Title:
"Mori no Otoshimono" means something like "Lost of the Forest," I guess. Normally "Otoshimono" means an object that was dropped and lost, but I've used the kanji for "person" in place of "object," so here it means something complicated and ambiguous at best. That's what I get for experimenting. But not to worry - localization will most likely resolve this in an accurate and appropriate manner, like they always do.

Character:
Anyhow, the nameless old man (whom I shall call the Otoshimono) in this picture wanders endlessly through a Nevermorning <strike>Wood</strike> Forest in search of things or people so that he can eat them. It is in your best interest to find your lost possessions (or be found) before the Otoshimono does. He's nearly blind, which helps, but his lantern is able to guide him towards the lost, so that kind of sucks for you.

EDIT:
If ever he meets you, he will ask if you are lost. If you answer "Yes," he will promptly eat you. If you answer "No," he will leave and you'll be left in the dark and possibly starve to death. The correct answer is to say "No - I have lost my Way and am looking for it. Have you seen it?" to which he will answer no, but will be then be intrigued. He will then shamble off in search of it so he can eat it before you. Fortunately, he is unaware that he cannot eat intangible concepts, so if you follow behind him, he will unwittingly lead you out. Clever clever.

Artist's Comments:
It's been a long time since I drew and submitted anything, and the first time since getting a new laptop, so I'm glad to do so. I'd probably have much rather enjoyed drawing a gurl instead, but at the same time I don't want my gallery to become chock-full of repetitive material. I don't want to give a critic grounds to say "All he draws are young pretty girls," but rather "John Su draws young pretty girls, but also on occasion a hideous old man. He appears to have no direction and is confused as to what he is trying to accomplish, and might as well be taking shots in the dark. I will vote for John Su for president."

On a more relevant note, I think I got sloppy. Staff needs more texture in its shading.
