Kag-Kouga: You Called?by *ebjeebies

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Books & Novels

First Place in "Best Overall Artwork" for December 2011 over at the #Feudal-Association! Thanks so much guys!!! ^_______^

Prints currently available! $15+shipping. Paper size: 8.5"x11". Number available: 2.

It's done!! And just in time for Archon, which is TOMORROW!!! I'm such a procrastinator, I have soooo much to do still!

This is for Chapter 23 of ~Eien-no-Basho's "Behind the Silk Screen." I'm super pleased with how easily this piece came together; usually I paint one day and then let it sit for a bit before inking it, but I didn't have time to do that this time, but I think it turned out well anyway. The palette's a bit more muted than usual, but I thought that was appropriate for the water theme.

Here's the scene:

"Well, we've been travelling along it for weeks without any sign of them," Kagome said thoughtfully. "Where exactly in the river do they live? And how do we go about requesting an audience with them?"

Kouga paused for a moment, blinking as he considered this. At last he shrugged.

"Dunno," he said. "I've never had to deal directly with 'em before. Our territories don't intersect and they're not much involved in youkai clan squabbles, as far as I know."

"Oh," Kagome said, frowning. "Then…what should we do?"

She had studied enough of ryū to know that they dwelt inside the rivers themselves, but little beyond that. Nor has she ever seen one personally, though she knew that they were ancient and supposedly very wise. Beyond that she was at a loss.

Kouga raised his free hand to scratch idly at the back of his head, frowning out at the river. He shrugged once more.

"Why not just call?" he suggested.

"Call?" Kagome echoed, glancing incredulously at him.

He nodded, moving a few steps down the river bank. He cupped his free hand around his mouth.

"Oi!" he hollered at the water, voice loud enough to startle nearby birds into flight. "This is Kouga, head of the Eastern Wolf Clan. I wanna talk to the head of the Ryū Clan!"

Kagome blinked, staring at him in disbelief. Silence reigned in the wake of his shouting, only the trickling rush of the water audible.

Kouga frowned down at the water, obviously having been confident that it would work. He glanced back at her, expression vaguely petulant with disappointment. Kagome choked back a laugh.

"Guess not," he muttered, moving back up towards her.

Kagome laughed aloud then. His pout intensified.

"It…it was a good effort, Kouga-sama," she said placatingly between breathless chuckles. "I just don't think-"

A low rumbling stopped her short. Both turned back to the river, Kagome's eyes widening as she watched the current of the river shift and reverse. Suddenly she could sense it, like a flame sparking to life in her sixth sense. The youki was massive and ancient and somehow wise.

The thing emerged, serpentine, water rolling down off its scales in great falls as it rose from somewhere beyond the deepest depths of the river-bed. Golden eyes turned languidly towards them, white-scaled body twisting slowly to follow, and Kouga shifted to stand protectively in front of Kagome. A stretch of silence ensued in which the three eyed one another, though Kagome and Kouga with much more obvious interest than the ryū.

"You called?" the ryū spoke at last, though somehow without appearing to move its mouth in the slightest.

Hope y'all enjoy!

BTW, the print I have of this is up on the bathroom door in my studio, and there have been a few compliments that I should pass on. Somehow, I just can't look at it without humming "splish, splash, I was takin' a bath 'long about a Saturday niiiiight..." Sea dragons need their me-time too, right?

That's awesome! Thank you!

Lol, that's pretty great. I suppose the river demon does need his TLC every now and then.
