Tomi Hime and Zosho no Suke from the Ayakashi arc Tenshu Monogatari. A beautiful and haunting story.Does /c/ have any artwork?
I only have this concept art...
...from the official site.
A source or two for fanart...
...would be wonderful.
More screencaps, perhaps as inspiration for artists.Portrait of Tomi Hime
With the falcon, on the castle's balcony
Grieving
Zusho-no-Suke ventures into the castle
Tomi Hime releases him from her prison
An encounter
Intimacy
In the human village
Grief has come into Tomi Hime's world
She orders Zusho-no-Suke to leave and never return
With a heavy heart, he obeys
Having decided to die from the world of humans, Zusho-no-Suke has cut off his hair
He offers Tomi Hime his katana, so she may kill him
Facing death
On the balcony, seeing the approaching destruction
He changes
She reveals her power
Beautifully drawn cover, showing the cast
While this one has the moment of the second encounter, when he stands with his back to her, still oblivious of the danger.
