If you’ve seen my previous 30 or so posts here on instagram you probably know I spent most of October doing two yokai related art challenges- yokaitober and Ayokaiaday. I forgot to mention that I made posts for both challenges on my website Cattype.net (not .com, remember that) and that I made elaborate header images for both of them. So I should probably post them here.

This is the header for my Yokaitober post. Here’s the link to it.

The background pattern for this and the Ayokaiaday post was made by taking a twitter bird I made for something else and copy/pasting it a bunch. Maybe I replacing the @ with a # would’ve been more apt but I worked hard enough on the actual posts, I didn’t want to spend too much time on the headers. Drawing a # was a smidge too far apparently.
