scarlett fever

Haven't actually watched the Ghibli movie, big Ghibli fan though so thanks for the lead. Going to go watch it now, may change my sculpt. My association with tanuki is as the drunk fool character, with large... There is even a restaurant where I've moved to called Tanuki's Cave which has a bunch of tanuki statues and is basically a sake bar.

Having said that there is a folklore tale to do with gold and a tanuki, but it's probably inappropriate to mention it here. Suffice to say if you google tanuki and gold you should get it.

Not that I'm aware of! Actually I was thinking golden malt whiskey, but it could also be golden ale or the sake with gold leaf in it. Was thinking of alcohol as fool's gold, but perhaps I'm being a bit obscure! It all seemed so obvious in my head... Going to have a barrel with gold liquid splashing out of it. Either way at least I'll get something else painted. Hopefully get my second WIP up tonight.
