Description
A thank you drawing for of our favorite character Tayuya from the anime and manga Naruto.
Not too much to say except I really enjoyed working on this from start to finish. I'd like to line and properly color it eventually, but for now I shaded all of it in pencil.
Very much inspired from listening to 'I talk to the wind', by King Crimson. I tried to picture Tayuya playing to the music, and helped me imagine a subdued withdrawn side of Tayuya I wish existed, but unfortunately never saw.
Anyway, very fun and a pleasure to draw!

Thank you. It's hard enough playing a flute, let alone on one leg

You even don't imagine how I like it! Tayuya looks here like a lonely wayfarer or ninja (of course she's already a ninja!), who's exploring new, unknown lands. She doesn't know what she could expect, but even if she finds an enemy on her way - she's not a helpless woman. She has many kind of weapons (including her flute) and of course her own strength!
In other words - excellent work!
