my entry is based on tsurara-onna the stories i read said that she shows up outside men's doors in the wintertime, so i drew that part of the story. originally i wanted to draw what the man was seeing, including his arm and hand out of the corner of his eye, but i had no idea how to do that i used https://yokai.fandom.com/wiki/Tsurara-Onna and http://yokai.com/tsuraraonna/ for research thank you to the people who critiqued and @-_rin_- for hosting the contest! #art so while i was working on this (this paragraph is useless i just wrote it anyway), i exported the psd so that i could add the blur even though i knew i would have to redo it once i finished because autodesk can export things as psds but not open them. so i used photopea to blur stuff. but then autodesk got mad at me and reordered all my layers and deleted a few of them. luckily, i had the psd saved! except then i saved the blurred stuff in photopea which popped up a message saying "this will give photopea permission to edit untitled.psd until you close the tab! are you sure you want to save?" and i ignored that. so then i didnt have the unedited layers. and the layers i had blurred were all still saved unblurred in autodesk but i had also adjusted the position of tsurara-onna because when i flipped the canvas i realized she was tilted to the side, since photopea has layer grouping and autodesk doesnt. so i couldnt just export the five layers i needed and have them line up perfectly. photopea even lets you export the layers individually without having to hide all of the others manually aaaaaaa. so i used control z a bunch and it actually got me far enough back i think. but then i closed the tab even though it told me "your changes wont be saved!" because apparently i suck at reading chrome's warning messages :') but then i didnt feel like redoing all the shading and stuff so i just exported them even though they didnt line up perfectly and then used transform a bunch. transform is amazing and then once i finished i blurred everything a lot because the hands didnt look good and that's what blur is for, right? actually they still don't look good but lazy
