SciFi and Fantasy Art Kuri-Ningyo by Katey ´Twisted Ophelia´ Riley

I studied Geisha last year for an art project of mine and Kuri is the result of my delving back into it. She's a more twisted version of Maiko (young followers of Geisha) with a more personal twist. Kuri gets her name from a type of japanese theatre puppet, the KaraKuri-Ningyo and as with nearly all of my pics she has a story. Kuri's a kind of living doll, controlled by a dead spirit resurrected at the time of Imprerial Japan...a kind of twist on the term 'hungry ghost' too I suppose. I don't have anything on her yet in Wyvern's but rest assured once I'm through researching this, you're sure to see her again... (oh and take no notice of her nose...she was a failed attempt at a felidae and the elf ears...just seemed to fit somehow!)
