This picture is based on the official art of Ushio and Tora, one of the rare anime to feature a spear protagonist! Also one of my favourites of the 90s era mangas. Ever since I saw the official art, I wanted to draw an Undyne version of it. Super glad of how this one turned out.

Undyne is where Ushio would be, and the Star is the beginning of Tora’s lightning strike. Spoofing official pictures is a good practice to learn composition, poses, and other things.

MAPPA made a modern adaptation of Ushio and Tora in 2015. I definitely recommend a watch if you like yokai shows.
