Sooo...Just because I want to start filling this blog up more, I'm going to start posting sketches I've made every so often(mostly just the ones I'm proud of phph), starting now :D
This one was really quick, only 13 minutes, and it's a bit of a redraw of an image I made of Masakaki...Maybe back in 2022, I think??
I'm planning on redoing another drawing I made in the past, since I've really grown since then and I want to show off my progress :]]
(Note: By now I privated the post with the original drawing of this, but I wonder if anyone remembers it? 🤭)
Omfg I'm supposed to be asleep but then my brain jerked me awake and said "Hey! Make this! It'll be soon funny" and tbh, it actually turned out how I wanted it to

GUOC
THE FAMILY CREST (KAMON) OF THE DAIGO CLAN,
HINAKO’S BLOODLINE, ORIGINATING IN HINGASHI AND CONSISTING OF VENERATED WARRIORS AND ONMYOJI.
HINAKO IS ANGELIC; FEW THINGS WAVER HER SAINTLY DISPOSITION OR SUNNY AURA.
SHE STANDS UNDAUNTED IN THE FACE OF THE UNKNOWN AND THE UNSEEN.
THE PRIEST AIMS TO ALWAYS BE A FRIEND WHEN REASONABLE AND LOVES TO SHARE A FRESHLY BREWED POT OF TEA, AND SHE IS KNOWN TO BE MORE RATHER OUTGOING TO THOSE WHO HAVE BUILT CLOSER BONDS WITH HER.
DESPITE THIS, SHE IS NOT SOMEONE WHO SHOULD BE TRIFLED WITH, AS A SKILLED MAGE AND, WHEN BACKED INTO A CORNER, A FIERCE COMBATANT.
ALSO TRAINED IN HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT AND SWORDPLAY, AND ALLEGEDLY LENDING TO HER AURI HERITAGE, HINAKO HAS A MORE PRONOUNCED PHYSIQUE THAN MAY BE
EXPECTED AT A GLANCE FOR A PRIEST OR CAREER HEALER.
BURN SCARS AROUND
SCALES ON THE TORSO
SLASH SCAR NEAR
THE SHOULDER
LITTLE HORNS!
(CHARM POINT)
THE LIMBALS OF HINAKO’S EYES GLOW WITH AN INTENSITY WHEN CHANNELING A SURFEIT OF AETHER (QI).
CONVERSELY, IF HINAKO IS SIGNIFICANTLY DRAINED OF ENERGY OR DEPRESSED, THE LIMBALS MAY APPEAR
DARKER, MORE SUBDUED.
HINAKO IS A SHRINE PRIEST (SHINKAN) VERSED IN SHUGENDO, A SYNCRETIC DISCIPLINE THAT CAN BE LIKENED TO WESTERN CONJURY AND WHITE MAGIC, WHILE EMPLOYING LOCAL PRINCIPLES OF GEOMANCY AND ONMYODO. KEY TO HER PANOPLY ARE OFUDA - PAPER TALISMANS THAT CAN SERVE MYRIAD FUNCTIONS INCLUDING FORMING BARRIERS.
IN COMBAT, HER OPEN HAND IS USUALLY POISED FOR SEQUENTIAL GESTURES (MUDRAS) AND TO EQUIP OFUDA.
MAGATAMA - A SOUL CRYSTAL OF JADE BEARING AN ANCIENT SYMBOL AND THE WISDOM OF THE PAST. IT IS GRANTED TO EVERY OFFICIATED SHINKAN.
OFTEN PLAYING AN ACTIVE ROLE IN VARIOUS RITUALS AND DIVINATIONS, HINAKO TYPICALLY KEEPS HERS ON
A STRING OF JUZU BEADS.
MASAKAKI - ADORNED WITH THE LEAVES OF THE SACRED SAKAKI TREE, THE SIGNATURE SHAKUJO OF HINAKO WAS ADAPTED FROM TRADITIONAL RITUAL DISPLAYS, BEFORE COMING TO A MORE ACTIVE USE IN THE HANDS OF SHRINE PRIESTS - AN INFLUENCE OF TRAVELING ASCETIC MONKS.
THE PRINCIPLES OF OFUDA WILL VARY. IN THIS STYLE THERE ARE “ANCHORS” AND “BRIDGES”, GREATER AND LESSER OFUDA. THE ANCHORING OFUDA BEARS THE NAME OF A PATRON KAMI, AND STAMPS WITH THE NAMES OF THE SHRINE AND THE USER.
THE BRIDGING OFUDA ARE OFTEN WRIT PLAIN WITH THE SYMBOLS “TEN”, “CHI” AND “JIN”.
