Commission for my dear Patron Jessie Bear!

A very unique commission of her Kinugumo OCs, which are her personal invention of a species of supernatural spiders. Featuring Grandmother Ishi (giant white spider), Chidi (MUCH smaller brown spider) and the humanoid Kinue, who is a Jorogumo (spider yokai)

Luscious purple for this antique summer kimono showing jorogumo (golden orb-weaver spider) on their delicate webs.

OP nicknamed this kimono 'Temptation of the Spider's Web', a nod to the fact jorogumo also used to designate dangerous youkai who loved to lure humans, especially men, and then devour them. They appeared as partly or full humans, always taking the shape of beautiful and entrancing women.

Their name was originally written with 女郎 kanji lit. meaning “whore” which may explain the association often found in tales between them and classical yujo (prostitute) features and tools – such as cord instruments (like shamisen, or sometimes biwa).

I'm working on a BM backstory slowly

It would be for both my Addams Family AU and for just Rise, I think it'd be able to work lore-wise for both so why not

She lives in a village of fellow Jorogumo, long before the existence of humans. She appeared out of the forest one day, being taken in by one of the kinder women, who tended to her like a daughter.

But the girl held a dark, festering greed inside her, something the others scorned her for. And what she didn't find useful, she forced aside :)

Trigger warnings for blood and implied death, Day 23: gore

This is probably the darkest thing I've made. :p

I'll be honest "gore" was the only prompt on this list I flat out disliked. But I tried my best to work within the prompt regardless, and it's still pretty soft. XP

I've made plenty of jokes that Arachnia eats humans before, cause she's a jorogumo, it's what they do. But at the very least, Arachnia has standards, and only eats terrible people. Like the creep from that one Hailey Anne side quest.

Hope you enjoy, and if this ain't your thing, don't worry, likely to be the only time I depict such degree of violence.

Jorogumo, the Japanese half human, half spider yokai, served as the inspiration for this beautiful and spooky goat commission!

The stark contrast in colors and the great many stripes as seen on a real life joro spider turned out very striking!

✨Also a reminder that our first ever pin Kickstarter Pride Demons 🏳️‍🌈 in now LIVE! ✨

QUESTION FOR YOU!

Would you listen to Birds of Paradise as a cozy, vintage radio drama?
