Artist's Comments

FINALLY. I can't work on this anymore, so up it goes! For *Resmiranda's House of the Moon tale The Hime and the Dog Prince. And now I get to rant about it.

I sketched it really rough on crappy paper, transferred the clean lines to a new sheet, then transfered THAT to bristol to ink. You know what took me the longest on this whole thing? Not the drawing, not the coloring, but that god damn border, and you don't even get to see why. I did this fabulous, intricate white text border with interlocking shape and letterforms and when I inked it in realized it just didn't work. OH THE HORROR!! So I was forced to color over it to be solid. *weep*
The scan ate everything and I'm sorry. Plus the line in the middle can't be fully taken away...I had to scan it in two parts because of its size (11x14) and piecing it together just wouldn't work. Anyways, am pleased yet sleepy.

Kagome's such a sweetheart, ne?

This is just awesome! I think it has a great, whimsical feel to it! Good work!

I'm so desperately in love with you, it's pathetic. The fangirliness is strong in, uh, me!

Just... HA! This is so fucking awesome there are NO WORDS for it. I'm grinning like a fooooool. Also, jeez, there are, like, three canon characters in this picture, and all the rest are OCs! I didn't realize I had so many freaking original characters, but I guess that's what happens when you kill off the majority of the cast. (The worst part? I couldn't even remember Haru's name for a moment; a side-effect of pulling them all out of my ass on the fly, I suppose.) But I love Haru! He looks awesome! And Rei! And the puppies! AND MACHIKO. Ohgodyes*snort*. And... and... and... Aiko the dragon. I feel so very bad about her now. She doesn't really... you know... look like she'd melt everyone who came near in this picture. And now she's so much dragon filet. Alas!

But that aside.... love Kagome... gah! she's so adorable; I love the way you draw her, cos she's always so damn effervescent. Love Sess. Pretty hair. And Kouga and Akiyama are making me giggle like crazy. I didn't realize how funny their relationship really was until you pointed it out, and now I can't get over them. Must... write... sidestory!

As always, totally blown away by your coloring finesse with markers and ink and gah. *issoenvious* Wouldn't have noticed the line if you hadn't pointed it out, and am filled with sadness, re: border, but it looks fabulous just the way it is.

(And now I feel guilty because I have a little gift for you bubbling quietly away on the backburner that I really should finish gah. But much love. So. Much. Love.)

Insanity, Sesshoumaru decided, just wasn't for him. He wasn't even certain that he had been doing it right, anyway.

Oh man this pic is just so fabulous. How do you do that with only ink?? Sorry about the border, I know how that feels when something doesn't go right after you've invested hours of your life.

I can't pic out one part of this pic that I love, everyone is so cute. Although the look on Kagome's face, then there is the Hime, also Kouga and his goofy son, and the dragon.

..do you know how insanely giddy you just made me feel? SUPER! I've got this massive grin plastered on my face, so thankoo, thankoo thankoo!

I really wanted to draw your OC's because the way you introduced them in the story wasn't awkward or misplaced like in many other fics I've read *shudders* and they felt so real that I HAD to draw them! You know..I bet you could make money off this fic by auctioning off appearences in them and just changing names.
*imagines if a paranoid schizophrenic or an InuNewbie won* Hmmm, nevermind.
Kouga and family was so much fun to draw because I was reading through and realized they didn't have any normal father son bonding moments like the ones on made-for-TV movies that're shot through a hazy filter in slow motion....more like:
"Hey dad, I knocked up some human chick, but she ran away so it's all good now."
"FOO! Stop being a pansy and get her back!"
"...but I don't want to."
*SLAP*

I love the way you write Kagome, she's an amazing brightness no matter what, and it makes it so much easier for me to draw her. (As long as joo keep up the writing, then giftie can simmer away as long as need be) And before my brain shorts out, thankoo again! *feeds hubris by rereading*

I hate how cute the dragon ended up being here, since she turns into ryu-burgers later. *sniffle*

Yes, it is sad that she had to end up in bite size pieces. Too bad they couldn't draw a truce or something. No, no the battle just had to be to the death.

Actually...how can you call a truce with a dragon?
