*dies* God, I hate my internet. This is the third time I've attempted to submit this pic, but everytime I tried to the window gets hijacked and freezes. Oy vay...

I present to you a character from 's fanfic, Crimson Destiny, Red Soul : Tomoe Takatsuki. Her late mother was Toki Takatsuki and Tomoe, sadly does not know who her father is (but RK fans probably can guess who he is). Toki, btw, is the lovely younger kind sister of Gentatsu Takatsuki, the bishi funky-hair styled manslayer who's killed by Hitokiri Battousai in the Samurai X movie.

Ah...so that's why T-dono styled Tomoe's hair like that. She's like her uncle, in hairstyle and fighting skills. Ohhh! XD; Hey, I read chapters 19-20 before I saw the Samurai X movie. And woah, I'd love to read the meeting of her parents, how'd that happen? (And HOW could he not know he's got a daughter?! What he'd do? Do his business and run off to China right after??)

Anyhoo...

This Tomoe's beautiful like her aunt, but soo different otherwise. One, she's a fighter/priestess from the Hoseki Shrine in Kyoto (fictional shrine people! ). So there will be no pathetic attempts at stabbing on her part. She can kick your ass. Two, she's not exactly...a proper lady like her aunt...oh heck, she's got some wierd quirks that I know are gonna freak her father out when he finally meets her (he is, isn't he, T-dono? ) O_o;

Tomoe Takatsuki or Takatsuki-kun as Tsutomo Fugita so lovingly nicknamed her (squee! my inner fangirl is hoping they end up together, but my sanegirl says it's too early to tell for sure, so that's okay if they don't) is cool in my book for several reasons. She's a fighter who kicks ass, she's a shinto type priestess, she can argue with Tsutomo without backing down, she teases Shen Wang and Chizuru relentlessly , did I mention she kicks ass? She's rather shameless on many things, she cross-dresses (thus the "kun") and she's got a mysteriously xinfinity array of weapons under that cloak of hers. lol. SO I couldn't resist drawing her. Tho I hadn't meant to color her in such an ornate kimono. Eh, we'll say she's dressed up and ready to go to a festival.

ON THE PIC ITSELF

Squee, I was able to finish this pic rather quickly. I started on Friday and finished on Sunday morning, and that's cuz I had guests and places to go to. Friday I went online looking for Japanese fabric designs and found about 25 patterns that I liked. I ended up using five for Takatsuki's outfit here. I was going to make a simple kimono but then I used that pattern for her obi and just fell in love with it and went nuts trying to make the kimono look cool. I'm pretty happy with the bicolor obi tie I made, I had wanted it to look sorta exotic and less formal. I suppose she looks like a geisha now, but she's not, especially since she doesn't have the geisha makeup or whatever. But I like it enough. ^^

Let it be known that JB cannot color black eyes. I just can't. They look boring to me. Same thing with hair, thus why Takatsuki's hair is indigo. Tis my best impression of black hair. I can't help it, highlights won't let me. They OWN ME! I also took S-girl's advice and drew a shrine gate thing (forget what's called) in the background. The moon was accidental, and if I'd known I'd make a moon, I would've made it less HUGE. The butterflies, completely random but mystifying enough to fit the pic.

Hope you guys like, even if I took a shortcut method with this pic. Don't worry, someday I'll get the hang of them Japanese design patterns. At least I hope...eh, Enjoy! :3
