@natsume-ss @marimondart here's your gift for Natsume Secret Santa! I decided to go with the prompt of Natsume seeing the kimono.

#natsume yuujinchou #natsumess2024 #natsume takashi #the exorcists are there but they're not really the focus so i won't tag them #i had fun making this! i want to do more watercolor natsuyuu art now...#if you can't tell this is imitating bilibin's style #i love his art and i'm still striving towards a better replication...#also sorry for the wait! i had to wait until after christmas for a scanning place to be open (i don't have a scanner at home)

Loquat nails!!! I didn't get the chance to take a picture yesterday so here they are 🥳

#natsume yuujinchou #horrible exorcists #i guess #anyway the manga panel bits are pretty rough 😩 the brush i have is not very fine oh well #i cant take a pic of both of my hands at once but if you go from the matoba bench thumb-> the loquat wall thumb #it like zooms in on the tree until you get to the open fruit which i guess reveals the memory of loquats...#it was not preplanned but sort of emerged as i was painting #i like the loquat nails on their own i think the colors look nice and it makes me want to do more like seasonal fruit/plant designs #maybe plums or something...?

i dont like ramble posting on here too much but i wanna say im so sorry for not doing any hexfest posting TT_TT i really want to participate and ive had ideas rattling around my brain for a few months that i was saving for now but i'm super low energy atm and also became fixated on translating a manga so i'm in my hole... OTL I WANT TO DRAW!!!!!! I will try to spit something out during this month at least. I'm always keeping those two in my mind

#the manga is ao no tatsuki btw sadly no english translation atm but it's so incredibly good #like better than i thought it would be when i started #and i think a lot of you would like it ToT so im like weighing the idea of putting out a translation against the fact that i'm one person #and i'd feel bad if i couldnt keep it going

I'm back with more Mononoke movie obi analysis! The movie team has been putting out a lot of clips on their various accounts, so I've managed to get a more full look at the back of Kusuriuri's obi! This is my proposal for the structure of the knot, but if anyone has any other ideas, I'd love to see them.

I had to make a little paper mockup to figure this out lol:

However, because it's small and paper, it probably is behaving differently than a large, fabric obi. So I'm not sure how well this knot would work with a real obi, but if someone has the means to try it out, please let me know! Something that was interesting and made this a little frustrating was that both ends of Kusuriuri's obi are free, whereas it seems like for most established types of obi musubi, one end will be tucked into a loop shape or otherwise hidden away, and the other will have a free end (Even many examples of the men's obi knot I included a picture of above. I purposely found one that looks more like the knot I did, but in many cases you will fold one tail into a loop so there's only one free tail). This is also a feature of TV Kusuriuri's obi:

It's a little hard to tell because of the low resolution, but I'm sure you've seen enough of him by now lol; his obi is tied into a bow with both ends hanging loose. I've seen his knot compared to a tateya musubi, and they are visually similar, but from what I can tell, a tateya musubi is structured like I described, where one tail is folded into a long, rectangle shaped loop, and the other is wrapped around the center of it to squeeze it into a bow.

See how there are no hanging tails? It's because both tails are making the whole bow. Contrast that with Kusuriuri's, where the tails are dangling because the loops of the bow are made by the upper sections of the tails. His obi is tied like you'd tie a shoelace, basically, whereas a tateya musubi is like a bow you'd see on very nice gift wrapping.

Anyway, I also was able to glean more about the pseudo-obijime:

Previously, I thought maybe both white cords were connected to each other and looped through the knot, as shown on the top left. However, these two shots (and others not included) seem to disprove that. The left shoulder cord starts from underneath the obi, loops around the back, under the right arm, and ends in between the two layers of the obi. The waist cord starts and ends under the ohashori (waist fold). What it's attached to, I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it's anchored to the smaller obi/sash that's worn under the actual one.

#YIPPEE i think i can call this case closed pretty much but lmk what you think!#i hope this can help cosplayers or artists who are trying to figure out wtf is going on with his clothes #though realistically cosplayers are just gonna use a premade obi i'm sure lol #mononoke #kusuriuri #kusuriuri 2024 clothing investigation
