Description I am, yet again, an elf for

Secret Santa #3, OC Haru for *LethalPepsi

He yes he is so pretty oAo! i just assumed his name means spring I feel like I was lured to draw him, because I just finished watching Mononoke couple of weeks before working on this, so the hype is still there (Not Ghibli's Mononoke Hime, but モノノ怪).
I'm trying to capture the unusual feel but still make it appealing... worst part is figuring out how a junihitoe (the kimono he's wearing) works OTL;;; there might be mistakes, so many references in my folder now haha.

Some advertising ahead.
That series, I LOVE IT!!! very much T-T even though I'm not into horror/mystery genre, but the characters, the style, the pattern, the cinematography agh can't say enough!
If you know what I'm talking about, my favourite story arcs are Umibōzu and the initial Bakeneko from Ayakashi (that big first impression). If you feel like checking it out, it's a different kind of anime and might be not for everyone because of its 'mature' story, but it's really worth a try ^^ (or if you're into Takahiro Sakurai's voice LOL he sounds great)

With that all said, it's a fun experience. I hope you like it, and Mononoke if you see it ^_^

Utterly gorgeous, and very Mononoke-like... and is that the Medicine Seller's sleeve I see in the top left corner?

Though I am a little confused - why the junihitoe?

I love Mononoke, but I hate having to add the "not the Ghibli one" disclaimer every time I talk about it....

It's so good to see Mononoke things here. This is a beautiful picture! I love how all your compositions include backgrounds. Your gallery is full of images that look very colorful and complete!

Thank you very much! It can't be helped people are more familiar with the Ghibli one. But once they see this, it'll be unforgettable xD

OMFG Someone else watches that series! I am so happy! And you captured the striking art style of "Mononoke" so beautifully!


The Medicine Seller would fit right in here. ^_^

I think it is underrated, well, because of the theme and story of course. But it is without a doubt beautiful and mesmerizing and fresh and, dark yet have that hint of happy ending? I guess xD I love it!

I can't say how much I love Mononoke. I barely can't stand call it anime, cuz for me it's a goddamn piece of art. Just like yours. Thanks for bringing this to life.

I watch the whole series twice including the Ayakashi Bakeneko LOL!! I might re watch it again because it's just that good ;V; It's rare for me to rewatch an anime so many times xD And this is so friggin beautiful!! especially Tamaki's eyes and the patterns, and the scales and everything LOL!

IKR!!! I seriously love that anime LOL! And your art is so pretty! Especially this one, because I like mononoke lol /shots
DEM EYES! SO PRETTY! And may I know the lineart settings you used here? It's so soft yet hard at the same time LOL! I dunno how to describe it xD And the colours *q* You matched it perfectly!

hakumo In reply to irapefoodz [2012-04-14 08:58:20 +0000 UTC]

sorry for the late reply. I believe I was in SAI for the lineart, just the usual pen setting, did not change much. If photoshop, the brush tool at 100% hardness would work fine too. Thank you for the generous compliment

It's okay You mean the default settings? Thank you very much! I'll try it And you're very welcome.

OMG I LOVE Mononoke! You know in the train arc after the guy is thrown off? I saw a flash of color and after twenty minutes of attempting to press the stop button at just the right moment I discovered that if you pause it just right~ you can see his body on the wall.

Yes quality, each story,to mention the visual references and characters,what a pity that is short.
My favorite is Noppera-bo and felt a terrible fear of Nue.xDD
