#dust sprites

Felt like drawing a Shaman with some Dust Sprites.

I love these little guys ✨✨✨✨

Part I

SUSUWATARI

This little fellas appeared first in My Neighbor Totoro and later on in Spirited Away. They change a bit from movie to movie, but they're essentially the same creatures: spirits made out of dust.

They are featured in Spirited Away as workers, moving coal across the boiler room. They have tiny little arms and legs and a timid nature. But if you are a good person, they won't bother at all with you presence.

Oh, and they eat candies... that's kinda cute.

In My Neighbor Totoro they inhabit the abandoned house the protagonists moved into, floating in the air near the corners of the rooms or directly attached to the walls. They seem to hate light and intruders.

The only way they will leave your house is if you're a good person. So be a good person, pls.

(Btw, no susuwatari was injured during this post, they're literally made out of dust, if you crush 'em, they will reform back again).
