   Ooo, this is stunning! I love black-and-white art in general, but in this case it works extra well because it suits the snowy landscape perfectly. I love the way you've drawn the Yuki-onna's hands throughout; they're so animated and emotive, and somehow both inviting and threatening at the same time.

   The skulls at the bottom of the second page are so eerie, especially the ones you've drawn from below so that the foramen magnum is in view. Creepy, really gave me chills!

   The final page is gorgeous with the flowing hair and cloth as well as the falling snow. Also, I love how typically calm and unperturbed he is!

   Stunning! I love the skulls practically falling off the page so much and the medicine seller is as pretty as ever.

   Wow, I was already excited when I saw the tags and I'm just blown away by how incredible this is! First of all I love that you chose yuki onna, it's so cool to see the Medicine Seller in a wintery snowy environment (and it works SO well in greyscale!) and I've never forgotten watching the yuki onna section of Kwaidan at an impressionable age, among other things :D I really got a sense of her movement through the panels, starting from behind the Medicine Seller and creeping around him, how she approaches him at first in a way that seems almost modest and then begins to wind around him and rise up in height as her sinister purpose becomes clear. That second page with the skulls, brr, amazing! And you've done such a fantastic job with the Medicine Seller himself, unflappable and elegant as always!

   Thank you so much for creating for me, every panel is just so gorgeous and evocative and I know I'm going to come back and revisit this gift many, many times <3

    This is GORGEOUS! I love the flow of her hair, and the skulls, and the geta especially, but all of it really.

    This is an absolutely amazing recreation of what I'd call a more manga style; from the structure of the dialogue bubbles to the dotted gradients for shading... there's such a lovely flowing construction to the panels as well!

    This is absolutely stunning. The skulls, and the flowing strands of hair, and that last panel when she's draping the blanket around his shoulders... Just gorgeous.

    This is gorgeous. The black and white works so well with the snowy setting, and the way you've drawn the hair is beautiful, and the skulls are lovely addition, hinting at the sinister nature of the Yuki-onna, even though she appears calm and reassuring. And what a pretty ghost she is, too.

    Oh this. This is. This is gorgeous. I'm going to stare at this for hours. The details and the emoting of the yuki-onna with her hands and clothes and HAIR (!!!), and of course the Medicine Seller so calm and unruffled through it all! I love his umbrella lol. And you did such an incredible job of somehow conveying all his COLOR, even though this is entirely in black and white, I can't explain it but I can SEE the vivid shades in him even here. You captured him perfectly. I'm really going to come back to this so often to look at it, the atmosphere is just....wowowow. <333 Thank you for sharing this with us! <3

    I wonder if, from her own peculiar standpoint, the Yuki-Onna sees herself as offering compassion and mercy.

    I didn't notice the skulls on the first look. Spooky!

    The level of detail and atmosphere packed into the scenery is amazing.
