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*

yeah, most of these stories have some sort of explanation for why he doesn't have markings so that he won't stand out so much, i guess (because an insanely gorgeous, tall, silver-haired bishi wouldn't draw any attention on his own right?)

I love that Sesshy's staying true to the basics flowers&honeycombs for the WIN!
Oh I love this so much, I could stare at it forever, the color scheme is absolutely beautiful!
The image itself kinda writes it's own story, which I think is a great accomplishment. Looking at an image and really getting it.
I adore Sesshy's look of puzzled surprise. I imagine they were going to pass right by one another, when something about her caught his eye, and his hand just darted out to stop her from getting away. Really good job on nailing recognition, surprise and disbelief all in one beautiful perfect facial expression.

thank you! I've been trying to make my work more narrative (and less just "hey lookit this pretty lady") so that's good to hear. And your interpretation of what might have led up tot his moment is pretty much what I had in mind

Also, lolz, his tie and cufflinks.

heh - I'm really pleased that people are noticing the cufflinks. I like including little things like that in my pictures that are like little secret surprises...

Lovely! I believe we must also take time to lol at his cuff links!

From looking at the thumbnail size I thought it was a picture of Jareth and Sarah!
I don't know this fandom, but still admire this lovely work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aww, I should do something similar with Sarah and Jareth. Only Jareth would be looking a little less surprised and a little more devious I think

I saw a piece of twilight art the other day that was like that. I was just looking at it going - "this is SO pretty, WHY does it have to be Twilight art?!?!"

This is absolutely beautiful, it truly is!
Anyway, I love how you've taken the pattern from Sesshoumaru's feudal era outfit and added it to his modern clothing. (Power tie! lol. XD) And I just adore the little crescent moon cuff-links! I don't know why but I find them adorable. hehe.

I think you pretty much 100% interpreted it the way I was trying to draw it (seriously, I did a little dance when I read your comment - i was thrilled because there's always that doubt when you're drawing something that what's going on might be clear to you, but not to the audience).
hehehe...the cufflinks were a late addition, and I'm so ridiculously pleased over them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe. Well, your expressions and poses are always spot on. My mind doesn't have to work hard to imagine what's going on in the drawing: it just plays out in front of me as I look at it.
Just so you know, I've been stubbornly holding on to my Eyeshield 21 desktop wallpaper... until now. Now, this is my new wallpaper, and I don't see it changing any time soon.

hmmm, looks like somebody (even both of them?) didn't expect this meeting.
and both don't look overly pleased.
very nice contrast with the people in the background.

Thanks! It was a challenge to figure out how to make it look like their in a crowd without having them lost in the crowd. This was by far the most complicated photoshop piece I've ever done in terms of layers and layer effects etc. etc.

your people look really good, i do wonder what medium you are using,

thank you! this was done 100% in photoshop.

I loves those stories so much, too!! <3
And this is lovely! I love the soft colors.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the colors are SO spring-y, I had to keep asking people if they were too bright because I generally use such muted earthy tones (and my bff rolled her eyes at me and was like "they just look bright because you always use muddy colors"). I ended up really liking the overall color scheme though

this is absolutely exquisite...your line work is breathtaking, and Kagome is so beautiful! I can't believe how much detail you've given to everything...her purse looks real. I can almost feel the leather. Very, very nice job!

I'm particularly pleased with how Kagome came out - I feel like she ended up looking extra nice.
thank you!
