Kaguya-hime at the Full Moon

Description

"That season, whenever Kaguya-hime saw the full moon, her eyes filled with tears."

This is another piece for my Kaguya-hime show in Santa Monica on May 16th! (Still have a lot to do! Wish me luck!)

There are lots of versions of this story, since it's very old. This version mentioned it being in summer... but I'm deciding to do the story starting in spring and ending in winter. So her kimono colors are one of the heian set-colors from the beginning of winter, Downy Maples. I tried to pick one that historically was in the right time of year... but also gave me, a modern viewer, the colder feeling I wanted.

As usual, colored in COPIC markers with prismacolor pencil and sakura gel pen accents.

Well, well... if it isn't the myth that the NEET from Touhou is based on...
