Kuchisake-onna (lit. "slit mouthed woman") is one of the Yokai's with a very tragic story.
She once was a beautiful, young woman that lived in a Japanese village. People told her all the time just how pretty she was.
Being married to a samurai, she started a love affair with a noble soldier. When her husband found out, he asked the soldier in anger, "Why my wife?", to which the soldier replied "For she is the most beautiful woman in the village." The samurai found the soldier to be very honest and reasonable. Once at home, he took his sword upon his wife's face, slitting her mouth from ear to ear, in an attempt to take away her beauty. Soon after, she killed herself and was banished to eternity of avenging her own pain.

Instead of portraying Kuchisake-onna as the vengeful spirit we so often see her, I wanted to show her as the young, vulnerable girl I imagined her to be when I first read about her story.

Here's a close up of my Kuchisake-onna. You can read about her story in my previous post.
I'll also try to share some process images of my Yokais, let me know if that's something you'd like to see (and can someone please tell me into which video format I have to convert gifs so I can share them on instagram )

If I had #abs they'd be here now. Yeah you have to get lean enough for them to show, but I'm lean enough to see they could use some hypertrophy. So year of the abs it is because got nothing better to do when I'm still benching heavier than I can squat or dead because my body is a #frail bitch. So let's call this a before.
