Rokurokubi is a Japanese youkai.
Recently, I try to draw Japanese-style monsters and Western-style monsters alternately.
If you have any ideas for monsters that are in demand for you, let us know in the comments.

*I increased the size of the illustration a little.
If you have any dissatisfaction, such as the resolution is too small to read the characters, please report it as soon as possible.

自在に首を伸ばすことができる妖怪。
人間が蛇に変化する途中の状態とされ、白くうねる首にその特徴が表れている。

胴体から離され、宙に浮いた頭部は、本体との距離に一切関係なく、自由自在に動き回る事ができる。

ろくろ首は、攻撃の手段の一つとして、眼前の敵を生きたまま丸呑みにし、無力化する術を持っている。

呑まれた獲物は、長く強靭な食道の中で何時間にも渡って締め上げられながら、遠方にいる本体の胃袋へと送られる。

最期は、人間とさほど変わらない狭い胃の中に無理やり押し込められ、粘り気のある消化液に浸食されながら、ゆっくりとこの世から消えてゆく。

My best translation attempt, using Google Translate and jisho.org:

---

A youkai who can stretch her neck freely. Her form resembles a state midway between a human and a snake, which is clearly visible in her white undulating neck.

The head, which is separated from the torso and floats in the air, can move around freely regardless of its distance from the main body.

Rokurokubi can incapacitate enemies in front of her by swallowing them alive as her main method of attack.

The swallowed prey is squeezed slowly down to the distant body's stomach, clenched tightly for hours in a long, tough esophagus.

At the end, it is forcibly pushed into a narrow stomach that is not much different from a human's, and slowly disappears from the world while being eroded by the sticky digestive juices.

Ooooh really like the concept of this one for sure, tight long necks/throats especially are a very big favorite of mine<3

As for some other monsters I'd love to see...hm..not exactly the most creative mind there but I certainly would love to see more insectoid monsters being featured, such as bee/mantis/spider/centipede/butterfly oriented/inspired Monster-Girls. To name a few examples. Otherwise, a fairy/pixie one could be fun. Small/micro pred being a huge fave of mine.

Thank you for the opinions of many monsters.
There are many types of Western monsters, and all of them are familiar to us Japanese.

Small vore is good. I would like to draw illustrations other than samesize from now on.
