Description
Spring = new beginings, rebirth, etc.Man, how much do I love those stories where Sesshoumaru and Kagome just happen to randomly run into each other in present day (in a city of almost 13M ppl)? :answer -> SO MUCH:
For the "Spring" contest over on , it's been ages since I've done a contest. It was also an opportunity to illustrate one of my favorite fanfic conventions AND do an illustration of "*insert favorite anime/manga couple* under the cherry blossoms" that is practically a requirement of every self-respecting anime/manga fanartist.
Also - LOL Sess' power tie.
Characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi.
*EDIT* This pic now has fic! KyuubiPandoraChan's story Power Tie? and Sakura Hanami by Miss Teak were inspired by this fanart
**EDIT2** - Thanks to everyone who voted for this, it won!!! *dances v. excitedly*
See my banner! by the wonderful *xAtratusLupinx

I can just see him dabbing on his concealer every morning - morning cup of coffee in one hand, cosmetic sponge in the other...
This was inspired by an amalgamation of fic (mostly one-shots) that all have a sort of similar overarching theme. I don't have any marked in my ficlist at this time, but now that this is posted I will certainly add links as I come across particularly good examples of the genre.
also - OMG SESS IN ONLY THE TIE AND CUFFS YESPLZ NOM NOM NOM. I want to draw it now...but it would def. be DA inappropriate

Wellllll.....if you frame it right, it'd totally comply with DA rules!
I actually totally want to see him with the coffee and concealer! That would be an epically awesome picture!

thank you, though it makes me a little sad that I might discourage anyone. I think contests are great because they make you challenge yourself to try new things.

Well, I did start on a sketch yesterday. Oddly enough, inspired by the awesomeness of this pic. It looks nothing like it, but it did give me inspiration after all. I didn't expect that. XD

sintar In reply to janey-jane [2010-04-24 15:47:22 +0000 UTC]
Ugh yeah....lol I do not compare to any of the great writers tho, and it's unfinished because life does that sometimes to fanfiction lol! It's on www.fanfiction.net/~sintar it's called Melodic Memory. I wrote it years ago, and it's well, if I ever get around to it, I'm going to fix it, or re-do it. I only brought it up because mine takes place in present time. You'd probably like my Labyrinth fic better, that one takes place in present time and it reads a little better. It sucks because I really enjoy writing, but when I see other peoples writings I just think, wow, I am not worthy haha.

At least you put your writing out there though, getting feedback and making yourself produce a finished product, it has to help anyone improve. I write but am too terrified to post anything.
I have you marked in my "to be read" list now

Love those intense golden eyes, and the way both their hair is blowing (but especially Sess's long ponytail This looks like it could definitely be a scene in a story--there's something about the way he's grabbing her wrist, and the expression on his face.

It sort of killed me to bind and shorten his hair because I sort of want to just wrap myself up in his pretty pretty bishi hair. But I kept it as long as possible because I know us fangirls LOVE it
And I'm glad it seems to tell a story - I've been working on trying to make my work more narrative, so thank you

Your colors absolutely scream "spring". I can't express how in love I am with this one. Really well done! I, too, love that power tie. Sesshoumaru in a suit is too tantalizing...Adore their expressions, and your lines
This is too brilliant

hehe, cufflinks

NekoYashaYoukai In reply to janey-jane [2010-04-24 02:27:07 +0000 UTC]
Probably.
I wouldn't hate yellow so much if it didn't make me look like I was dying or something when I try to wear it. *Has a pale/pastey complexion with tints of yellow in the undertone. CAN SOOOOOOO not pull of yellow, orange, or red in any shade.*
The cufflinks are EPIC

I know what you mean - I'm really pale with green and yellow undertones and blonde hair and yellow in any shade is the worst color in the world on me.

What's funny is that my mom has brown, which is the dominant trait, and my dad has a blue-ish hazel. My sister ended up with a yellow-y hazel eye color and I ended up with green. It's really cool, but weird at the same time.

Aw man, I love this.
Your cel-shading is nice. This picture looks like it could be from a SessKag animation or something. And Sesshomaru's moon shaped buttons and tie made me laugh.
Great, great pic.

thank you! I'm sort of a cel-shading newbie, so I'm still getting the hang of it. The "less is more" nature of it is something of a struggle for me.
heh - and I like working in little details that only people familiar with the canon material will get

I know what you mean; I tried cel-shading out, thinking it was going to be easy, but like you said, the limited shading is hard to work with... Yes, who could forget that honeycomb pattern and the blue moon?
