Gift!art for twistedintellect (aka moonflames) for being awesome. It's fanart for her fanfic Nothing at All [link] , an awesomely introspective Sesshoumaru/Kagome romance (read it! Go!). The image is based on this scene, in Chapter 2:

“Why?” he whispered once more. He raised one clawed finger to her face centimeters away from the soft skin of her cheek. Tempted, tempted to carve his confusion onto her skin.

Finally she broke from her stupor. “Why what Sesshoumaru?” she voiced back with a quiet reverence. Her glance never went to his hand but looked instead into his eyes as if she was searching as well. Her silvery eyes reflected nothing but his confusion back to him.

“Why do you haunt me?”

He's supposed to look all confused and anguished, but with my [absence of] skill at portraying emotions, he seems to have come out more tender. Oh well. ^_^;; I'm pleased anyway, because I totally couldn't have done this six months ago! (especially Kagome's awkward angle, which I did entirely without reference).

Anyway, done in photoshop with a tablet--at, like, twice the size it is here. XD It could practically be a wallpaper. Drawing big was fun, and it helped me do neater lines...might try it more often. Although, to my frustration, my lines were all nice and crisp in the original photoshop file, but they fuzzed a bit when I saved it to JPEG! Curses. I shall defeat you yet, O demons of formatting.

~Done entirely in Photoshop 6 with a Wacom tablet.
