Artist's Comments

I was re-reading the Otori series

(Heavens net is wide, Across the nightingale Floor, Grass for his pillow, The Brilliance of the Moon, The Harsh cry of the Heron by Author Lian Hearn)

, and thought i would draw Takeo & Kaede (main characters), the way i see them in my head when i read their story :)


“Others too, in far-flung villages, Will no doubt be gazing at this moon. That never asks which watcher claims the night.. Loud on the unseen mountain wind, A stag’s cry quivers in the heart, And somewhere a twig lets one leaf fall”

by Zeami
(It is the foreword in lian hearn’s Brilliance of the moon)

DJ, you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
:rose:
Don't stop, make it pop

Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no

I love the Tales of the Otori too and see them quite differently in my head :D But your vision of them is wonderful and as always I love the style you render your art in :hug:
