A birthday present for one of my bestest friends! She requested human!Amaterasu and the Medicine Seller from Okami and Mononoke, respectively. I had a LOT of fun with this one. It was my first real piece done in Photoshop instead of Painter, I'm finally learning!
EDIT: There seems to be some confusion. Mononoke is NOT short for Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke, it is a new series spun off from the anime Ayakashi. The Medicine Seller is from that.
--------
The sword has been restless, whispering endlessly of discordant notes and propelling him on: there are stories of a creature in the waves that lures fishermen to their doom. He has walked long and far to reach the ocean; it has been a long time since he rested.
At the shore itself he stops where the waves wash highest, and looks up as the sun unfurls overhead, burning away the clouds in a flash of brilliance. A warm breeze touches his face and fades like fond laughter.
He bows to the ocean; he bows to the sun; he moves on.
