EDIT:This artwork came in SECOND in the Sci-Fi contests at #Sesskag. Thank you so much to all the people who voted for me, you guys are awesome!

My other Entry:


So this is one of my first REAL attempts with my graphite pencils. I did it for the Sess/Kag Sci-Fi contest for August and since it'll be a few months until I can afford my tablet, I thought I'd go traditional on this one. Overall, I'm happy with it, even if my scan wasn't the greatest.

The idea here is that Kagome is in a parallel world that Sesshomaru can't get to. And now that she is lost to him, he's lost in despair. It's a little darker theme-wise than I intended, but I like it better that way. Most of my stuff has been too sappy lately. If anyone wants to know what the phrase on the mirror says, it's "Abyssus Abyssum Invocat." Which is Latin for "Deep calleth unto deep." Or it can also mean "Sea calls to sea." (~Wikipedia)

Edit: I forgot to put in credit for the stock I used. Naughty me. I promise it will not happen again, but please check out these gorgeous photos that helped this picture come to life.
