So, first of all, I need to let whoever sees this know that this is not original.  I was feeling inspired, and as there was a Sesshoumaru-tachi pic as the month of december, I copied it.  DO NOT GET ME WRONG, I DID NOT TRACE THIS.  You should be able to tell, as my lines are awful.  I am NOT an artist.  I am a writer.  However, as I said, I had an itch and was feeling inspired.  I did however, change it slightly from the original.  I removed Jaken from the equation and shifted Rin's gaze to her Lord.  Also the trees are somewhat original.  I only changed a few things, so that it wasn't an exact copy.

So, since I suck, it took me like, 15 total hours.  But thats also because originally I had wanted this to be a pencil piece.  This was not to be.  So after I spent many hours doing lineart, then shading...  I suddenly decided I was going to try my hand at inking.  So the process was set anew. 

I don't think I need to tell all that the characters depicted - Sesshoumaru and Rin - are NOT of my minds' creation.  They belong to one Takahashi Rumiko and the internal workings of her brilliant brain and/or hands.

 

Done with Rapidograph Koh-I-Noor pens, sizes .80, .35, .30, & .25 over pencil.

(I had to re-submit this because I stupidy forgot to crop it before posting - much love to the mods for being so nice about it!!!  So sorry if you're seeing it again...)

      LOL Yeah, I'm OK at drawing stuff that's in front of me, as long as it's still, hehe. But I'm a writer at heart. I just get the urge to draw sometimes...

    You're not an artist? You ought to be! The outlines aren't all perfect, but the inking itself, your grasp on hatching, is amazing! Truly. Take is from someone who's tried. You're GOOD! I'd look in to drawing a little more, were I you! *runs off to see how good of a writer you must be if this is a 'not-an-artist' piece to you*

      LOL

      WOW, you flatter me too much! *blush*

      No, I really am no good. I mean, I was pleased with the inking itself, but I was rather displeased by the way Sesshoumaru's face came out. Thank you so much for the lovely comments! Yes, I'm a writer, but my stuff is all in the Red Curtain, and some stuff I haven't uploaded yet here. I got my start at fanfiction.net and deviantART, so most of my stuff is there. Thanks again!!!

        I'm not flattering! Just spend a little time to learn facial anatomy, and you'd have a great start. Talent like that deserves to be practiced.

          *grins* Thanks so much! I actually decided to take your advice, and I practiced a little more today with faces... I even uploaded it, since I was so proud! Thanks!

            Well good! I'd hate to see talent like yours wasted. *runs off to see said faces*
