Komainu - Yojimbo. Komainu are large Yokai, similar to dogs, that are drawn to shrines. The alpha pair of male and female Komainu claim the shrine as their territory and protect it fiercely. By paying them proper respect, visitors and shrine personnel may freely enter and exit at their leisure under the Komainu pairs protection.

Moving forward I’d like to attempt more illustrations like this incorporating more figures. I did it more in my school work but I seemed to have drifted towards more singular compositions as I focused more on singular characters. Something to aim for in the future.

You can support my work by purchasing the Shikigami digital art book on my gumroad or, by sharing my work with your friends. The goal is to do more work like Shikigami on a regular basis so any thing helps.
