* Jigami
* Gozu Mezu
* Onmyo-ji fortune teller (4)
* Onmyo-ji shikigami battle summon

Is this a new nation or new units for Yomi/Shinuyama/Jomon?

Those look like Jomon stuff. They have a mage called Onmyo-ji, so perhaps these are variants?

It's no secret, KO said in our MP game thread (PPP) that he's working on Jomon and some Tien chi stuff

Onmyo-ji with shikigami is very common in japanese fictions and comics. It's a really cool idea to add it into DOM3:)

Gozu Mezu is basicly chinese mythology created by localized Buddhism. They are known by Japanese too but not as popular as in China. A introduction can be found in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ox-Head_and_Horse-Face. It should be a national summon shared by MA/LA Ti'en Ch'i and Shinuyama/Jomon.

I hope it makes a SC chassis so I don't need to put all my equipment on sea troll kings when playing Ti'en Ch'i. But according to the original mythology, Gozu Mezu are quite weak guardians and guides of the underworld:(

There will be two versions of the spell (TC and Jomon), differing in name only. The summons will be called Ox-head and horse-face. The Jomon version spell will go by the name Gozu Mezu.

I made some comments in the necronomicon thread, but I might as well do the same here, since it seems not everyone reads that thread :)

I'm mainly focusing on Jomonese stuff, but some critters might be summoned by Yomi or TC as well.

I've been drawing oriental dragons. Since I want their scales to be discernible they were quite time consuming. Every scale had to be individually placed pixel by pixel. I'm more or less finished with the basic form, but I need attack shapes and I want a slightly smaller tatsu as well. I'm also experimenting a bit with coloring.

I intend to do some myo-o and a couple of national kami summons and possibly a pretender or two. I also have some plans for a few buddhistically inspired divine spells and a monastic order.

Cool, looking forward to it. :)
