WanyudoA flaming cart wheel with the grimacing head of a man at its center that was said to roll itself from downtown Kyoto at dusk and up into the mountains by dawn. The Wanyudo is extremely dangerous. Anyone who crosses its path will be torn to pieces and even looking at it risks having your soul torn out of your body or being struck with a sudden deadly fever. If the Wanyudo passes by your home the best thing you can do is hide with your eyes shut tight and stay away from any windows. Oddly enough, the most famous story of the Wanyudo is about a person who looked at it and survived. But it’s also a story that proves that it’s capable of far worse than simply killing you on the spot.There once was a woman who was curious enough to sneak a peek at the Wanyudo as he rolled by. When she saw him he looked just as he had been described but she noticed a pair of tiny legs dangling from his mouth. Then the Wanyudo suddenly locked eyes with her and said, “You shouldn’t be looking at me! You should be looking at your child!” The woman the turned to her sleeping child behind her and was horrified to find that his legs had been torn off.I made this multi media Wanyudo as part of an art collaboration. I have two Patreon posts about the process of making it that you can see for as little as one dollar. The first post is shows how I did the original drawings in Procreate before carbon copying them onto physical media. The second post is the whole process of putting it together from carbon copies to inks to paints to more inks to more paint and more inks and then more paints and more inks and also paper cut outs.For more of my yokai art, check out Cattype.net.
