I would love to see a Baku, Kitsune (including a 9 tail version), Tankuki (Raccoon dog), and Kirin. More Asian mythological figures in general would be wonderful.

    Oh! Yes! I second the motion!

    I am engaged in a project illustrating a different version of "Spirited Away", and could use some interesting Japanese Shinto creatures, funny ones and scary ones. At present, I am stuck with using 3D for the human and humanoid characters and painting in the strange creatures of the Yuya (bath house). I'll be one of your first customers! ;-)

    I'd like to have Ningyo :). And those little guys with big bellies and hungry mouths, I forgot their names (old...).

    Another reason to hope they update the Millenium Cat, which is getting rather dated at this point. You might get a Bakeneko out of the current Big Cat 2, but a Nekomata with its multiple tails and bipedal posture is a real pain with the current sets.

    Sparky is doing a kirin morph for the new horse from Hivewire. There are images over there in one of the threads. Sorry I can't provide a link...
