[SOUNDBITE][Okami/Mononoke] in-between the sea and sky

THIS IS ME GLOATING A LITTLE.

Because see,

chirachira loves me enough that she draws me crossovers even when she doesn't really know anything about the other series, and then it's in full color and GORGEOUS. Obviously this means I am awesome, but I am only a distant second compared to her♥

(And Chira, hon, I will upload the picture to my own server and change the link when I get home; I don't have access to FTP and suchlike here.)

SO HER LOVELY PICTURE and my sad little drabble that I wrote to express a fraction of my sheer insane GLEE. :D

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.

...holy crap, that's GORGEOUS. I don't even know the series involved, but STILL. Wow. Just... wow.

[laughs] Human!Amaterasu (from Okami) and the Medicine-Seller (from Mononoke); both are amazingly gorgeous in their color and style, so I made big sad eyes at her and asked for a crossover.

AND WHADAYA KNOW, SHE DID IT FOR ME♥ I feel♥ so smug! ♥

Wow. That's incredible.

Isn't it? :D She showed me the in-progress steps and I was so excited from the lineart on. :D :D :D :D :D

[smuuuuuuug] XD

It's beautiful...I think your little drabble matches it perfectly! It's short and sweet...

Thank you! :D I'm glad you liked the drabble, and I will most definitely pass on the compliments for the art♥♥♥♥

@__@ That's gorgeousssss.

Eeee! Amaterasu is tracing a circle with her finger! Oh, this so makes me want to play Okami again and mess with the people's heads by making it day and then night and then day and then night <3

Issssssn't it? :D :D :D :D Oh man, you should've seen me gleeing when she started showing me the in-progress sketches. :D

... I loved doing that entirely too much. I'm sure I probably was wrecking something horrible with the natural rhythms of the world, but. I mean. How could I resist. XD

Oh wow, that's amazing. And yay for drabble. ^^

SHE IS TOTALLY AWESOME♥ I am so smug. :D

I'm glad you liked the drabble, too♥♥

aslkdf;laksjf;lSDF;LSADJF FUCK THAT'S AWESOME

[SMUG LIKE A SMUG SMUG THING]

Every time I look at this, I just explode in yet more glee. :D

possibly one of the most gorgeous imagery I've seen in a while, together with your drabble-- oh my g-god. ♥

(man, a lovely distraction from what I'm supposed to be doing. XD)

Innit? :D :D :D I'm glad my drabble managed to dovetail with the image -- I just had to express my absolute delight with the picture♥

(Yay for happy distarctions! XD)

I may have screamed a little with happiness when I saw this. Eeeee! And the drabble is perfect!

I seriously don't blame you; I had to refrain from doing an actual outright dance of glee when my roommate told me the finished picture had been posted. :D *glee*

Also, am glad you liked the drabble! ♥

hair! hair over the legs and spilling everywhere! hair that becomes clouds!! ooohhh. Also the colors and texture are gorgeous. And the obi makes me happy.

Her version of human!Amaterasu is probably my favorite, of all the J-art sites I've browsed♥ And the hair becoming clouds is a thing of sheer glory. :D

If you like the textures and colors, I would also recommend watching Mononoke itself (twelve episodes, it's short!); that show is all about the visual enhancing the story. ♥

You DESERVE to be smug. Why, I feel smug when I look at this picture and read your post AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET CHIRACHIRA TO DRAW IT.

*smugsmug*

♥♥♥ I have to refrain from doing a dance of glee every time I look at that picture. :D :D :D :D

This may very well be my favorite crossover ever♥♥♥

♥!

ZOMG!! Ukiyo-e style!!! It's absolutely gorgeous *o*.

Okay, I am a puddle now. ♥♥♥ That picture (The textures! The colors! SO GORGEOUS.) and the drabble just completely made my day. ♥

omgggggggggg

Holy tamales,that is astonishing.

chirachira is an incredible artist and probably a professional and uh, I think I'll go see if she has a gallery.

Also, we will be adding Mononoke to the queue for Tuesday Night Anime.

Also, would you mind if I passed on this link to a friend of mine who loves Okami? She would appreciate the gorgeosity!

Chira has a dA account, actually! :D I cannot remember it off the top of my head, as I am not a fan of that particular site, but she's got the link in her LJ. YOU SHOULD CHECK HER OUT because she is fabulous and she needs all the pimping and love she can get♥

I wouldn't mind at all -- I would love to meet more Okami fans, myself. :)

Holy crap, I mean, the first thought I had? Wait, you mean this isn't official art?

Yeah, nuff said. <3

Chira is totally awesome beyond all belief♥

(You should tell her that, otherwise she will not believe me. T^T)

It is made of all kinds of awesome O: *worships*

♥ I am sooooo terribly smug♥ Like MADNESS.

Be sure to tell Chira that too, because she is so far and beyond awesome and needs to know♥

Re: from telophase's lj :D

this link was given to me by

urbi_et_orbi ♥

AND YES, IT IS MADE OF ALL KINDS OF AWESOME =O

♥♥♥

chirachira is totally made of win and awesome♥

I'm converted. I need to find out how to get Mononoke!

I know Ayakashi is licensed (but by Geneon, so you may want to scramble to find it); the last arc of the series is the "Bake Neko" arc, which is where the Medicine Seller is introduced. About a year later, they made Mononoke as a spinoff of that, and you can find some fansubs of it floating around, or if you dig around in

mononoke_anime's archives, you can find links. :D

I'd recommend it, if you like Mononoke -- it's that same sort of careful mix of human and inhuman, the dreaming and the violent. :)

The drabble is adorable, and your friend's art is so gorgeous. How lucky to have someone to draw you fanart!

(By the way, I have read the rest of your Okami fanfics, but I've been feeling too uncomfortable to comment on months-old posts. So I'll take the chance and do it here so I won't spam you. They're splendid, and although the fanon mythology tie-ins were not that compatible with my own I enjoyed them nonetheless, and found them really creative and interesting. And as much as I love Ushiwaka and your stories about him, I'm just giddy that someone drabbled on the Brush Gods :D)

Thank you! :D I seem to know a disproportionate amount of artists, and they're usually pretty agreeable to drawing a birthday picture. ^^v

(Oh, I don't mind comments on old posts, I really don't -- it means people are still reading and liking them. :) I'm glad you liked them even with the different fanon -- and yeaaaah, I am a fan of all the Brush Gods, damnit. XD I would write more with them, if I had the opportunity.)

♥

This is so gorgeous!

I will be sure to let her know♥♥♥

Wow. That's just - breathtaking! ♥

Isn't it? :D :D It made me glee like a mad thing when she drew this crossover for me. :3

Wow, that really looks great, and the drabble fits it nicely too. I only found out about this series a moment ago; actually I had thought the Mononoke character was from Okami - -;

[laughs] Unfortunately, no -- I'm sure the Medicine-Seller would fit in very nicely with Okami, which is why I asked Chira for the crossover in the first place, but he's got his own series. ^^

I'm glad you liked the drabble, too~

Is it oxymoronic to say that I'm dumbfounded by both of you?

It might be, a little, but I think one can call that a technicality and move on. XD

I'm glad you liked both -- I will pass on to Chira about the art. :)

(here by way of

telophase)

This is absolutely beautiful! I've never played Okami but I am DLing Mononoke as I type this!

Ooo -- if you have a PS2, I would really recommend Okami; it's my favorite game pretty much hands-down. :) And Mononoke is also beautiful -- I hope you enjoy it when you finish your download!
