Description There is a scene in Akira Kurosawa's movie Dreams that has stuck in my head since the first time I watched it. It is the first chapter where a little boy was stealing glances at a fox wedding procession, which is forbidden to humans and only takes place in a sun shower. It is a strange scene but I find it oddly inspiring and lovely.

Made as a tutorial painting for Digital Artist Issue #22: [link]
Go get it if you wanna see the process for this !

the details in the kimono are absolutely phenominal. The swirls of the wind, the woman's face, even the mask she holds, everything is emaculate. Absolutely astonshing. I love it.
