Yōkai Daizukai, an illustrated guide to yōkai authored by manga artist Shigeru Mizuki, features a collection of cutaway diagrams showing the anatomy of 85 traditional monsters from Japanese folklore.  Wicked.

Finally got around to finishing my city-destroying monster.  I have been adding to this drawing in my sketchbook since I got it back in June.  This will probably change a little more.  I would like to add a shadow under the monster… and possibly a few more touches of fire.
