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 ^_^

Goodness, that's beautiful! There's such a variety of textures, colors, and patterns, but they all work so well together.

Mononoke IS pretty awesome. The Bakeneko arc from Ayakashi was also my favorite.

This style inspires me. These colours are well done and besides, they have this original Japanese atmosphere. I cannot say, that spring is my favourite season, but simply this drawing makes me feel of japanese young girls, who are meeting the spring from blooming sakura trees in kimono. (I know, my comment is flashy, but i just have a lot of emotions in this moment)

Is this like kusuriuri's other personality where he's in another planar and he can choose to be a healer/medicine seller or to be a slayer?

Oh, it's not your fan concept of Kusuriuri that can choose between being a healer or a slayer?

This is so utterly beautiful It looks spectacular, and all the details are amazing. I really like Mononoke too, especially all the beautiful patterns that remind me of a woodblock print in the show. Which is why I'm wondering, is Haru from the show itself? Because I thought I saw all the episodes but I'd have remembered him i think. Or is he an OC? Either way, he and the picture are gorgeous!

This is stunning! He really is pretty character. ^^ You captured the style of Mononoke really well, I love it; it still is an anime, but has a woodblock/scroll type feel to it. I'm not sure what to call it, but the style is lovely! Beautiful work! (and I see Kusuriuris kimono/outfit in the left corner *-*).

Lol congrats on the DD ^^ Lol didn't realize you gotten one of this piece til someone filled me on. You really made Haru so beautiful. He's everything I pictured him to be. I'm so happy everyone likes him in your style of art.
