretty well. Because of Mr. Jiangshi's clothing design he looks extremely tall compared to Akane, but he's actually just above average than a normal adult, despide he can change his size. Drawing the background killed both of my hands.

So this is one of my jiangshi OC's named Hin. A jiangshi is a Chinese hopping vampire/zombie for the ones who aren't aware of it. It kinda laid in my laptop for a while. Hin is a quite jiangshi girl and often get bullied by other classmates, because she doesn't talk. Hin appeared doesn't have the ability to talk, because Mr. Jiangshi placed a seal on her forehead in order to contain her hidden power. When removing her talisman seal, a great power will be released out of her, that might result in her death when used too much. Hin can communicate telepathic, but only with a handful of people she likes, including Akane who helped her when she was bullied by her classmates. 聶和殷 is how you write her name.
