Description "Love this anime! So artistic and beautiful - feels like I'm watching a Japanese watercolor artwork coming to life!" 

That's from the description I wrote on an old Mononoke fanart I made here: nick-ian.deviantart.com/art/Fo… And I still agree with it now, eight years after.

If you haven't watched it yet, then do. It's 12 episodes of artful storytelling and vibrant eye-candy. 

All done using watercolor and pens.

Mononoke does not belong to me.

Don't know how long I stayed transfixed until I noticed I wasn't breathing. What kind of talent and patience is that; the answer is beyond me.

Yet another unknown series for me! I swear, I was ready to get a face-full of Ashitaka and co. when I read the title, without stopping to actually WATCH the thumbnail.

Looks really neat, though.

That's so true. The title can easily be mistaken for one of Miyazaki's masterpieces.

The Bake Neko one is my most fave out of the three.
Second is the Tensho Monogatari one.
The Yotsuya's the least fave.

Medicine Man's so awesome.
Really like his style and detailed artwork.
Awesome work, Sir Nick-Ian.

Yeap! Medicine Man is awesome. That's probably why he got his own spin off anime. I actually watched "Mononoke" first before "Ayakashi".

And thanks!

Shiroyama03 In reply to Nick-Ian [2015-05-14 05:27:00 +0000 UTC]

No way. Medicine Man has his own spin-off anime?
Why didn't I see that?

No prob. Medicine Man will be always my fave from the Ayakashi part.

This is probably one of the series I love the most, and I really like your fanart. It's beautiful and represents the serie's awesomness pretty well indeed *^*

Just a thing, you probably noticed already...

You forgot the small beads between the scales' wings =V

Aaah! How could I miss those! I think I can still draw them and then Photoshop it into the picture. I'll try to fix it. 

Thanks a lot for the observation. You know, we gotta make these things accurate.

Ailithir In reply to Nick-Ian [2015-05-13 15:52:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, luckily it's a detail that can be fixed without redrawing parts xD
One can't even tell that you added them later

You're welcome! *^*)/

I love it too! I should watch the other anime that works as its prologue too, one day.  ^^

That said, this is one of the best fanarts you ever made, in my opinion. It's really gorgeous.

Nick-Ian In reply to MajorasMasks [2015-05-13 00:19:13 +0000 UTC]

From what I've heard, it's a spinoff from another show. I'll check on that one day too.

And thanks so much!

fangshinobi In reply to Nick-Ian [2015-05-14 03:26:58 +0000 UTC]

The best part of that other anime was only the Mononoke episode/s though, so I suggest you can skip to the Mononoke parts. The original is pretty dang amazing~

Agreed 100% with you about this show. Great art. I love how the bg colors in the one on the right kind of blend in but not too much...if that makes any sense at all.
