Description I have number one done. :0

Story (From Kwaidan): It's called "Mujina." And, as the story goes, an old man was walking along near a marsh of some sort when he stumbled across a young girl crying. He asked, "Are you okay?" and she moved a way from him, hiding her face and still crying. He asked again until, still crying, she finally stood up and turned to him, reviling her face to to be blank.

Afraid, the man ran until he met a Soba seller and told him his story. After laughing, the Soba seller says, "Oh, did she look something like this?" and begins to stroke his face, making his own features disappear.

Not really scary, but silly. :3 She was said to be dressed up like a girl from a well class family, but that wouldn't be any fun. I had to try and make her look spooky. <.<

Also...she was really easy to draw since she has no face. XD

P.S. Though the story is called, "Mujina," a mjina is a name for a raccoon dog( the one that plays tricks), which is why I put Noppera-bō on the picture. :3 (Thanks Wikipedia!)

Dear FumaOrangePie.

I would like to know if I could use your wonderful piece above as the cover for a short story I'm currently writing based on Mujina.
Your art is the best piece I have seen of a Noppera-bo. I understand however if you decline.

D.

Could you tell me a bit more about the project? (through messages or comments, either way is fine).

Oh it simply a short story I intend to post on Wattpad. Of course since the ghost in question has been beautifully drawn by you I thought I would ask.

It will be a story very true to the origins of the Noppera-bo. Crying on side of road, drawing a human in then surprise surprise.

Not sure if I will make it a bit more horrific at the end though, or the man will simply get away.

Oh, this is gorgeous! Each line is really beautiful. <3

Although I personally think that this story is a bit scary. I'm easy to scare, I suppose. D:
