Description Well, this is my last piece of art for 2013!! I barely made it!!

Speaking of which, happy New Years everyone!!

Kikyo and her shinidamachu from the anime Inuyasha. Pencil and watercolor, with some digital touch-up and texture work done in Photoshop.

I actually used a tiny figurine of Kikyo as my inspiration and one of my references

Happy New Year!  Kikyou is a pretty one.  (Though I still love Abi-Hime more).

That is such a classic and common pose for her too; perfect choice! I love how you did the water-coloring this time. It works so well with her and the ethereal effect of her soul stealers.


Happy new year to you too!

Exactly - a common pose, but never done quite this way! I was sure someone had probably done something like this already (which is still a possibility but not that I found), but when I had this image in my head and didn't find anything that looked quite like it, I decided to go for it myself!

Thanks so much!!! :hugs: Any fun plans for the new year?

We had a quiet evening in and played with our little girl. Had planned on going to bed early and somehow ended up curled up on the couch watching a movie until new year hit. We're really just taking things a day at a time and hoping everything just keeps getting better. How about you? Aside from your art project of course.

Aww that sounds nice and relaxing! Oh yeah, this year is going to be crazy. . .the big thing is that my sister and I have been planning a trip to Europe and the plan has been to go this year so I'm pretty excited about that It's a "bucket-list" trip, as in, we're going to go do everything we ever wanted to do over there so if we never get to go back we'll have done what we wanted! It's a lot of work to plan/prepare for that (we're looking at visiting at least 6 countries and will be gone for 2 weeks) on top of the art stuff I'm trying to focus on, plus I found a new anime I watched and now did a fanart for (so much for focusing on the to-do list I had, huh? ). . . but everything is very good, and no complaints from me!!

That totally sounds like you. Hey, at least you got new art in there still, right? I hope you manage to get everything in that trip that you're hoping to! It sounds like you'll have a blast~

True. . .I know, I'm so prone to distractions!!

I know, it's a short trip but I think it'll be just right, we're going to be running around Europe and having a blast!!!
