Description
Listen as the wind blows from across the great divideVoices trapped in yearning Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion and solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?
And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I wipe away the tears Just close your eyes, dear
Through this world I've stumbled so many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word To find the truth enslaved
Oh you speak to me in riddles And you speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath Your words keep me alive
And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear
Into this night I wander It's morning that I dread
Another day of knowing of the path I fear to tread
Oh into the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride
Nothing stands between us here And I won't be denied
And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear
I'll hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I wipe away the tears Just close your eyes
--"Possession" by Sarah McLachlan It's one of the most beautiful songs out there, so you should DL it and listen if you haven't heard it before.
The lyrics have Kikyou's picture all over them...so I finally decided to draw her...
I really like how this came out...and I think it's one of my best pictures yet.

Hehee. I almost think I lucked out on her face. It took almost no time at all. Like...two or three minutes.
But yeah...thanks for the compliment!

I love this piece for not only Sarah-sama's lyrics (which I have the mp3 of! Go me!) but for the art, which is just amazing.

You are right about Sara's lyrics and the song being beautiful. I actually have this CD ((stumbling towards extacy)) and I couldn't agree more on how they fit Kikyo.
I love the picture and the looks on the characters faces. Although I dislike Kikyo, this picture makes is so I can't help but feel bad for her...Well done!

Love the song. So perfect for her... great art, you're so awesome!

DIE KIKYOU! FRIGGIN...FRAGGIN...fr...grrrr.....
Ahem. I'm sorry. I don't really like her. Besides, I feel bad for her. She can't live in the world because she isn't really alive anyway, she can't have Inuyasha (because let's face it, he's thinking more about Kagome) and she'll live forever in misery, and that is why SHE SHOULD DIE! STAY DEAD!
Great work!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Words can't begin to describe your artistic talents but their faces are absolutely adorable. Kikyo's so heartflet and Inuyasha's so Questioning. it's absolutely beautiful and worthy of a fav+. your art speaks to me nilla! -Aseret Yuna

I love that song...this is really beautifully done, it has a soft mood and is wonderfully colored. I really love how you did his hair. The style of the profiles is really adorable, I love the subtle differences in their faces. My only critique would be that the fingers on her right hand go too far into the palm by a bit.

SLKSDJFKJSDFBLAH. o__o; This looks so amazing. The coloring looks totally gorgeous! Even more than that! I'm in love with Kikyou's hair.. and she has an angelic look- I think it's a nice idea. She goes with the song so much; and by the way, I just love the song! Anyway, Inuyasha's expression is wonderful; it's his eyes that I adore.
The BG is great- very natural and simple! It has a great look to it!
The souls are a nice touch too!
definately. This is a beautiful pic.
And excuse my bad grammar. I just slap semi-colons in my comments to make it look neater.
P.S. You did a fine job fixing Kikyou's hand (from the sketch)! I think you should make the shading there a little softer, though. The way it is now makes it a little difficult to see her whole hand clearly.

Oh my God. this is amazing. I absolutely HATE Kikyo... and her and InuYasha being together... but this picture OWNS!! My fooking God. You really outdid yourself. You made everything so clean...which seems to be really not you.
lol. But it's so beautiful! I love the colors and the glowiness effect you did!! I say the best part about this... is Kikyo's pants, and her hair. I am absolutely in love with her hair and their clothes. Her hand looks a bit funky now that I look at it, but this picture is so amazing. And even though this is going against myself with this picture being a kik/inu pic... I'm faving it. Strictly on how amazing it is.
...YOU. ROCK. MY. WORLD.

your drawings are getting better and better
the thing I like in it is the choice of colors and blue shades
It really feels like the souls ( or firefiles ^^ ) reflect on the characters ...
and the soft coloring style, soft folds, and characters expression make me love this pic

i dunno why you all hate her, she's a deeply tragic character. i feel a great amount of pity for kikyo, she's often a subject of my art, though i very rarely draw couples, i've never draw her with inuyasha... and of course, i support inuyasha and kagome 1 million times more than kikyo. But everyone knows he won't pick kikyo, surely..... his place is in the world of the living with kagome, and he knows that
anyway.... Nillia... never cease to amaze me girl. i dunno why you say adding this pic lowers your chances of winning. cos you'll win hands down :S
poor kikyo *sigh*
can you imagine what you'd had to say to her when she was a little kid?
baby kikyo: 'i wonder what i'm gonna be like when i'm older?'
me: 'um.... you're gonna come into possesion of an evil jewel, you fall in love with a half-demon who's part dog, another demon tricks you, and you die, thinking he one you loved slaughtered you for the evil jewel.
later, another demon plucks you from hell and brings you to life, only to find, your love is now with another woman, who, incidentally, is you re-incarnated, but hey, she's not a patch on your beauty and power, actually, that just makes it worse. Your soul cannot forgive him, so you loathe him and love him, waiting to kill the one who pitted you against each other, so finally you can rest in peace.
baby kikyo : o_O WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
me: yeah i know, let it all out... shuuuush. *pat*
me : oh, and you also share a soul with the woman who created the jewel... didn't she ever right royally make sure you'd never be happy? sheesh.

My god that is a beautiful picture to go with a beautiful song.
The clothes are fantastic and Kikyo's expression is so...so human for once. If e'er there was a person born to draw Kikyo as if she has a soul residing within her earthen body, 'twas you, Nillia.

Wow, this is REALLY good! I love how Inuyasha looks so... startled almost. And how his outfit flows over his hands so he looks stunned a bit. ^^ It's very dramatic
Although I'd like Kagome to come from around the corner and bean Kikyo with an arrow. . . Yeah well

Did you read the new chapter, 276? It was Kikyou-centric and though admittingly she isn't my favorite character, I have a begruding affection for her. I know about the hang ups Inuyasha has over her (it's been less than a year that he was woken up, right?), but their interaction is still far from purely platonic, in my opinion. This isn't making any sense...

I must agree that this is indeed a very well done picture...Possession is the song that really got me hooked on Sarah MacLachlin ^_^ LOVE that song.
While I'll always be a kagome/inuyasha fangirl, this is a very sweet, very lovely picture ^_^ Their expressions, their clothes..nicely done!

rurounitriv [2004-09-10 23:34:51 +0000 UTC]
Very nicely done. Composition is very good, it really pulls the eye to their faces. The only thing is that it seems a little stiff, somehow, and the light seems off. But then, with that many different light sources, and they're all at different angles and the blue tones... very tough to tell. The stiffness... hm. I think it's the fact that everything else is so curved, and then there they are, and there's a lot of straight lines to them... Inuyasha's hair is lifted straight back, the clothing hangs in (mostly) straight lines, etc. Eh, I don't know. It's very good, but it's not quite right, and I can't tell what exactly it is that has me thinking that it could be better.
...don't you hate it when I take you at your word about the advanced critique? I probably ought to take advantage of that option myself. It certainly improved my Fluffy pic.
