Description
Okay, I think this is acceptable as a final version. I have learned so much while working on this, I think now I have to go on and apply my newfound knowledge to other images.Thank you very much everyone for your suggestions and hints -- through your help this has become a much better piece than I could have ever managed alone.
While I can still see room for improvement, I have decided to draw the line here, otherwise I'll never start another picture again.
I will also do a desktop wallpaper version soon since a few people mentioned they'd like to have one.
About the picture: I wanted to do a married Sesshou/Kagome in a more courtly setting. This might be set in the far future where they have a large court and a lot of social and political responsibilities. This is them either unwinding from or getting ready for a day full of intrigue and veiled power play -- I wanted to capture an intimate moment on the edge between powerful miko/youkai ruler and their more private persona where they're simply a couple who are comfortable with each other.

its gorgeous just one thing... shes supposed to Marry Inuyasha not the brother who wants to KILL HER... I dunno im a sucker for the actual love romance between the two who are supposed to be together.. a bit too realistic for my taste .. bascially because anime is anime style for a reason but still amazing job I love how you did her hair. (sorry if that was a bit too harsh)

another beautiful picture, what is he holding? hair pins? out of curiousity, why are his nails so pointy? it seems to be the only sharp aspect of an otherwise incredibly soft picture

Sesshy is scary in this! *hides under bed* It's the blackness around his eyes. But who am I to complain bout a little thing like that, this is amazing! Kagome especially; she looks so real I literally expect to see her breathing! And, Oh my gosh LOOK at those hairpins! I can only conclude with WOW.

Good God...!!!
I don't support the pairing, I admit that. At first I was like, aaa this'll be terrible, Sesshomaru and Kagome, how could that be anywhere near--
And then I looked at it.
...And kept looking... And then looked some more. And then I found myself staring.
It's soooo pretty!!! I like how everything just... glows!
I evny you! RAR!

This is so awsome. I only wish that you did a picture where you would see more of the two figures or something because I just can't stop looking at it and everytime I start looking from top to bottem, I'm saddened because it ends so shortly.

I said it in your LJ I'll say it here...
If you offered this as print, I'd buy it!
It's EXQUISITE!! The details, it reminds me of the Sidhe courts with the beautiful fairies resides and the fairy tales it could weave. Just thought I would drop you a line to tell you how much I appreciate your skill, otherwise I would of never been able to see this picture. Now all they need is courtiers to pay homage to the Lord and Lady.
