Description Another piece of Princess Mononoke fanart ...

Shishigami, the great god of the forest. A god of life and death.

"At the touch of the Deer God's hoof
Grass grows, trees revive
Wounded animals regain their strength.

At the touch of the Deer God's breath
Grass withers, trees rot
And Life ends without fail."


I did this in watercolours, using Derwent Inktense pencils with and without water added. I'm very proud of it, as it's the first proper watercolour I've done in a long time. I know it's by no means perfect, but there's nothing else I'd really like to do to it. I like it how it is.

The quote above is from the poem 'The Forest of the Deer God' by Hayao Miyazaki, printed in a book on the art of Princess Mononoke.

There's a lot to inspire me in that book - I just got it the other day. So you'll probably see more Princess Mononoke fanart from me in the near future!!
