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 ^_^

Awesome! Shouldn't this be in the fanart category, though?

Thank you~ Ah I was thinking about that, but since it is a rendition of other's character based off the series I decided to put in drawing instead

Ah, I didn't understand it was a fan-character. I only watched the first episode of Mononoke, so I thought it was an official character.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Is this the Mononoke with a cat-man? The one with a manga?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is *LethalPepsi original character based on Mononoke...anime yet I know there's a manga too so might be the same. And he, the medicine seller, is a cat-man? I know he's not normal human at least xD

This is absolutely mesmerizing. I love the coloring style u used and the perfect blend of textures and patterns!
Also, I love the character's facial expression, so delicate and beautiful, yet dark and very mysterious. Definitely a great piece I must fave.
Note: Never seen Mononke, but it sounds like and anime I'd totally like so I'll look into it!

Ah. I feel your pain about the junihitoe. I drew one for a picture a while back and thought I was gonna die. D8
I found this site while I was researching, though, that was nothing but traditional Japanese prints. They were selling them or something, but they were great for reference too.

Ahaha it was pretty intense research @_@ I also ended up somewhere between shops or museum display lol. That site sounds great, do you remember what it is?
