Fighting the Darkness - Final

Alright, here's the finished color of the sketch that I posted earlier:  http://www.paperdemon.com/art/view/17008

And so I don't re-type the explanation behind what's going on here, I'll copy and paste because I'm lazy:

This was inspired by the rather dramatic events that are going on in the Inuyasha manga right now. Those of you who keep up with the weekly scanlations know what this is.

For those of you who don't read the current manga chapters, the gang are finally in the final battle which is taking place within Naraku's body after he's apparently used the completed Shikon no Tama. After separating Inuyasha and Kagome from Miroku and Sango, Naraku draws Inuyasha and Kagome too close to the Shikon, making it's corruption turn Inuyasha full youkai. He starts going after Kagome and she can't stop him, although he's fighting as hard as he can inside to get her away from him. Not before he takes a chunk out of her arm, though.

There's probably between 30-60 hours of work put into this; I can't be sure since I didn't keep a definite count. For anyone who is interested, though, I've done a little three part "This is sorta kinda how I do it" over at my LJ. Keep in mind it isn't in any way detailed... it's just more like narrated progress screen shots.
