Q: Do you have any Godly OC's?
Zakra & Tazuki are Kitsune Yokai based from Japanese folklore.
Linda's other half is a Demonic Demigod Spirit that wants to destroy humanity, but ended up becoming their guardian because a human change her view on mortals and their society.
Folklore Warriors '98 is a Manga that i did for the SilentMangaAward 14. And won a Excellence Runner-Up. 🏆🎌
All these characters are inspired by a legit Brazilian foklore creature/ mythos, and the designs are made to remind the concepts of a 90's Arcade Fighting Games. 🕹️
I want to introduce to all of you another Japanese-based folklore OC, her name is Zakra Izumi.
She's Tazuki Matsubara's partner, and she's also a Kitsune like him, as well.
